¡Estoy en España!

Well, I made it here safely. This is only my first day after arrival, but I already think I'm really going to enjoy my time here. The city is lovely - and I'm staying only five minutes [walking] away from that famous aqueduct built by the Romans back in the 1st century! How cool is that?! Well, I'm not going to write more now, and I'm not sure how often I will post updates, but I'll try to post some more later on. Pero, por ahora - ¡adios!

"Every experience that God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." 

-Corrie Ten Boom 

"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own', or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life - the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one's 'real life' is a phantom of one's own imagination. This is at least what I see at moments of insight: but it's hard to remember it all the time." 

-C.S. Lewis 

My, how time flies!

Well, I am now 21 years old. Hard to believe! And I thought 18 felt old. :D Anyway, I had a wonderful celebration! All my grandparents (two grandmothers and a step-grandfather) were here, as well as a surprise visitor from TN. We had a lot of fun! And I always enjoy birthday calls, so thanks to those people! 

Going to bed now. (It's actually 13 minutes past the end of my official birthday, so this is technically late. Oh well.)
