My parents are growing up!  *sniff sniff*

You may remember my dad’s retirement pictures last year.  You can view them here: Dad’s Retirement.  He retired from the Beaumont Fire Department after 35 years of service!  Now it’s my mom’s turn!  Straight out of college she got her first teaching job and has been there ever since.  33 years later she is moving on to a new role, grandmaw!  No not from us, from my sister.  Baby Hope will be the first grand baby and she will be spoiled rotten!

My mom has touched so many lives though out her years of teaching.  I know her students still remember her because she is one of those teachers you just don’t forget about.  I know she was always my best teacher (even though I never actually had her in a classroom).  She taught me everything I know and is the reason I am who I am today.  We love you MOM!  ENJOY IT!!

A few favorites from my dad’s session last year:

Mom decided since she spent 33 years at Oak Forest, she better get some pictures of it!  So that’s what we did!  We even played on the playground a bit too.  🙂
