happy birthday to me

It's a good thing Simon's 5 years older than me, so turning 27 doesn't seem so bad. "Frankie" was making me nauseous all day but I was determined to do something fun. So Mason and I went on a date to the aquarium.

First we took the tube 3 stops.


We got off at our stop - and checked the time.

Then we walked across the Thames.



(That's the aquarium on the other side). This was the part that I realized that London is a cool city, and that I like living here. For some reason my morning sickness also comes with home sickness and I long for the states, as if I wouldn't feel miserable just because I was over there. This moment was actually a great birthday gift- and a surprise which is even better.


Then I chased M around as he shrieked at the fishes and tried to run away from me.

So glad you got out for your birthday even though you felt yucky. I also think it is entirely real to love where you are at and also long to go home. Wish we could see you guys. Miss you all.
Love, Sariah
