London!

We went to LONDON!  It was so incredible!  I am going to just have to do a whole scrapbook of its own or something because it just might be too much to put all up on here but I will do my best!

Gotta love the food! 

Jake thought the pillows smelled nice  












The Parentals
On the Tube- "Mind the Gap"
 Just roaming the streets of London
Epic ceiling of the Museum!
On the Bridge!


BIG BEN!  Was definitely Jake's favorite!

 
Platform 9 3/4 
I asked a worker where platform 9 and 3/4 was and he didn't even laugh :( I guess they get that a lot



You can buy wands!



London Tower






WICKED!
It was so so good!  Jake loved it!  Dad is showing off our $10 popcorn haha
 

The Palace and Changing of the Guards

















West Minster Abbey









The Eye


Random
It was COLD!



 

Peter Pan


Disney Land!

Disney Land is always incredible, the only thing that could make it better (and a little crazier)  is going with the whole extended family on the Kendall side and my new fiancĂ©! 


I think that it's possible that I both surprised and embarrassed Jacob a bit with my posing for pictures, but that's ok because he got into it after awhile. 




LOVE the cars ride as you can tell from the picture, technology is amazing.
 Who knew that the discover place in Tomorrow land was so epic?! I didn't.  They had a bunch of the original suits from Iron Man AND  the best part was downstairs with the smart home.  The bedroom was a Peter Pan room that when you read the story it was interactive!  (I tried to take a video but I didn't push the right button) 

 
I guess we aren't King, at least we tried though right?
 

Isn't my fiance so handsome? I am so happy that I found my Prince.
 

Disney Land was magical as always. It was beautiful chaos trying to plan with that big of a group and so much fun to be with everyone.  All this family love and happiness was possible because of Grandma and Grandpa, they are amazing!

Proposal!

It was my Birthday, and Jacob had planned a surprise.
We hiked up Rock Canyon to a beautiful spot next to a stream.
He surprised me with a Russian picnic including real Russian juice and waffly!
The next picture is of the spot where he asked me to marry him.
It was a perfect day!  He was so sweet in just wanting to make my birthday special. We hiked up the canyon for about an hour enjoying the incredible fall colors and each other's company, just talking.  We talked about past birthdays and special moments we have had in nature and about making new memories and special places.  After we found the perfect spot, Jacob made us sandwiches and we ate and listened to the stream.  He also pulled out my present which was beautifully wrapped in silver wrapping paper.  He kept up with the Russian theme and bought me adorable Russian Doll measuring cups.  After that he said, "I have one more surprise for you".  He pulled out his camera and a tripod and told me that for my birthday we were going to take a real picture in this beautiful place.   Set he set it up and, "set the timer".   While he was counting down he ran over to me, and then he said that he had forgotten one of my presents.  He got down on one knee, and he asked me to marry him. 

I was so shocked! I had wanted him to propose but I didn't think that it would happen for another couple of months.  The ring was gorgeous!  He couldn't have picked a better ring for me, it is incredible.  After some freaking out and hugging and laughing and kissing, we got the ring on my finger and we talked about marriage and life and love.  

I love this man so much and I am so excited to start this new adventure with him!
 I love you Jacob Alonzo Stewart!
