Wow, this update is over a year late as far as the reunion goes, or should I say went. :) Oh well though. It's because I just noticed people were doing this...

Ok, the past 10 (now 11) years for me...

After graduation, I completed 5 semesters in college, 2 at USU, and 3 at WSU. I started to feel a bit trunky and needed a change. So I moved to St. George. I was only there for a couple months when I moved back up to Logan (not attending USU) By that time I had been working for Lowe's for over a year. I worked up there for about 8 months, and moved back to Layton, continuing my dead-end job at Lowe's.

I hadn't been playing soccer for a while until I ran into an old Lancer teammate and started up again. Man I missed it. I still try to play whenever I can.

Continuing on...After working for Lowe's for about 5 1/2 years, I needed to make some changes and big decision. It turned out that I enlisted in the Army!



The Army took me to South Carolina for Basic Training, Arizona for my job training in Military Intelligence, Texas for my first duty station, back to Arizona for more specialized training, back to Texas, and then off to Iraq for 15 months of deployment. I was still deployed during the reunion, hence why I wasn't there. I was really quite bummed that I couldn't attend, honestly. My specific job in the Army was working with the Shadow UAV (drone) as a Technician and Crew Chief. After Iraq, it was back to Texas, where I am right now.

I'm currently getting ready to return to Utah in a couple weeks, as my active duty enlistment is up. I am most likely going to join the Utah Army National Guard and potentially go to Officer Candidate School when I get back, and then hopefully become a Military Intelligence Officer. I wasn't quite ready to take off the uniform, but I wanted to be back to Utah, so that's the reason for the Guard.



Oh, there was also a 2 1/2 year marriage in there, to another soldier. But when you spend most of your marriage apart due to military assignments, it doesn't make things easy. So, by the time I'm back to Utah, I will be single again.

I'm planning on going back to Weber State full time to complete a Criminal Justice degree and attend the Police Academy.

I love the Army, and I love my country. And I'm proud to have been able to serve it!

I've had some interesting moments since graduation, most of which happened in the Army, and most of which I will never regret. I still talk to some of my best friends from high school, and love them to death! I'm excited for my fresh start back in Utah and can't wait to see where it leads me.

(Wow, that was long, sorry! P.S. - I'm on Facebook if you care to contact me.)

Well…. Don’t really know if anyone thinks of me and wonders what is going on in my life. I still keep in contact with the most of my friends from high school. It’s nice to read about everyone’s life on here and see all the cute kids that have been brought to the world!!
I got married right out of high school and had a cute little girl… Aubrey. She is my little mini-me! She has my attitude and everything, including my “BUG EYES”.
I got divorced at 21 and got re-married to Omar Trahan (another 98 graduate)… I know, who would have thought? I always had such a crush on him in Jr High and High School, and I’m glad we met up again. I love him so much, and life with him is never boring!
Together we have a son, Kelson, who is 3. He was 10 pounds when he was born and is still HUGE! Everyone thinks he is 5 or 6. He is Hell on wheels, but such a lover at the same time. He will be a great football player someday. We also just had a daughter, Sicily Enna, who was born Sept 10th. (Which is why I didn’t go to the reunion! I was too pregnant!) Sicily is so perfect, and completes our little family. Omar also has a daughter, Kyara, who is 9! She is such a beautiful little girl, and very tall. So together we have 4 kids and a lot of fun!






Life is pretty good. I still do Property Management as I have since I graduated. I am STILL an aspiring plus size model and have made it to the cover of plus sized magazine so far, and hope to accomplish a lot more! Omar works and still does music (rapping). He actually is very talented and I’m hoping by our 20 year reunion he will make it big! Time is definitely ticking and our youth is passing us by, so we need to get our butts in gear! That’s about it....

My loveable wife and I had planned on attending the reunion, but a trip to New Port Beach with her family got in the way. I met my wonderful wife Sara in 2006 at a small party and we fell madly in love and dated for a year and a half before we decided to get married. We got married on March 17, 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple and are currently living in Salt Lake City.

