But ... Cearra got a call last week asking her to be part of the orientation team for incoming freshman - great opportunity for her! - so she went right from her mom's to campus last Sunday. Bob, Owen and I then changed the plan to go up Monday, taking the things she had left here over the summer with us.
But ... Bob got called out of town on Sunday evening, so the plan changed once again for us to load up the swagger wagon and meet her there Thursday. And hallelujah, that plan actually worked out!
Yesterday we arrived at MBC and met Cearra outside her digs for the year ... the Scott House, a fun, funky old house which she'll share with three other women.

There's a huge, beautiful magnolia tree in the side yard - it's going to smell like heaven when it blooms!
Getting settled in the kitchen.
Cearra's spacious bedroom, awaiting Jacqueline's arrival.
Owen helping Bob assemble C's clothing rack in the room off the bedroom.
Roomie Melissa and friend Naka. Really sweet and smart young ladies!
Cearra's shoe collection. Girl after my own heart!
It was wonderfully heartwarming to get Cearra set up for the year. She was absolutely glowing with the excitement of being a junior (I know - hard to believe!), anticipation of a great year sharing a house with friends, and pride in being in a position to help her fellow students and make an impact on her school community. I think she'll have lots of exciting news to share with us this year!
