finally home!

We are finally back home! The past week has been amazing, and we are home sweet home with lots of great memories of our trip. Not only was I lucky enough to meet Chris in London, but I got to spend a wonderful night in Chicago with my family and Erin, the wife of one of Chris' co-workers who was also in England with Chris. I got to see my family, my grandma (who I hadn't seen since our wedding over a year ago), have Lou Malnati's pizza, and have a great nighttime walk down Michigan Avenue and along the beach. It made me miss the city so much, and I wish Chris could have been there to share that perfect night with me! Once Erin and I arrived in London, we met the boys and began our whirlwind 3 days in the city. I don't think we've ever walked quite as much as we did in those 3 days, but man, did we see a lot! I was so thankful for Chris, and I think our traveling was made easier because of his knowledge of the subway system and his skill with reading maps of foreign cities :) We had a lot of fun, and after sore feet and lots of blisters, our London adventure came to a close and we headed home. I would like to think that we all had a really great time together, and not only did we get to see a new part of the world, we made some great friends and hopefully will have them in our lives for a long long time.