Sara is an amazing hair stylist and wife! I couldn't have done better. These past years have been both extremely busy and exciting. I went a year at the University of Utah and then finished up my masters degree in Structural Engineering at Utah State. While I was in school I continued playing soccer. I played for both U of U and Utah State. After college I played one year with the Salt Rats, who used to be Salt Lake's semi-pro soccer team. But my soccer days are long gone.

I am currently working at a structural engineering firm called BHB Engineers, and really enjoy it. I do the structural design on commercial buildings. In 2006, bought a 2300 sqft condo during the houseing boom and lost it to forclosure....ha ha just kidding! Sara and I have remodeled and updated it and it is in a nice area on the east side of Murray. We lived in it until September 2008 and have rented it out as an investment property. We now live in a 1 bed apartment a block away. Its small but cozy. Sara is from Las Vegas, so the plan is to eventually move to Las Vegas so i can begin my new career as a Gambler. We currently do not have any kids and I am just enjoying my life with my beautiful wife who is crazy in love with me!

OK i have included an extra picture just for fun! See if you can spot the Layton High Alumni in this picture. (Its the picture with the guys in the tuxes there are 4 alumni total, including myself)

I wish I could have come to the reunion. I imagine it would have been surreal seeing everyone again. During the last few months I've often found myself thinking back to high school and my friends there. It's bittersweet that we grow older and move on. More sweet than bitter, though, I am glad to say.

I worked as an EFY counselor after my mission in Taiwan and have been married now for nearly six years--how did that happen? My wife is still one of the most intelligent (and good-looking) people I have ever met. We have two boys--Jack was born when I was a Jr. at BYU and Ricky was born during my second year of law school at the U of Wisconsin--my cheesehead wife's home state. After graduation we decided to stay in the area. Wisconsin is a beautiful state (just ask Tyler King who is here) and although it takes me an hour and a half to get to and from work in Chicago, I love living in a place that reminds me of Layton.

I work for an accounting firm, Ernst & Young, doing Customs (think importation) and International Trade Consulting. It sounds more exciting than it is--days on end in front of a computer screen. I do enjoy it, though, as I get to practice Chinese with counterparts in Shanghai and work in a cool building (the Sears Tower) in a great city.


Also, don't be fooled, Jace Fullmer LOVED every second he spent at BYU. It's time that he embrace his nerd status with the rest of us. :-)

Hey everyone!! I was not able to attend the reunion. Hope it was a blast!
Let's see....hmmm....where to start. Well I graduated and moved out to California where I attend a local college and worked for two years. Moved back and decided to go on a mission. I went to Dallas, TX and it was awesome! Got back worked some more and went to Weber State U majoring in Computer Science. Decided that was not for me and went to Geroge Wythe College majoring in Liberal Arts, which was an incredible experience and learned a lot about government, history and economics. I also attended the Shakespearean Festival every summer for the next two years. I developed a great enjoyment and understanding of Shakespeare and highly recommend it to anyone. Only you start talking old english if you over do it.
I moved to Pheonix AZ for a Summer Job and miss the weather and nightlife. They have some of the best Swing Clubs and it's HOT!!! But it's a dry heat. However; the season ended and I had to come back home. I am currently attempted to get a Family owned business off the ground and get into Real Estate Investing. I own a Mini-Donut Shop in the Layton Hills Mall. If you're in the area come on by. I'm much more friendly and outgoing than I was in Highschool. What better way to catch up than while eating donuts.

Well, I'm still single. Just haven't found the right girl yet. Right now I'm just working hard and spoil my neice and nephew, which is a lot of fun. I'm probably leaving something out, yet that's all I can recall at the moment. If you want to contact me heres my email: sbeck2323@gmail.com. See ya next decade!!

