It is so wonderful to hear from old classmates and read about their families! I can't wait to see everyone Sept. 6th. We had a great time at our 10 year reunion so I know this is going to be great! What an awesome place to have it, Classic on Noble is a beautiful place with delicious food.
Well, I guess I can tell you a little about my life over the past 20 years. It has truly been a roller coaster ride. I married Danny Vaughn, a 1985 Saks graduate, soon after high school while I finished my final years at JSU. We lived in Ohatchee and eventually built a house there in 1994. I graduated in 2 years & 10 months from JSU with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education & Elementary Education. I began teaching at Oxford Elementary School in 1990 and I have been teaching there now for 17 years. I graduated from JSU in 1996 with my masters in Early Childhood. I have spent all of my classroom time in kindergarten! My career is very stressful but very rewarding at the same time. I feel blessed to have been apart of so many children's lives. It has been wonderful having my friends' children. I had Kennedy Holcomb (Dennis & Dawn's middle child), Cole & Keaton Hazel (Tara Waddell's children) and I have Brinley Parke this year, (Aaron Parke's daughter) That has been a lot fun! Danny and I had 3 children together. Jessica is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade at Oxford High School. This will be her second year as an OHS Majorette. She will be driving in June so watch out! Aaron is our middle child. He is 12 years old and in the 6th grade at C.E. Hanna Elementary. Peyton is my baby. He is 8 years old and in the 2nd grade at OES. Both boys play basketball and baseball. We spend a lot of time at the ballpark. Danny and I purchased a daycare in 1997, Lad & Lassie Daycare in Saks. We owned it for about 10 years before we sold it. That was a big challenge in our life. We were both trying to work full time jobs and raise 3 children. That eventually got the best of us and we divorced in 2004. He is happily married to Dawne Martin, a 1987 Saks graduate and they have one child together. They have 6 children total under the age of 14! :) I remarried in 2005 to Glenn Magee of Ashland. We live in Oxford so now I am only about 5 minutes away from my school, instead of 30 minutes away. :) Glenn has 2 grown sons, Chad who is 33 years old and Caleb who is 19 years old. Chad is getting married on May 24th so we will soon have a new daughter-in-law, Sharon Magee. He and Sharon live in Atlanta. I love both boys like they belong to me. Caleb lives with us full time and goes to school at Gadsden State. He works at Logan's at night. It is an adventure trying to raise 4 children and keep up with all of their activities. I am very proud of all of their accomplishments. Glenn and I both love music and we attend a lot of concerts! He is a huge parrothead!!!!!!!! We also love the beach and we try to go at least 3 times a year. We hope to eventually retire there. I enjoy scrapbooking and gardening when I get a chance. I would love to hear from my friends! Listed below is my email address and my myspace. See you soon! Tammy
