After many, many years of enriching the lives of our young (or not so young) my mom has retired from teaching. She worked in the high school setting for a while, but spent the majority of her career at Ridgewater College in the Administrative Support area. She started working part time for Ridgewater (or Hutchinson Technical College as it was known back then) in 1981, but became a full-time regular faculty member in 1987. That's a LONG time to be teaching!! Congrats mom on a well deserved retirement!!! Now, what are you doing tomorrow - can you babysit?!?!?!

We surprised her at her ceremony - she knew I was coming, but didn't know Alissa and two of her friends were also coming! So fun!
Following there ceremony we went to Axel's in Chanhassen for a celebratory dinner - and cake! We surprised her again and a few more guests joined us for dinner.
