My mom text me this morning at 8:30 asking me if I had be watching the wedding and I'm glad she did because I totally forgot about it being on today!!!! I don't get to watch morning news TV since the kiddos dominate the AM with PBS kids programming. But I did turn things on just in time for Kate and Will to step out on the balcony and have their first public kiss.
It was so surreal watching all the footage and knowing that I have stood in that street and in front of that magnificent palace several times before. Now watching it from so far away and wishing so badly to be there to witness this history. I started thinking about all of my friends gathering in the Green in Glinton having a big old party. Everyone would be off work as it would be a national holiday and the weather would have just been amazing to have a great day with friends and celebrate English traditions.
Absolutely loved seeing The Mall loaded with people and the Union Jacks flying high.
I know I was crazy to take pictures of the TV but it's the closest I could come to actually being there. The fun thing about the morning was that I got phone calls from my mom, my sister and my mother-in-law all wanting to share their excitement with me of their memories of visiting London with us and recognizing all the sites they had been watching on TV for hours that morning. That in itself was so rewarding to me that we had a little help in fullfilling such experiences for them!!!!
