2006 in Review...


Here's a quick recap of the past 12 months in the life of the Taylors:

-January 2006. We finally finished redoing the main bath on the 2nd floor. We call it the "blue bath" for obvious reasons.

-May 2006. Jessie and Norman both graduated from University of Oklahoma with honors and as Phi Beta Kappa.

-June 2006. Jake and his fiance, Maddie, both graduated from Oldham High School in Kentucky. Jessie and Norman got married in Norman, Oklahoma. They live there now, while Norman gets his Masters in Economics from OU.

-July-August 2006. We kept working on the house, installing a vintage phone booth in the den, finishing the powder room on the first floor, and nearly finishing the dining room.

-September 2006. I started a new job as a 2nd grade classroom aide at an elementary school nearby. Joe began the final year of his MBA, with an overseas trip and graduation in Spring 2007. Jake and Maddie gave birth to Connor, our first grandbaby.

-November 2006. We spent Thanksgiving in Kentucky with Jake, Maddie, and Connor. Henry got his driver's permit!

-December 2006. As nearly "empty-nesters", we decided to give Henry a treat and spend the holidays in Orlando! (I'm dreaming of a warm Christmas!).

There will be plenty of time in 2007 to enjoy a cup of coffee at the new Starbuck's in town...
