WELCOME TO BYUCOUGARLADYUTE

This site is for sharing and recording the life of the "never know what will happen next" Taylor Family.

Why do we call it BYUCOUGARLADYUTE? Simple. Andy's blood runs very true blue, very BYU. Mine? Well, it runs purple. Over five years ago, we decided to go back to school. Andy to BYU and an MBA, and I went to the U for an MFA.

Mostly this blog is about our kids: Ally, Manda and Will!

Ally and Mandy

Of Inspector Morse...and Wordsworth

I have always loved a good mystery.  Ever since I discovered Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys books I have clung to every clue to figure out who had done it.  When Andy and I were first married he introduced me to Poirot and Masterpiece Mystery.  We have continued to be big fans but I am the one who stays up late curled under the blanket watching old reruns on youtube. 

My favorite currently is Inspector Lewis which is a spin-off of the Inspector Morse series.  How often does American TV use classical music or poetry in any of their series?  With Inspector Morse and now Lewis Oxford is the scene of the crime and all the suspects recite Wordsworth and Shakespeare...inlcuding Lewis' sidekick sargeant James. 

With the baby, the work hours, and the running of my children around it has been a beautiful vice.
