Long time coming

Wow! It has been quite a while since we last posted something on here and a lot has happened!
We have had a very busy two months! Britney finished up graduate school at the end of April and graduated on May 19 from UT in Memphis with a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW). A big group of us travelled up there that Friday night for the hooding ceremony. They included Britney's parents, Mamaw and Papaw Taylor, Lana, Josh and Kelly, Jeremy and Laura, and Brad.

All smiles on graduation day!
In addition to my graduation, Josh and his fiancee, Kelly, graduated from MC Nursing School, and Paul graduated from Wesley College. On May 22, I (Britney) began the new job at Region 8 Mental Health Center (http://www.region8mhs.org). So far it has been going pretty well. I have a classroom of 11 children, ages 2-5. They are challenging to work with, but I am really enjoying the job and the creativity it allows. I have a program aide who works with me, and she is such a huge help. My main struggle right now is trying to gain control in the classroom. Once I accomplish that, I think things will go much more smoothly.
Brad finished up teaching for the year on May 26. He is currently teaching English II in summer school at CHS, as well as taking a graduate class at MC on the dramatic monologue. He's also studying for his commercial driver's license, so he can drive the school bus next year. He's having quite the busy summer!
