 The
Bride: Tammy grew up in Mt. Zion, near Decatur, IL. She
attended the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and graduated with
a degree in elementary education in May 1992. After substitute teaching
from home for a year, she was hired as a fourth grade teacher at Northwest
School in Lincoln, IL in 1993. While she was waiting to meet Jason,
she earned two Masters of Education degrees from UIUC. She also adopted
Max, her loyal "puppy." Tammy enjoys traveling, dancing, sewing,
cooking, computers and spending time with Jason. |
 The
Groom: Jason grew up in Harristown near Decatur, IL. He
attended the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and graduated with
a degree in civil engineering in May 1991. Then he was off to Iowa
State Unversity to earn another degree in electrical engineering.
After living in Idaho and Minnesota, some unknown force pulled him back
to Illinois to substitute teach and earn a Masters of Education from UIUC.
(Could it have been Tammy?) He now teaches high school math in Virginia,
IL. Jason enjoys baseball, math, reading, weight lifting, and spending
time with Max and Tammy. (He has even taken up dancing and some sewing!) |

 Matron
of Honor: Kristin and Tammy started teaching across the hall
from each other in the Fall of 1993. About five years ago,
Kristin and Tammy started "team teaching" fourth grade. They share
students, ideas, materials, lessons, and even lunch. It just made
sense that Kristin stand up with Tammy at her wedding. |