Jace Fullmer

Since it's the night before the big reunion, I have decided it's now or never to write my update. Unfortunately, I am attending med-school in Missouri and will be unable to make it. I hope everyone has a good time. To start off, about a year after high school I was in a mountain bike accident and was life-flighted from Moab to McKay-Dee. My injuries were life-threatening... okay that's a lie. I sustained just a broken arm. The whole clause of "life or limb" enabled me for a free helicopter ride back home. I then went on to serve an LDS mission in Moscow, Russia. Loved it. After returning home, I bounced around three colleges (Utah State, U of U, and Weber). Soon after, I decided it was time to find a wife, so I headed off to BYU Provo. I completed a major in Russian and successfully graduated from BYU single. BYU reluctantly refunded me my full tuition for never finding "the one" while attending their sacred campus. During this time I was trying to decide on a career path in politics/pr or medicine. I had many adventures in political endeavors. I was involved in campaigns, clubs, PACS, positions in the RNC and Pres. Inauguration, etc. My highlight was my position in the 2004 G-8 Summit in Georgia. There I was the head Russian Liaison/translator for the Russian delegation. During my duration, I was able to participate and sit in meetings with all the world leaders of the G-8. The cake was when Putin asked me if I was from Latvia based on my accent. His smiled turned to a frown when I told him a was a red-neck American.

I ended up deciding to pursue a path in medicine since I was tired of kissing someone else's rear (politics). While waiting for matriculation into graduate school, I met Heather in SLC (I actually met her 1 yr prior) and became madly obsessed with downhill mountainbike racing. Back to my wife- we started off as cuddle buddies. Then soon after the cuddle buddies turned into cuddle buddies with benefits. Sweet. Next we were taking each other to family events and Sunday dinners. After six months of this we decided it was best to break up since I was getting old and needed to get back to that "wife hunt". After missing her like crazy we got married six months later inthe SL Temple in July of 2007. Awesome. Nowadays, I spend much of my time working on a blog with a buddy. Its about free market healthcare. You are welcome to come flame it. Anyway, thanks to those who posted already. I've enjoyed the reads!

Better late than never I guess! It's been fun to see what everyone has been up too. Lots has happened for me in 10 years. I could go on and on, but I won't since I waited till the last minute and not many people will read this anyway. I do have the cliche' myspace page, instead of a blog, and it has everything I have been up to. I live in LA now but happen to be in town the weekend of the reunion so I look forward to seeing everyone! www.myspace.com/raeannchristensen, or you can email me raeannc@me.com

Chad Peterson

It’s official… about a month ago I found a grey hair, and this year is the 10th since High School… I AM OLD…

Anyway, so after High School, I attended Weber State University for a Semester and then served a mission in the Philippines. I left at 210 pounds and returned at 180 pounds. Gotta love the Philippines.

Anywho, upon returning, I re-entered school without a clue what I wanted to do. So I took classes randomly in order to perhaps get some sort of idea what I wanted to do. I settled on Hospital Administration and am a year off of completion.

In 2004, I (meaning my Mom made me) tried out for the singing group 'Choralaires' at the Ogden LDS Institute. She told me if I didn't use my talent and try, I would be kicked out of the house... My Mom is a smart woman... I made the group and within 5 months I was dating the future Mrs. Peterson.

Megan and I were married in November that year in the Bountiful Temple. We currently have 2 boys. Tucker is 2, and Aidan is 1. They are a handful, but we are as happy as we can be as parents. We currently reside in Clearfield, UT. Oh, and since we make really cute (yes I said cute) kids, we decided to add one more in February. Cool, Huh?

I am currently employed with United Healthgroup in West Valley, Ut as a Technical Analyst. I manage the software that most doctors offices use to bill their claims. When I finish school, I am in a prime location to move on to Hospital Administration.

Megan is a graduate of Roy High School, and is a very accomplished singer. She has produced her own CD, so keep an ear to the airwaves!!! Also, she is really pretty.

Hey everyone! Love reading the updates. I don't want to post my personal info in cyberspace, but if you want to catch up, email me at 4hoosiers@gmail.com and I'll send you an invite to my blog. I'm sad to miss the reunion, but I live in the midwest and can't make the trip.

Alesa Shelby

I insist that I have a poor concept of time so it has been fun to think about what has happened in my life over the last ten years. After Graduation I went to Weber state for a year then transferred up to Utah State where I graduated in Family Consumer Science in 2003. I had such a great time in college.

