During and between sessions of conference, I spread my stuff out all over the table and worked on the Teacher Appreciation Dinner invitations. My job this year was making the invitations. The theme is "You are the Apple of my Eye!" All the kids at church invite their school teachers to a nice program and dinner to honor them. It is always wonderful and the teachers love it. Didn't the invitations turn out cute ?!? There were 100 of them.
Taylor's last email said he was flying out on the ninth of April to France. Well, I didn't schedule to work that day so I wouldn't miss his call. I did work today but had my planning period from 9:50-10:50. I decided to run home and put some clothes in the dryer, etc. The MINUTE I walked in the door the phone rang with a Salt Lake City number and an automated thing asked me if I would accept a collect call. I pressed one to accept and got disconnected. I tried two or three times to call the number back. Finally Taylor answered! He said, "I realized after I sent that last email that I told you the wrong date!" Somebody was definitely looking out for me and letting me get that phone call. Taylor sounds great. We talked about 20 minutes and he had to board the plane to Atlanta. About 3:30 he called back from the Atlanta airport. It was just in time to talk to Whitney and Evan. Brad was able to call him back on the airport pay phone and chat for a little while. He hung up when he had to board the plane for Paris! He is excited and upbeat. Hope to hear from him soon.......

I can't imagine if you hadn't gone home and might have missed his call?? I would've been crushed! Good luck to Taylor! :)
I am so happy for you that you were able to go home and receive Taylor's phone call.
And it's so great that his next call was when the other kids were home from school.
