Hello 1989 Grads!!!

I thought I'd take some time to update you about my family and me. I went to college at Inver Hills Community College and UW-River Falls. I graduated with a BS Degree in Elementary Education. While at River Falls I met my husband, Rob, who also graduated with a BS Degree in Education (Science). We married in the summer of 1996 and soon afterwards moved to cheese country: Green Bay. We both taught there, but then decided to move back to MN in 1999 to be closer to both of our family's. We decided to move to Lake City which is 15 miles southeast of Red Wing. Rob currently teaches middle school science in Lake City. I taught in Rochester for one year, but then was hired in Lake City at the elementary school. I decided to hang up my teaching hat and just be "Mom" for awhile. I am currently on a 3-year leave from my job. My days are filled, though, taking care of my three sons: Ben is 6, Sam is 4, and Tom is 1 1/2. I also do daycare in my home for other children as well. Life is never boring at my house!! If it ever does get boring, I savor those few moments because I know craziness can be around any corner.

Chris graduated from UW-River Falls in 1993 with a BA in blah blah blah. Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?

How did Chris ever find a woman? Well, after many years of thinking I would be alone forever, Al Gore invented this thing called the Interweb. Yes, I met my wife Sally on the Internet in '98, on one of those dating services where the men outnumber the women 20 to 1. Fortunately, I could spell and used punctuation, so she picked me. After we both surmised neither of us was a 57-year-old male living in a basement surrounded by empty pizza boxes, we quickly realized we were made for each other. We were married in '99 and had two beautiful girls a few years later. Faith is 5 and Annelise is 2.

I have been employed by Marsden Building Maintenance for 17 years. My current title is Assistant Operations Manager. It is not exactly what I would call fulfilling or lucrative, and am currently working on blowing this pop stand. On the bright side, I come into contact with a wide variety of interesting people from many cultures. Did you know that you cannot communicate with foreigners simply by speaking English loudly? Yeah, that surprised me too.

Here are a few things about me that might shock you.
1) I cannot beat my daughter at Chutes 'n' Ladders. I've given nary a thought to the glory days when I was Champion for almost 20 years. Then you people started throwing e-mails around and the memories came flooding back. There are a few haters up in here who shall remain nameless and who want to call my legacy into question, and I figured I better brush up on my skills. Unfortunately, just like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, I would get oh so close to the finish and hit the dreaded #87 and come crashing down to #24. Cursed cookie jar!
2) The guy who was once obsessed with really naughty heavy metal groups like Slayer and Megadeth now leads the Middle School youth group at his church--not WELS and *gasp* not even Lutheran. We are with the Covenant denomination, which is like Lutheran, but more funky like Baptists.

That's all I can think of for now.

I still love photography (sorry to drag out the past with some of the pic's on the website, too bad! I'm still looking for pics from st croix, so I'll see what I can come up with keep checking the website for updates, good job Katie.) I keep myself busy with my wife & daughters busy schedule and mine also.
