The hubster and I returned to the beginning of our romance with a journey back to our college campus. We were in the area for a wedding and decided to take a trip down memory lane. We laughed and sighed, both placing our hands over our hearts as we remembered how good it was to be young and free. Not that we don't love our lives now...they are so much fuller and richer than they ever have been. But, as we toted our girls to some of our favorite spots we reminisced about what a blessing it was to have that time in our lives. Planning our classes so that we'd have 4-day weekends, sleeping in until just moments before our first class (8:30 was EARLY!), driving cars that just barely made it from here to there, frequenting Perkins at all hours of the night....and we thought we were stressed!
We had all the freedom in the world! And thank goodness we came from such loving homes....because that freedom required wisdom. Makes me think about the fact that someday our girls will be out on their own and how I want to make the most of every opportunity to show them how beautiful (although sometimes lonely) the narrow path can be. (Matthew 7:13)
As the memories flowed, we were grateful. Grateful for all the laughter and the lessons. Take a walk with us down memory lane....
the tree where Hubby and I had our first looooong chat
campus...many vicious games of capture the flag
started in this very spot
dahl and ballard halls...where we each discovered the company of good friends and the deep love of Jesus
cheap and delicious!
