I was glancing through my blogs and I realized that I never posted about my trip to England! How could I forget!?! It was only like the the biggest event of the year (so far!) and littered with exciting stories and adventures!
BUT being several weeks later, my recounts won't be incredibly amazing in describing the details of the whole trip, so I'll summarize the trip and highlight the best parts!
Spent the first 2 days around London with the Brit as my amazing tour guide. Got to see almost EVERYTHING! Big Ben, Parliament, historical parks, rivers, Buckingham Palace and yes! EVEN the soldiers dressed in red with the big fuzzy black caps! It was fantastic! Hand-in-hand he proudly showed me all the sites he thought I would love and beamed at my child-like enthusiasm.
After a few days of being in England, we took a special trip over to Rhodes Greece where I got to see more amazing history, castles, temples, and rode a donkey in Lin dos to the Acropolis (and yes, I had "MAMA Mia Stuck in my head PRAYING that I was somewhere near where they filmed it! Probably not...I was singing it in my head anyways! LOL!) But the most important night was when we got ENGAGED!!
So, we went to this amazing restaurant called "Mama Sofia's" which is a 3 story restaurant (we ate on the roof with a fantastic view!) and had the most amazing seafood platter followed by ice cream and what I thought was "casual conversation". :) the Brit was talking about how he was pleased with the way everything had progressed and that he thought it was only logical with as well as things were going that we get married. I smiled, took a spoonful of ice cream and nodded in agreement noting that I would like that as well...He looks at me confused and approaches again "No, I mean, I really think we should get married!" I give him a confused look and say "I know! We've talked about it!" He shakes his head and says "No! I mean you should marry me!" I look back at him and say "Well you have to purpose first!" and he spouts back "I'm TRYING to!" THEN it magically dawned on me what he was doing! LOL! "OHHHH!!!......Well where's the ring!?" He looks at me and brightens and pulls the ring out of his pocket and I say "now ask me again!" and he asked and me being the brat I am teasingly tell him "hhmmm...I don't know, I think I need to ask my mother and father first!!" Upon seeing the puzzled look on his face I quickly told him I was kidding and he put on the ring and I gushed! It was so fantastic and romantic!
The rest of the trip after Rhodes was full of meeting his kids (Who I adore!) his parents who are just like my fiancee (OHH YES! I said it! ;) ) and meeting fantastic friends who I know will become like family to me!
All in all, I'm an EXTREMELY blessed girl! I'm constantly amazed how God can't take such tragic situations and turn them into amazing 2nd chances and opportunities! I have been given such an amazing opportunity to meet the person I truly believe is my soul mate. I never imagined in a million years that I would ever experience loving and being loved in such an unimaginable way. No, it's not perfect, but as I always say "sometimes perfect is a little imperfect!" But it is "perfect" for me. for once, I can't wait to move on to the next chapter of my life, I'm excited to see what future adventures await!
Live, Laugh, Love!
