Saying Good-bye to Hannah at Grove City College....and travels beyond.....

The tradition of the August trek to western Pennsylvania continues! Four years ago we traveled to move Bethany into the dorm for her freshman year at Grove City College. Two years ago we did the same for Ben. This year--oh, how happy we are!--it was Hannah's turn. The slight modification to our tradition was that Bethany--graduated from GCC in May, now living at home and working at Right Choices of West Tennessee for the year--accompanied her sister in the move-in. (Of course she also relished the opportunity to spend some time with a certain GCC Senior man when he arrived on campus!)




Ben is currently studying at the University of Buenos Aires (well, Ben, let me know if that's not the correct name for your current school!), so actually Hannah will be the only Chapman on campus this semester. We all think she will just blossom at this wonderful college and she'll be able to establish her own identity there. And then Ben will join her in January. In the mean time Josh is keeping his eye out for Hannah and we're grateful for his attention.


Willis and I traveled to Philadelphia--via Lititz PA in both directions;)--for visits to Valley Forge, the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall. Also City Hall. And King of Prussia Mall. And Philly steak sandwiches!
Perhaps I should mention that if any reader is experiencing deja vu at this moment, please check out September 1, 2007 post. You would be right!

Hannah is going to do great at GCC. I bet she is making a way for herself independent of her siblings! She is one smart cookie.

Leaving the nest...bittersweet.

Yes she seems to have settled in quite well, it was easier than thought it would be (for dad leaving his baby) WE are very happy that she is in such a great place to grow in both her education and spiritual life!
