100 DAYS! WHOA WHOA WHOA. It feels like a life time ago that I headed over the pond to Paris with everybody. This adventure is coming to an end in just 2 weeks and today is my last Sunday being 24 years old. Weird. WEIRD. This weekend has been really fun. Camille and I have been straight up chillin. When we get back to happy valley real life is gonna come in like a wrecking ball because I start working basically the second the plane touches the ground. I can't complain though because I am really excited about being able to work with some of my favorite people aka Danilee, my mum, Dr. T and Mrs. O. Also, I think I am going to call my mom, Mum, for now on because lets be honest its way more cute and she doesn't like it when we call her Lizza. ALSO, today is mothers day in the UK so Happy Mum Day Mum! You are Mumtastic. Its also daylight savings so instead of sleeping in really late today I slept in really really late. #yolo?
On Thursday, Camille and I went to go see a movie for the first time being here. WE LITERALLY LOVE SEEING MOVIES. At home we would go a couple times a week so its been a big sacrifice (sacrifice really Jacqueline?) not seeing every movie that comes out because I love the whole movie experience. But seeing a movie here is pricey and we should be doing other things than watching movies all the time, so we have resisted. Well, we finally caved and went to the Odeon down street and saw The Grand Budapest Hotel. The movie was amazing and hilarious. The movie theatre was not very luxury though. We miss the Wynnsong and their amazing popcorn (shout out to Marc if you are reading this haha) Its the same theatre where they have the movie premier for that movie Colin Ferrel was in and where we saw him. But it was as unluxury as the freaking dollar movie in Provo. Weird. Anyway, we got out tickets and had time to kill before the movie so we went across the street to Holland park since Camille hadn't gone there yet. We were greeted with this nice lil peacock. I'm telling you Holland park is magical. I love it. We also had to do a photo shoot because we are McKeon girls and that's just what you do where ever you go.
The Kewl Gurls
After the walk we all went to the Borough Market and got giant cookies again cause duh.
I <3 LONDON
Later that day, Ali and I rented bikes and rode over to Buckingham Palace. I love Ali. Nicest girl in the world and sooooooo funny. We came home did a few work out videos and then went on a long walk in Kensington Gardens. Its not everyday that you go past two palaces on casual workouts. That night we played card games with Savannah and Emily then pushed the couches together and watched a scary movie.
On Saturday, Audrey, Camille, Ali and I went to lunch at Hummus Bros down by Oxford Street where I ran into this little shop. I love everything Hobbity. Don't worry, I didn't buy anything there. After lunch, we went shopping for souvenirs at Cool Britannia and Cath Kitson. If you haven't heard of Cath Kitson I recommend you look it up. EVERYTHING is cute there. Its not really my style, its more Danilee style, but I still adore it all.
We dyed Cornmeals hair pink. Byu rules? What Byu rules?
This is the Tesco where we do all our shopping. I might of gotten a little sad driving past it on the bus because I am going to miss it.
So...we went to another movie, Nonstop, with Ali and Audrey. The movie was freaking intense and probably not the best movie to watch before leaving on a 10+ hour flight home in a couple weeks. But something even more intense happened during the movie that made me feel like I was Liam Neeson. So, we are just happily/butt clenchingly watching the movie when this random/sketchy looking guys comes through the fire exit of the theatre, right by the screen. He looked kinda homeless and started walking up the stairs, tripping on them, and then walked out of the room to the lobby. I was on high alert and looked around only to notice no one was doing anything. So, I sprung into action because theres no way in *heck* that I was gonna let something happen to my little sister, my friends and myself. So, I went got up and headed to the doors to go get an employee. While I was walking to the door, creeper guy comes back into the room! I straighten up and was prepared to fight to the death basically....even though I have no idea how to do that. Well I think I freaked him out cause he took off running back down the stairs and out the fire exit. I ran out into the lobby and grabbed a very confused Asian employee who hardly spoke English and made him go after the man and make sure the door was locked. So.... they'll probably make a movie after this heroic experience.
In other news.... I HAVE THE BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD. She is just so nice and thoughtful I just cant even. I have been trying to find a black turban head band thing for ages and Madison found one and mailed it to me. THATS SO NICE. SHE IS SO NICE. I just love her so much. I can't wait to hang out with my bestie boo and eat chocolate and bread twists and just laugh and laugh and laugh.
The people at Metrogate (where we pick up our mail) were so confused. They were like wait is your name really J Queen. And I was like yes. yes it is.
