Ava Hunt is living in her own Barbie dream house!  The 19-year-old daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt is starting her freshman year at Southern Methodist University with a dorm room full of pink and a sendoff from her mom, Tavia Hunt.  On Friday, Aug. 23, Tavia, who has been married to Clark since 1993, wrote a sweet Instagram tribute to her daughter, including photos of her experience dropping Ava off at her new home.

“Today, I left a piece of my heart at SMU. Ava Hunt, you’ve always been a mix of sunshine and hurricane – fierce, fearless, and capable of incredible things,” the caption read.

“I’m overflowing with excitement for you, even as I tuck away my tears for later. I’m wading through emotions as I pass by your now too-clean room, the house is too quiet without your laughter, and Chief and I are already missing the familiar scent of your Sol de Janeiro body spray,” Tavia’s tribute continued.

The post began with a photo of the mother-daughter duo standing in front of Ava’s side of the room, which includes a bed decorated with pink floral sheets, a monogrammed pillow, a matching bedside ottoman, and a neon sign with her name.

The college student, wearing black athleisure, proudly posed in front of the area for a solo shot that showed her vanity desk, equipped with a pink rolling chair and lighted mirror, next to a white cabinet holding a pink coffee maker.  In another photo, Tavia took a photo of her daughter with her new roommate, who had similar room decor.

She continued her message to Ava by writing, “I know you’ll return often, and that this marks a new adventure and freedom for both of us …yet, I whisper earnest prayers for your safety, wisdom, and for a tribe of new sisters who love Jesus and love you.”

The mom of three ended her tribute by sharing what excites her about the lessons Ava will “learn about God’s faithfulness in the coming months.”  “Watching you shine your light and grow into the most beautiful version of yourself makes my heart beat a little happier. You’ve worked so hard to get here,” she wrote.
