Day 1

There is about 6 hours till my flight from Kansas City leaves, which means that in less than 24 hours, I will finally be in England! I have been waiting for this trip for the last 6 months and am getting to the stage where I am not only excited, but nervous, anxious, and relieved. I cannot wait until I get there, but am unsure of what to expect when I get there.

Yesterday I made a fantastic pizza for my mom as the last homemade meal I would make for her before I left. It was asparagus pizza (I know it sounds gross, but it was actually really great! and I'm not even a huge fan of asparagus), and even though I left out a minor ingredient and used store bought pizza crust instead of from scratch, it still turned out really great. I even took pictures! But wasn't paying attention when I was clearing off my memory card and deleted it. Dang it! If you want to see a picture of it, go to smittenkitchen.com (my absolute FAVORITE cooking site). A picture of it is right under the root beer float cupcakes (which I will be making the first chance I get!).

Anyway, I am in Kansas City right now hanging out with my rambunctious cousins, so I am going to go make sure they don't hurt each other when playing around and finish getting myself together for my flight. Have a great day everyone!
