Hanging at the dorms



Joy here ... backwards again!! This is from November :) Work with me people! As I'm trying to do all this - Brittney and I are "IMing" and I can't do two things at one time I'm learning!! No, I really can! Anyhoooo ... we took Ashlyn, Ben, Josh to "College For A Weekend". We drove ten hours one way! To ride with three teenagers is um ... interesting! It was either really loud or quiet due to them sleeping or listening to their ipods and texting. Why must they text each other when they are right there? We got to LU and got the kids checked into their dorms. Ashlyn stayed with sweet Eliza Harper; a FBC, Jax gal; the boys stayed with some of Elizas' friends. We got checked into our hotel.
Brittney had just moved back to Lynchburg that very week to begin her new job at Liberty - so we got to spend the weekend with her. The kids had a blast! So did we! We weren't with the kids much overall; we'd call/connect with them along the way. Ashlyn feels led to go to LU - we know it's an amazing school - Brittney just graduated from there in May and we have several family members who graduated from there. Our prayer for our girls has been pretty basic and trusting ... God's will 100%. Ashlyn LOVED it; so did the boys. We went to some financial aid seminars, luncheons and got to meet other parents; we saw friends, met new ones.
We all went to the Liberty-Gardner Webb football game; it was freezing cold! We had so much fun and yelled for the Flames. Tim/I used to fly up with Daddy and watch my brother, Jon, play for LU back in the day.
Please pray with us that the Lord will reveal His perfect plan for Ashlyn's life regarding college. This is a crucial age.
