Wow...has it been 20 years?! I can't believe it!! I will not be at the reunion, but would love to hear from you!
I left Cola. to attend Winthrop College (yes...we are now a university) as an education major. I soon met the love of my life and we were married in 1990. Yes, I was a baby and would croak if my daughter chose to marry at 20. However, it was one of the smartest decisions in my life!
God has truly blessed my life with a wonderful family. Of course, my kids a perfect!! :-) I teach where my son goes to school, and my daughter is now a middle schooler...what?? Teenagers are so much fun!! I stayed home with them when they were little and started back teaching when my baby started school where I was still with them...the best of both worlds. My husband is an elementary principal. He is a strong Christian and has helped me to grow into the best person I could be. God's plan is awesome!!

Ok...I fell down a long flight of stairs coming out of English one day. It was totally embarrassing and my best bud Courtney never let me forget it. My shoes flew off, but I still had a tight hold of my books! It was a running joke from then on.
