Steven's Here!!!!!

Yay-yay-YAY!!!! Oh my word. I could hardly sleep last night. I woke up at 5:30 this morning (an hour before I needed to get up) thinking "can I go now? maybe his plane will be early." I was super anxious. It was SO good to see Steven!! So so good! I can't even tell you how good.

Hilde spent the day in Oxford with Victoria so Steven and I had the whole day to ourselves : ) Hilde was oh so sweet and super understanding of the fact that Steven wasn't particularly wanting to share me today so she made plans to go somewhere else. I took Steven to the lake and showed him around Virginia Water, which takes all of 3 minutes.

It was such a lovely day to be at the lake! It wasn't sunny but it wasn't raining and that's a huge bonus these days!! It still isn't all that cold here either, which is wonderful. We walked around and saw the Cascade/Grotto (above) and then found some ruins.

We were a bit disappointed that we couldn't actually sort out what had been ruined... but the old columns and bricks and stones and statues still looked really cool : )

We were both real tired by the time we got back to the house and spent the rest of the afternoon slash evening watching Friends (because I do that everyday), eating left-over chili and playing Scrabble. Then we met Hilde on her way back from the train station and we all enjoyed tea and cookies (again), which was quite nice.

Tomorrow, we're all headed into London! It's going to be wonderful!!

GOODNIGHT!
