Journal Entry 37

I am honestly relieved that we are finally on our way to Beijing. The G7 summit had me wanting to pull my hair out, making sure Jonas stayed on schedule. Every leader and their support team were on strict timelines, which made every minute count.

The King and I spent this evening during our flight, preparing for his state visit to China. Behind the upcoming pomp and pageantry, Jonas will work with President Xi Jinping regarding trade and cultural exchange.

This evening was nice sitting with Jonas next to me. We certainly work well together, and there is no absence of badgering time between us. Even as we worked, there were moments when I felt like the two of us were teenagers again, laughing, joking, and being our true selves. These are the times that I cherish, and something tells me that Jonas does as well.
