Life in London, Day 1

So here I am! I'm in London. I live here! This is weird. I arrived this morning after the craziest itenerary ever (Vail-Dallas-Chicago-London), and LBB was so sweet to pick me and my near 200 pounds of luggage up at the airport! I relaxed with her a bit and we grabbed some lunch, then I spent most of my afternoon and evening meeting my new flatmates and checking out our flat! Yup! We got a flat! We sign the lease tomorrow but we already have the keys, so it's definitely ours! Exciting!!!


Here are some pics:









This is the kitchen (duh). Fortunately there is a microwave so I can practice my culinary skills (aka reheating left overs). I make a mean frozen pizza as well. :) Unfortunately there is no dishwasher! This could be interesting. But over all the kitchen has lots of storage space and should work great!


















This is my bedroom! I am sooooo excited. It is huge and there is a ton of storage space. And of course this is pre-Hilary decor, although to be honest I'm not sure how much I'll really do. Guess you'll just have to stay posted!








That's it for now...I'll take more pics tomorrow after moving in a bit. Exciting times!!

Hi, Hil! We got your nice note in the mail yesterday, so I FINALLY got to check out your blog! Excellent! Clap clap clap WOW! :-)
(That cracked me up!)Sorry we didn't get to really see your Zambia presentation...we'll look forward to doing that w/your mom & dad. We're really proud of you for what you accomplished this summer. I know it was life changing for you, and I know that YOU changed lives!

I didn't realize you're already in London. What a great adventure. We'll be praying for you while you're such a long way from home, and I'm sure your parents will keep us posted on how you're doing. Enjoy! Good luck & God bless! Sue-who
