"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."

~Marjorie Hinckley



"Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau



"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." Lin Yutang

Awards!

This past week we have enjoyed recognizing Elise and Kylie.

Kylie recently received a second place award for her short story entry...there were over 300 entries....we were very proud of her! We enjoyed having Grandma and Grandpa Taylor with us at the awards ceremony.

Elise was recognized as a USCA Scholar this past weekend...and received, among other things, this cool tshirt :) Elise is pondering the option of attending USCA for a year or two before going to BYU. We think that would be super to have her with us a bit longer!!!....she is, after all, only going to be 16 when she graduates from high school. Also, of note, Elise has already received acceptance (without even applying, mind you) to Clemson University, so she has options :) Her 1st choice, of course, is BYU...GO COUGARS!!!
