Guess Who I Saw?!?

Saturday morning Chelsea and I got up early and headed to Portabello Market to get a few last minute things. It was so fun to check out all the little shops and see the cute antiques. We didn't buy anything but it was still fun to look.

We then headed to the "Trooping of the Colors" where they have a parade for the Queen for her birthday. Many people went and camped out early but we just went later after we shopped. We heard the Queen was leaving Buckingham Palace at 10:45 and so Chelsea and I showed up at 10:30, perfect. We stood at Buckingham and had pretty decent standing area. It was so crowded though.


We watched and were able to see Prince Harry!!! And then we were able to see the QUEEN!!! I am kind of far away but I saw them and that’s all that matters. Here are the pictures I took. I zoomed in and cropped so you can actually see their faces.

We had such a hard time getting through the crowds and getting back to the tube. It was so crazy!
I then shopped for a little, got some last minute souvenirs and other items and then I headed back to the center…to study for finals. It was our "reading day" to prepare. (And for these finals 1 day was not enough, 1 month wouldn't have been enough!) But we did take breaks from studying to get dinner.

We then had review sessions that night in the classroom and then I studied more and finished up my Relief Society Lesson. I then also had to shower. So you may be asking, what time did I go to bed? 3 AM!!!
