Taylor is graduating

I've known Taylor since she was about 6. She and her family lived across the back yard all through grade school and most of high school. She and her sisters, Ashten and Maddie and my daughter, Elizabeth all grew up together in that back yard. Endless summer days spent composing dance recitals, jumping on the trampoline, playing kickball and just being girls.

These girls are all growing up now. Many milestones have been reached. The first day of kindergarten, the first day of sixth grade, high school, drivers license's, boys, now they're going off to college. It's been amazing to watch each of them grow into beautiful young women.

If I had to describe Taylor in one sentence, it would be: She has the most infectious laugh, sparkling eyes, a kind heart and is the most warm blooded person I know! When she was a little girl and came knocking at the back door, it didn't matter if it was sunny and warm or if there was several inches of snow on the ground, she was most likely wearing flip flops and shorts! 

Truly, Taylor is an exceptional young woman who I feel blessed to know. She is going to do great things in her life... and to think I'll be able to say I knew her way back when!

Congrats Taylor!!
