Royal Wedding, Prom

RoyalToday was a day that literally BILLIONS of people all over the world have been anxiously awaiting: Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding!

I passed out around 6PM Thursday night. It was completely by accident, but beneficial in the long run- I was up and ready to go by 2AM! I decided that this shirt would be appropriate to wear as I watched the festivities:

 Around 3:15AM, Mom and I went downstairs to prepare breakfast. We ate waffles and fresh fruit with whipped cream, orange juice, and, of course, tea!

To make our feast all the more regal, we used one of Mom's sets of china!

And so we watched.

From William's and Kate's arrivals:

To to the wedding ceremony:

And finally, the long-awaited kiss

(which turned into two kisses!):

All in all, it was a spectacular, historical day- truly a fairytale!

*semi side note: Prince Harry looked aboslutely wonderful. The tousled hair and that uniform- my my was it delightful. And how adorable was he in the carriage with the bridemaids and pages!?

Besides being one of the biggest royal events in the last 30 years, today also happened to be the day of my school's junior prom. Although I am a junior, I did not attend. To make a long story short, I ended up without a date. Honestly, I'm not worrying too much about it, mostly because it's junior prom. Senior is the important one, and I hardly think I'm going to look back in 20 years and regret not going.

In lieu of going to the prom, Mom and I went to dinner, then came home and watched the Royal Wedding edition of Fashion Police on E! (we LOVE Joan Rivers). All in all, it was a nice night and a nice end to a certainly exhausting, but wonderful day!

By the way, here are my two newest followers!

Thursday Thoughts

You may call it procrastinating; I call it burning the midnight oil. It's the middle of the night and I don't feel much like going to bed, so here's a couple things that are on my mind:

1. My job hunt kicked off this week, and today, I filled out my first ever job application. Although I don't have much paid work experience except babysitting, I listed the various volunteer posititions I've held every summer for the last 3 (going on 4) years. Also, the application asked for typing/computer experience and, as a girl who has been using the computer since she was three and could touch type by the time she started high school, I must say that that will definitely not be an issue for me! According to my mother, I should wait a month for them to call me before I call them. Too bad I'm anxious already, and it hasn't even been one day!

2. Like thousands (millions?) of women all over the world, I am starting to get very excited for a certain Prince (and a future Princess'!) big day. My mother and I have already made a plan for watching and celebrating this monumental wedding. Wake up time will be 3:30, giving us enough time to make a breakfast of waffles, fresh fruit, and, of course, tea! We will tune in to ABC's coverage of the wedding starting at 4:00 AM. Thankfully, I'm allowed to stay home from school that day, as getting up at 3:30 will probably leave me more than a little bit tired once all the excitement is over.
