I celebrated Thanksgiving in Cambridge with two of my really great friends from undergrad at East Central University, Collin and Candice. Collin is working on his PhD from Cambridge, I have not seen them in a few years, mainly because they have been living here in the UK for the past couple of years. Collin and Candice were a pretty newly married couple at ECU and were always inviting all of us from the church over for dinner and people would bring their laundry to their house and we would hang out often, so it was really great to see them and to hang out with them again. They just found out that they are pregnant and just finished telling the news to their family and friends.
Anyway, we just hung out and talked and caught up for a bit before other Americans, a few Aussies, and Brits came over for a a Thanksgiving dinner of about 20 people. So in this room were some of the smartest people I have ever met, all either working on their PhD.s from Cambridge or they already have their PhD. Some have published books, one was a Chemist, another a Philosopher, but most were in the field of Divinity .. or related. The food was amazing and the conversation was even better, we all just sat around the dinner table eating, chatting, and drinking wine for a few hours. It was a great night and am thankful that I had friends to spend my Thanksgiving with while I am away.
