Countdown: 4 days

4 days until this. I don't even know what to say anymore other than I AM THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD. To top it off, last night one of my friends told me that as a present for my "first trip to Europe" I will be receiving a Manchester United t-shirt (sent straight from London) AND a brand new digital camera complete with a memory card that will allow me to take anywhere from 2,000 - 10,000 pictures!!!!! Seriously, how lucky am I???

Side note: I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but the European Cup (soccer) game will take place in Rome while E and I are there. The two teams are Manchester United and Barcelona. I am sure E will be pulling for Barcelona (BarTHelona) and I will be pulling for Man U! I.CAN'T.WAIT!!!!!

Now, I must get down to business. Last night was the season premiere of the Bachelorette. Boy am I glad I threw away my grudge against the show and Jason (which, we really shouldn't waste our time on him anymore. He is OLD NEWS.). Last nights show was great!! Jillian is absolutely gorgeous, in a normal way (not superficial, all made-up way).
You could tell that she was genuinely enjoying herself and the producers did an incredible job of selecting the guys, for the most part. It was funny to watch Jillian loosen up after a few glasses of wine (and her lipstick kept magically reappearing. Gotta love the producers looking out for her!) As I said yesterday, from the pictures I felt Jake was the cutest. He definitely did not disappoint, however, he is a bit serious. I hope he shakes that and makes her laugh! The other guys that caught me by surprise were Kympton (right). Talk about a little stud who knows how to carry himself? I'm impressed. Then there is Mark (below) who doesn't catch my eye just by the picture, but when I saw him on the show I got excited!!! Again, I think he came across very mature for his age and Jillian wouldn't know that he is younger than her. Also Jesse, the wine maker from CA was cute. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!! I have no problem admitting that I will take a Bachelorette reject. I haven't seen guys like this in Washington D.C. Whats up with that?
