Two years ago today…

I was on a plane flying to England, to meet Ian (and Jane) for the first time!   See?

It was incredible taking a flight which left in my mid-morning and landed the next day, bright and early, in London. I’ve never been overseas before. The sun went down and came back up so quickly. 🙂

I remember Ian calling my phone when I was in Chicago about to catch the train to another terminal, asking me if I was doing alright.

I remember landing at Heathrow, first thing in the morning, and being quizzed by the border guard at the airport. I anticipated all the questions. I was a woman travelling alone, with my first passport stamp yet to be applied.

I remember coming to the luggage carousel and wondering why it wasn’t on the other side of the reception lounge, like in America. I remember hearing all the people speak with accents. And of course, I remember seeing Ian right there, waiting for me. It was so exciting!

Then, we rang Gemmak, who’d been watching the plane on the Internet all night long. 🙂    Of course, I’d been watching pixel by pixel from the air, as well.

It was a wonderful trip… Read my 女生壁纸ins高级质感 2008 to see more about it, if you like.

Wow. Two years ago. And we weren’t able to celebrate together last year. But this year, we are married and living on the same continent. 🙂