I have always loved traveling and have been on some great trips in the last 10 years including multiple Hawaiian vacations, Cancun, An amazing European adventure, and lots of trips to Disneyland. I am looking forward to more fun trips.

My 'career' path has been a rocky one but I have learned so many things, about myself especially. I really feel that I am a better, stronger person now. That being said, I have worked for lots of different places highlights including The Living Planet Aquarium, and SLCC. Now I work as a Drafter at a Civil Engineering company.


The highlights of my life are my nephews (4) and niece! I AM super aunt.

I'm excited for the reunion, but a bit nervous because my memory sometimes is like my concept of time-poor! I think though it is good to see friends that knew you before you knew yourself and develop friendships that you didn't know you had.

I, too, cannot believe that 10 years can pass by so fast! After high school I attended Rick's College for two years and had so much fun, I loved it up there. In June 2000, I married Zariph Price (LHS class of '96), in the Salt Lake Temple. We bought a house in South Ogden right after we got married and still live here. We've been able to fix it up a lot and like to remodel when we can. After getting married I attended Weber State for three years and got my Bachelor's in Elementary Education. While going to school I worked in the office at the Smith's Dairy in Layton. I could sample the icecream whenever I wanted, what a great job! Then I began teaching school at Plain City Elementary. I taught 5th grade for three years, then switched last year to 3rd grade. I loved it! Then last April, we found out that we were chosen to adopt our little boy, Boston, who came in May.
We were thrilled and so excited to finally be parents. Now, I get to stay home with Boston. He's so fun. Zariph and I love to travel, we've been to all our favorite US vacation spots and are now looking at taking a cruise in Europe.If you want to keep in contact, I have a blog: www.zariphlisa@blogspot.com

Hello everyone! It’s great to see what my fellow Lancer’s have been doing the last ten years. I thought I would finally get on board and put my two cents in. As said below, time flies when you’re having fun. It sure has flown by!

I joined the Navy the summer we graduated and have been in the military ever since. I went to boot camp in Great Lakes, IL. Then on to Operations Specialist school in Virginia Beach, VA. From there I received orders to a ship out of sunny San Diego, CA. I was on the ship for about three years and did one deployment to the Caribbean. I got to see many cool places and had a blast. After that I transferred to the Special Boat Unit still out of SD, CA. I was there for about three more years. I did two deployments with them to more hostile parts of the world. I was still not where I wanted to be. For those of you who knew me in high school, you probably knew where I was trying to get. After the Boat Unit tour, I went to Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training (BUD/s). The greatest challenge of my life! It was awesome! Upon completion of SEAL training I received orders to SEAL Team Eight back in Virginia Beach, VA. I have done a couple of deployments with the SEAL Teams to the most hostile parts of the world. Always exciting, always a challenge!

I currently reside in Virginia Beach, VA. I have never been married, and do not have any children yet. I live with my girlfriend Lynlee, who is awesome, so we’ll see what the future brings. I’ve had an awesome last ten years! I got to see some cool parts of the world and live some cool places. I would love to come to the reunion. Unfortunately, I’m still in Iraq for the next few months. Hope you all have a great time! Maybe I’ll see you at the next one. If you ever want to get in contact with me: bdillon250@hotmail.com

Michelle (Pulley) Bodily

So I am really cutting it close to getting this on here before the reunion, but atleast I am doing it. After high school I went to Salt Lake Community College to play soccer for two years. Then I adventured up to Utah State University with everyone else and after being there for a semester I decided I wanted to go on a mission...but after receiving my call to Poland I met Travis and he proposed 2 weeks before I was leaving. With that said we have now been married for 7 years and he owes me a trip to Poland! I graduated from USU with a degree in Secondary Education with a major in Physical Education and a minor in Psychology. After that we moved to Indiana where Travis earned his Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. We now live in East Peoria, Illinois (extremely flat and humid) where Travis works for Caterpillar and I am a P.E. Teacher at Pekin Community High School. The best part of my job is being the Head Coach for boy's soccer and the assistant coach for girl's soccer.

We do not have children yet, we have run into a few road blocks in moving on to that part of our life. We are currently trying to adopt and we hope that day comes soon. I will not be able to be at the reunion because school and soccer have already started out here in the midwest. I hope everyone has a great time at the reunion and I really wish I could be there.

