Living a life by faith is humbling. You have to say, "I can't do this on my own" everyday.

Nostalgia sets in

So I was walking Hilda the yesterday and we stopped at the Taylor U -FW closed campus. As I was hitting the ball and watching Hilda fly across the field, I turned around and saw this sign.

A flood of memories rushed back into my consciousness and, like the sappy girl I am, I got a little choked up. I had such great memories at this place. Here are a few:
  • Midnight soccer- turning on our car lights to light up the field. Loved it because the best part was how we played until there was only one or two cars with their lights on. It was a battery cable jumping party at 2:00 in the morning!
  • Praise/Prayer in Hausser- I remember that when a situation would come up (or sometimes just because we were not doing anything) we would spontaneously group together, light the fire and have a worship time in Hausser. Loved it!!!
  • Breaking in to Founders to eat bagels and cereal because we worked during dinner hours and we were broke and couldn't afford to go out and almost getting caught and running back to Shultz and people thinking it was the boys that did it... heeheeheehee! (Hey! Girls can scale wall too, you know!)
  • Shooting the girls in my wing with a super-soaker because they didn't show up for bible study. Knock! Knock! BLAST!!!! "...are you coming to bible study now?" I was a great RA!!!
  • Standing on the toilets and singing with Ang. She was waaaaaaay better than I was but.... as long as the boys didn't hear... LOL!!
  • Hockey games at Founders. Love hockey!
  • Making mud men at night on the soccer field board after dancing in the rain then almost getting caught by administration because it was a weekend when people came to see TUFW. What? I don't see dried, bright, mud people on that purple board across the field!
  • The summer at Winchester with Debby and Christy.... no... I won't sing the song here.
  • Spring break at my house with Matty and the girls
  • Getting to go to chapel to worship with my friends 3 times a week. Wouldn't that be nice now?

Ahhhh, college. I miss you Tuff W.
