Catching Up....
OK. I've tried to figure out how to write a paragraph to catch ya'll up on the life of George Taylor. In a couple of words: I can't. So, let's just start where we are now. The past will come up as time goes on; then I can explain.
I am re-married to the Phabulous Phyllis Cupp Taylor. (Yes, I spelled Phabulous right!!!) We wed 2/14/2000. (All you ladies can saw "Awwww. Valentine's Day!") This was shot shortly after the wedding on Jacksonville Beach, FL.
Phyllis is a life-long Chattanoogan. And up until last January, that is where we made our home. Now, we are in Long Beach, MS. (Long story, that one. I won't go into it now.)
Phyllis has a daughter named Jennifer. She and her husband (Nathan) live outside Nashville - raising a beautiful baby girl, Laurel. She'll be 2 in March. Nathan works as a designer for a company which makes play grounds. Jennifer takes care of the baby at home.
You all may be wondering about the miracle child, Joel. No longer a child - it's hard to believe that he's 26 - he married a wonderful young lady last May named Melissa. They met at church in Chattanooga. Now they are living in our house in Chattanooga. Joel is working for the post office in the short term. (The center where he is working is closing sometime this spring.) Melissa is in school for massage therapy and working full time as a receptionist for an attorney. Both of them are ministering the to youth at the Brainerd Church of Christ. (This is what Joel really wants to do with his life. So, if anyone knows of a youth ministry position open... )
I am working for the IRS - yes, that's the only IRS. I've been there for over 5 years. I started out in collection; now I'm working with taxpayers at a walk-in center in Gulfport, MS. Lot's of people contact; same set of problems over and over and over. I can't pay, etc.
Phyllis is working in the front office of an optometrist. Stays busy.
Together, we are teaching the teens (all 7 of them) at Gulfport Church of Christ. Great group of younger kids. But, they have a lot to learn.
Ok, that's the beginning. Look forward to hearing from ya'll!
George & Phyllis

George, glad you got a chance to get some info and pics up. Hope all is well in Longbeach. Have you moved to your own apartment now?
Hi George & Phyllis,
Nice to catch up . . . congratulations to you both!! Wow, it's really funny - you know your own kids are grown, but you don't really get it that other people's kids that you haven't seen have grown up, as well. It really makes you feel old, doesn't it?!
As you see in previous pictures, we are first time grandparents and quite thrilled about it!! There are at least a few benefits to getting older!
Thanks for sharing your news with us.

Dan, Yes, we are in our own place now. Took care of that within the first week back in town. I went over to the house last week-end. Almost empty except for Dad's shop. My brother & I are taking care of that next weekend.
George
Karen, Congrats on the grandkid! They are FUN!
George
