A Great Day

Today Colby came to visit and I had a great time showing her around. She is always a blast to be around and it was so good to see her again! We decided to be uber-tourists, and so we did the traditional Cambridge routine of King's Chapel, lunch at the Eagle, window-shopping in the market, punting along the Cam and warming up afterwards in a coffee shop. It was a great day.

Plus, my first new credit card came today! Yay! This is such a relief, as I literally had no food left. I can put off buying most things, but food? Not so much.

Above all, I think this whole experience has been life's little way of reminding me to be thankful of what I have. It becomes all together too easy to not realize how much you value something until it is gone. I lost my money and security for two weeks, and that is not an experience I ever care to repeat! However, it also served as a reminder of how blessed I am with family and friends. Their offerings of support were very touching, and I don't know what I would have done without them!

Now I am off to dinner at the college and to go see Harry Potter! Yay!
