constant progress

That is a lot of thinking for ten years worth of life experience. You probably thought more than you could blog. At any rate, we'll miss you in Lima, but I don't have a doubt that you'll impact Lima greatly (with a "who" and definitely not a "what"). In fact, I can't imagine you going somewhere and not impacting it. I still have four coasters that I smile at whenever I see them and it makes me want to take pictures of the night sky. You were one of the few reasons I ever made a visit to the third floor in the first place and even now, x years later, I am glad for that one moment. Someone else, several someones, will feel the same way.

I'm sure of it.  

Yeah this made me cry. I miss you so much Taylor!!! You definitely make a difference everywhere you go!! I'm excited about seeing what's going to happen with you in Peru. I'm jealous they get you and we don't! That pic made me miss you even more...my kids are going to adore "uncle Taylor!" ;-)  

yeah, I can't believe you've been on your own for that long. that's quite an accomplishment.
I'm glad you are moving back to Peru. It will be good for you to be there again. Best of luck my friend.
Let's keep in touch eh?  

Good luck man in all you do. This is an awesome blog. Do your parents still live there? I wish you the best man.  

good luck man if im ever in peru ill look you up. our church does missions constantly as does my future father in-law. so i will try to talk my way into a trip to peru to see ya. take care man  

Taylor,
I have to say, for all the peeps from EC that God could send to Lima- you're the man. You have a way of making everyone glad to be around you and making everyone around you want to know God more. God rocks and he's gonna do a lot through you! Be safe! I would go nuts not seeing my family for ten years! Have fun and post lots of pics on your blog for all of us jealous north americans!

Taylor, Wow, I am sure you will be happy to be home. My husband and I are headed home to GA to live and I can relate to having questions about going back to the same old place when you are not the same person. God's blessings on you.

As for the rat tail, you have nothing on my kids here in Oklahoma. I'm talking more than a foot long tucked in the back of the shirt. Can you, as a boy, even grow hair that long in five years? That's right, that foot long tail belongs to a kindergartener!!!  

rock the rat-tail hard core.  

so the rat-tail belongs to my mohawk...and I'm proud of it. haha. I actually didn't realize how it looked with a hat on till I saw that picture...to funny.

but anywho...thank you everyone for the comments. it's nice to get feedback like that.

sometimes I quilt kinky white jogging pants  

taylor, great post! i belive that you are open to what ever God has for you where ever it is. That cant be said about many people.  

I could tell you had a mohawk rat tail, so no worries. Your cred is still in tact.

I love what you did with that picture, btw. It looks great.

You're a great guy, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. If I ever become a famous singer, or famous anything for that matter, I'm calling on you for all my design needs.  

Well I'm here...in Lima, that is... I got in this morning and it's good. I will update on stuff some other time.

I say...let the party begin and may my bosom be full yet merry with coffee.

“…and the people rejoiced…yeeeaaaahhh!!!…clap, clap…cheer…clap…cl…cl…clap.”

rodents dig dig outside going south  

glad u landed back on sa soil safe & sound! drink some extra coffee for ur girl.... well hmmm maybe I shouldn't say things like that anymore. No disrespect intended. Drink some extra coffee for me! ;-)  

I thought back over the almost 6 years that I have known you while reading this insightful post. It made me think about one thing...

"There once was a girl who met a guy, just because he got hit in the eye.

Just like a mom she took care of him, but soon they became very good friends.

T'was amazing how with one look he could read her mind, t'was as if they'd been friends for a very long time.

Then along came a formal and scared was she, unsure of who her date would be.

Of course of course there was only one, whom she could go with and have a lot of fun..."

...and then it all began. :)

You know what I think about your impact and what you will do in Peru. Just smile...even when you're scared! :)

Love,
Rose