Jolene (LeLaCheur) Avalos

How fun is this catching up on the class of 98!!!!! It sure has been a crazy 10 years:) Well after highschool I moved to Cedar City and completed my first year of college there and had a total blast. I met so many awesome friends there, but was unable to return due to health problems. I had major back issues for the next 3 years. I continued my education at Weber State and worked fulltime at Petsmart. Well.....thats where my college education ended and my career began with Petsmart. I quickly moved up into management and was able to travel the US for 3 years managing the projects of opening up new stores and remodeling old stores. It was the best experience I could have ever had:) That's where I met my husband Oscar Avalos. We dated for 4 years and were engaged for 2 years and we just married in February. We had the most beautiful wedding in El Paso, Texas. We built a house in Buckeye, Arizona and have lived here for the past 2 years. My husband works at the Petsmart corporate office and I am a Store Manager. I could not ask for a better career than this! I love managing and training employees and being around pets everyday. Oh...I almost forget YES I have pets. I have 2 cockerspaniels(Zack and Bailey) and have 5 cats(all the homeless cats seem to find me somehow-which I am trying to adopt out. Any takers?) I am enjoying life to the fullest and hope that we will be able start a family very soon:) I will not be able to attend the reunion but, wish everyone well. I really wish I could attend.

Nick Bailey

So after high school I served a Spanish speaking mission in Hartford, Connecticut. When I came home, I went to Weber State for a year and met my wife at Macey's (where it felt like I worked forever). We dated for about a year and then got married in the Manti Temple in May of 2002. I then transferred to BYU where I got a bachelor's degree in Political Science. After undergrad, I took a year off and then decided to go to grad school, so we packed up and headed for Upstate New York and the Maxwell School at Syracuse University for a Master's in Public Administration. We were only going to be there for a year, but we loved it so much that I added an MA in Economics and we stayed another year. About three months ago a professor I was research assistant for at BYU offered me my dream job as a Project Manager on a foreign aid transparency project funded by the B&M Gates Foundation, so here we are back in Utah. Along the way, we picked up a few little boys. Bryan is four and has his daddy's personality (always focused on one thing, FUN), Tyler is two and loves Elmo, and Kyle is six months and will be groomed as a linebacker despite his mother's protests. We're planning to see everyone at the picnic on Saturday!

Ticket up for grabs!

Katie (Barlow) Kindred bought a ticket for her husband and he can't come. If anyone is interested in purchasing the ticket please send her an e-mail: katiekindred@yahoo.com.

Erin (Gray) Love

WOW ten years came fast!!! I’m with Kim on not wanting to post anything because my life isn’t nearly as exciting as the rest of yours. My goal is to have something really cool to brag about by the time the 20 year reunion comes around. So after high school I went to night school at Weber state while working as a dental assistant and realized that I was too dumb for college. So I went to cosmetology school and graduated two yrs later. And worked at blue sisters salon. Which is the perfect job for me. I Love to chit chat but should of got a psychology degree to go with it since some days fells like you’re a therapist instead of a hair dresser. Camille (Love)Nichols set me up on a blind date with her hot older brother and it went surprisingly well. We were inseparable and married about 10months later, In November 2000 in the salt lake Temple.

About a year into our marriage we found out that we couldn’t have kids which sucks, but we had about 3 ˝ years of fun together doing all sorts of stuff and going everywhere. Than we decided that we needed a little more excitement in our lives and decided to put our papers in to adopt. We got the exciting news that we were getting a little boy and Dawson came in January of 2004. He is hell on wheels but tons of fun. Dawson is now 4 ˝ years old and all boy. He loves to play sports, ride his bike, shoot his bow, go boating and play in the mud. He is a mini image of his dad. Anything his dad does he does.

Then 2 ˝ years later we found out that we were getting a little girl. Hallie came in July of 2006, she is sassy and sweet. Hallie just turned 2 and is a girlie girl. She loves her babies and giving them rides in their stroller. She is good at teasing her older brother too. She has her dad wrapped around her finger and has the best set of lungs you ever heard. She figures she can do anything her brother does and will one day give me a heart attack.

