As many of you know, Rhonald and I went to the same university (although we did not meet until 3 months after I had graduated...right as he was starting his Senior year - but that is a story for another time). Rhonald's parents live in the town where we went to school and yet we never make it on to campus. We always find ourselves busy with other things. I have always wanted to take Cole there because he asks so many questions about it and we have so many good memories from our time there. A few Sundays ago we were in Searcy and decided to make a trip over to Harding. It did not disappoint! Rhonald and I had very different experiences there...both good but very different. I was 18 and very far away from home, living in the dorms and submerged in college life. He was living at home, hanging out with friends, focused on school and very used to life on campus because he had lived there forever. It was so much fun to show Cole where we studied, lived and hung out. He loved it too! He was running around like he owned the place (making all of the college girls laugh). We told him stories and showed him things that even we had forgotten about. It had been 10 years since we had been on campus and it was just as beautiful as we had remembered it. I am so glad we were able to make the trip there and I am so excited to take the kids back again as they get a bit older. There are many more stories to tell...
