I was just reading about this amazing culinary arts program at this site, http://www.twincitiesculinary.com and it got me to thinking. One of the (many) things that made it difficult to leave the North Dallas area, was the fact that one of our high schools had some awesome magnet programs that my boys would have loved! There was a robotics program, that really they both would have enjoyed, but, they also had a culinary arts program that Shawn would have really loved!

I mean, really, how cool would it be to be in high school and have a major focus of your study be robotics? I knew some boys when I was in high school that would have so dug that!

And my sweet Shawn has been watching cooking shows since he was two years old. I am not even exaggerating! I remember that he would sit through two thirty minute shows back to back, and I was completely amazed! What two year old sits still that long, let alone for cooking shows? I just thought that was too funny!

So when we were back in Dallas, and I kept passing the high school with these great programs, I kept getting really sad. I wondered if I’d made a big mistake by moving. But then, my husband reminded me of the heavy gang activity in that school! And that really relieved me a lot! And besides, he could always go to a culinary college!
