A Higher Education

Taylor and her friend, Angel Reed, toured the University of North Texas in Denton on September 19, 2011.  I can't believe we are already talking about college.  Can you hear the sound of my heart breaking?  Where did the time go?  Did I really cherish every minute?  Probably not :(  But she's only a junior this year and we have time!  It's just a wake up call that she's growing up FAST and will be starting a new chapter in her life SOON!

Of course she has thrown several ideas around of what she wants to be "when she grows up."  The main one is, and I quote, "I just want to wrap the babies up and hold them."  If you were talking to me face to face I would make the motions!  So as of right now, nurse it is!


The Lord wants you to educate your mind and improve your skills and abilities. Education will help you to be an influence for good in the world. It will help you better provide for yourself, your loved ones, and those in need.  Be willing to work diligently and make sacrifices to obtain learning. Education is an investment that brings great rewards. You live in a competitive world where a good education opens the doors of opportunity that may otherwise be closed to you. Maintain an enthusiasm for learning throughout your life. Find joy in continuing to learn about yourself, other people, and the world around you. Study the words of the Lord, and continue learning about your Heavenly Father’s plan. Make seminary an important part of your total education.
Doctrine and Covenants 88:77–80

  1. How fun!! I went to school at University of North Texas and then transferred into Texas Woman's University where I graduated from. I had a blast living, working and going to school in Denton. Of course that was MANY moons ago...gosh, time flies...but I sure enjoyed going to school at both of the universities there in Denton. Plus it was nice to only have about a 2 1/2 hr drive home to East TX to see my parents.

    Good luck with all of that! I'm sure she'll make the right choice and one that mama is happy about, too. :-)

    Hope you are doing well!
