After the trip to Wilmington, we had a couple of days at home before Molly and I headed to Lynchburg to move her into her dorm. She chose to live back on campus this year, and I love that for her. It’s such a simple life with the dining hall conveniently located next to her dorm. And friends everywhere you turn. She loves people and fun and late nights, so she will thrive!
We filled up my car with her stuff because I was to be the one to drive up and let the students load up her things in red rolling bins and deliver it all to her room. Liberty move in is AMAZING!!!!!! They have music playing and smiles and signs to welcome everyone. And the parents don’t have to lug all the stuff to the room.
Molly went super simple this year because she has already done the decorations and moving allll the stuff out that she chose to move in, so she planned a bit more strategically with her clothes and decor. I love that about her.
Lillah!! We love Lillah. They’re in the same building so that’s fun!
Shout out to Coca Cola Consolidated who is sponsoring the kids’ education here. lol
After a full few hours of moving her in and running to Target, we grabbed some dinner and then went to a little birthday party for Kylie, Ruby’s room mate. It was fun to see all of the friends.
The next day we went shopping because that’s of much more interest to the girls than moving in or decorating. We had a fun time! I got to see Ruby’s workplace in the mall and meet her manager. And we bought some cute things!
I absolutely loved being with the girls and seeing where they’re living. They are blessed to be at Liberty. What an amazing spot! I love it there.
We saw some young girls crying as they were hugging their parents. We saw families circled up and praying for their student they were leaving. We saw moms and dads working so hard to make sure their kid had everything they needed in their dorm. It’s just the sweetest time. I was reminded of our first drop off with Ruby. She didn’t cry. And then we dropped Molly the next year and there were lots of tears. They have both grown and matured and learned so much about themselves and about life while they’ve been at Liberty. They have met some amazing friends—and somehow I still feel like the best is yet to come!
Praying this is the best year yet! Go Flames!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
{Josh and I are doing well today, our first day with no kids in the house because they’re all at college. I feel a bit like I’ve been run over by a truck after the whirlwind week, but I’m sure things will settle down and I’ll enjoy the clean, quiet house and my simple routine—and also look forward to a weekend visit from any of them!}