Life is so much fun with the two of them. Crazy but fun. My husband is an owner of a foundation company. And I am still doing hair but only 1 day a week. (I know it’s exciting.) we built a house in Syracuse and then built again and moved to West haven (b.f.e. it feels like.) but it’s nice. Life is good. We are pretty boring. But I like it. My hubby is a hottie and keeps life fun and interesting. I am so in love with my kids and never knew how fun they could be. I love being a mom and feel so lucky to have such a great family. It is so fun reading about everyone and where they are and what they are doing. I was going to come to the reunion but my sweet hubby decided that killing an elk is more important.(sucker he owes me) I can’t go Stagg!! So I have 2 tickets if anyone wants them. One day I will set up a blog when I figure out how to work the stinking computer. My e- mail is erjlove@gmail.com. I wish you all the best and good luck with life. Love ya

Kim (Morrill) Kapcsos

I really didn't want to post anything on here after reading about all the adventures and amazing jobs/lives that you all drown in! BUT...if Lichelle won't quit pestering the ---- out of me, I guess this is the only way to shut her up! (just jokes Lichelle)

So after high school I went to Ricks College on a basketball scholarship for two years. Hated the molly mormon lifestyle, so I moved to Iowa and played ball at a private school for two more years and had a blast. I got a teaching degree in elementary and special ed., moved back to Utah, and taught at Central Davis Jr. for two years, teaching the learning disabled/PUNKS. I met my husband, Steve, during that time through some friends and we dated for almost two years (long distantly). So, after millions of emails, phone conversations, and monthly visits, we decided that we might like each other and got hitched in April of 2006.

We moved to Alberta, Canada, because he wears the pants...got pregnant three weeks after marriage (total ooops)...moved back to Utah after our daughter, Maddie Layne was born (since health care was free).. and a year after that, Steve got a bug to be back in Canada and here we are! He is working in Edmonton at the moment doing a job until October and then we are moving back to God's country! How about he makes up his mind? We haven't traveled the world, don't work amazing jobs, don't even own a friggin dog and are about the lamest people that you might run into (maybe white trash would be suitable), but life is good! We won't be at the reunion (hold back the tears everyone), but I hope you guys have a great time!

John G. Stevens

Wow, it has been really fun to go through and see how everyone has changed and grown in the last 10 years!

To let everyone know what I have been up to I guess we could start right after graduation:

My family moved back to Germany (yes that is where we lived before we moved to Layton). It was a nice little town called Schonenberg-Kubelberg. Famous for their outdoor market! Or so the sign said. From there I went on to serve in the Romania,Bucharesti mission. While there I was able to go home for a month to visit some doctors in Germany, and serve for a couple months in Moldova. (don’t worry, most people don’t know where Moldova is. It’s a small country to the right of Romania.)

After two years I was able to return to my home in Germany for a relaxing one day, then my dad and I flew out to Utah together to get set up for college. I spent the next few years going into International Business at UVSC.

While there I met Mindy McClure, who at this moment is making fun of the music that is playing on the LHS blog website. jstevens@stevensandshumway.com

We were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple and since then have had two beautiful children. Taylor McKay Stevens age 4, and Sicily Ruby Stevens 3 months. They are the absolute light of my life.

Now the boring part. After being married for a while I decided to start a Mortgage company, Stevens & Shumway ( I just merged with another company, so we are now able to do mortgages nationwide), and since then I also have an investment company, JGSI INC., and most recently have started a Hard Money Company, Charte Financial Group.

I sit on the Board of Directors for the Utah Association of Mortgage Brokers, and am the President Elect for the Association. I am also the Utah Delegate to the National Association of Mortgage Brokers.

And the most exciting of all, I am the 11 year old Scout Leader out here in Pleasant Grove! They finally put me in a position where I can go camping all I want and they act like I am doing them a favor by being the leader!All in all my life has been very exciting, I have a wonderful wife, excellent children, and I love what I do for work.I look forward to seeing everyone at the Reunion. It will be fun to catch up with everyone.

