Our Alma Mater Ever Be
This past weekend was our annual Homecoming celebration at Lambuth. As you all know we hold Lambuth very near to our hearts, as it was the place Matt and I met, got engaged and got married. We even named our daughter Wesley because of Lambuth (John WESLEY = founder of Methodism. Get it now?!?)
This year’s celebration was bittersweet because LU is going through a very rough time financially. We have always been a small school, which is part of it’s draw and charm, but it doesn’t make paying bills and keeping up with the Jones’ (or Unions) easy. We know Lambuth will survive, but it was hard to see how much things had changed due to lack of funds. Many professors have had to move on, and programs such as cheerleading and dance team have been cut.
If you are an alumni, please send Lambuth your financial support, every dollar counts. If you are not, you can still contribute if you like, but also keep Lambuth in your thoughts. It is an amazing place that touches many lives. It is the reason I have my amazing husband and beautiful daughter. Speaking of…. here is a shot of her at the football tailgate this weekend. Yes, that dress IS homemade!
No matter the difficulties we go through, I will always be proud to be a Lambuth graduate. And I am so thankful for the dear friends I met there, who are still such a huge part of my life! It was great to see you all. We’ll do it again next year!
