It was surreal to be back at CNC, well now its CNU with our oldest daughter Breanna. Many know our story but here is quick background. Billy and I went to Carson Newman with Breanna when she was about 9months old. Billy and I were enrolled full time at CN. Breanna ran around this campus and rode her barbie jeep all around and waved to all the students. Billy and I planned our classes around parenting a small child and Breanna didn't lack for attention as she was known on campus and participated in college life at an early age.
Breanna is now starting the process of making decisions on "What's next?" after High School, so it was a great start with a tour our old stomping grounds from a different vantage point. I must say, we were very proud Alumni as we listened and learned the impact CN students are making in the community and around the world during and after the college years.

For Breanna, we will continue to visit a few more schools and she will be taking the SAT's in March.
Most importantly we are praying she will seek the Lord's direction and stand firm with the confidence of where He is leading her."For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I am thankful that there is rest and reassurance in this passage in Jeremiah. As this culture inundates High School kids with the endless questions of "what do you want to be?" "Where are you going to go?", "When, Where, How, What and Why" I know that she has the Holy Spirit to guide her and He has created her uniquely with gifts and talents. No matter "When, Where, How, What" she does after High School her purpose still remains the same as a follower of Christ. Matthew 28:19
The Historical Swann Hall, just beautiful
Burnett Residence Hall, we used to visit our good friend Mindy here quite often when Breanna was younger.
The sky was beautiful, here is a picture of the football field.
We caught up with some sweet friends! Total bonus for the trip. Good times talking about all our fun times we had at CN.
Fun times hanging out and catching up. It's great to see some of them chasing after kids now.
So how do you cap off a great weekend of seeing friends, visiting our Alma Mater and spending time with family?
Welp, just a little accident. The van didn't stand a chance with Billy's dad's brick mailbox. Oh boy, there's never a good time for a deductible payment.
It was a a great trip and we are looking forward to more college visits to come.