Neleh (Dennis) Nielson

Happy 10 years!! Life happens fast!!! After graduation I started a Psychology and Family Studies major at Weber State, while attending cosmetology school. With two semesters left at Weber State I was called to audition for Survivor. Two months and 4 interviews later I made the show and was off to the Marquesas island of Nuku Hiva. I had all the adventure I needed (smile). Since the show, I have traveled all over the place, met some amazing people and have had many incredible experiences. I went to Thailand with Operation Smile, helping kids with cleft lips and pallets. That was a highlight. My next adventure came when I married Kris Nielson in July 2003! We got married in the Manti temple. We had an apartment in downtown Salt Lake for a little bit, bought a home in Woods Cross, and traveled like crazy. Life has not slowed down. We had our first son, Kai, in October 2005, moved to Oregon, lived there for 2 years and loved it!

We fostered a beautiful baby boy named Blue for 9 months. We started fostering him when he was 6 months old and he left us in March 2008. He is so special. We just felt a strong need to foster. Kai loved it! It gave him a buddy to play with. If any of you have considered fostering, I would highly recommend it. He will always be a special part of our lives. We continued to add testosterone to the house with another little boy, River, April 2008. There isn’t much little about him. Since birth he has been off the charts for size and weight.

We love being parents. We can't get enough of our two little monsters. We moved to Texas in May 2008, with Kris' work, where we will be settled for a while. Life is great. I married the most amazing man and have two amazing little boys. I love being home with them. We won't make it to the reunion but it has been fun seeing friends on this blog. My e-mail is nelehdennis4@aol.com XOXOXO

Ryan "Shorty" Brobeck

Really not sure why I put Ryan on there. I'm still called Shorty by everyone. Including my "4'10" mother. After high school I went to Weber State along with 75% of the wasatch front 19 year olds. Played soccer for the men's team a couple years. Never graduated but its a work in progress. After bouncing around from job to job I landed with Foot Locker in Newgate Mall and worked my way up to get my own store to manage somewhere in the U.S. Three months before that happened I got offered a job managing an indoor soccer center in Ogden. So in '02 I started my dream job. I met my wife there and we started dating in '04. We dated for three years before getting married in '07 for almost a year. Yeah um... not the right person for me... boy what a story. Divorced with no kids but somehow ended up with a dog and bird? Much better than the wife. I then decided that my dream job was not a dream anymore and as of this May I quit and am designing and building concrete counter tops for Sheen Concrete Design in Clearfield. Who would have thought a $7 an hour pay cut could make you happier? I enjoy it so much and am looking at going back to school. Thinking of Firefighting or Graphic Design or Police Officer or Social Work . Who knows? In the last year I have gotten divorced, quit my job, sold my nice house to my parents, watched my nephew (pictured) be born on my birthday and named after me and have had a beer or four. I'm living life and wouldn't change anything that has happened in the last 10 years. Negativity is a Waste of Energy!! Im almost 28 and have the mentality and energy of somone who has no worries in life. Never felt better! I'm driven to be sucessfull but not sure with what yet. Just having fun and being the life of the party until I decide where that sucess is. Lance Jacobs is still my best friend and I still keep in touch with a few people from L-town. I should see you all at the picnic but not the dinner. Unless you know a lot of single women who are going stag to the reunion dinner. It will be good to see everyone.

It's interesting how things turn out sometimes - I've enjoyed readingabout everyone's lives and families and adventures, and am amazed thatten years have passed!

After we graduated, I left for Sao Paulo Brazil for a mission, andupon returning spent 3 years at the U of U to get a degree inEconomics. I then moved to New York City to teach 6th grade in theBronx (it was that or law school - probably a bad choice!), where Itaught for a bit and then decided it might not be a great long-termcareer move. I stayed in NYC for four years, getting a Masters degreein International Affairs and working for a steel company as animporter/exporter (with a focus on the imports). I spent the summerof 2006 in Bogota, Colombia (the country, not the school). After thatgraduation, I decided to shake things up a bit and moved toCalifornia. I got a job at a local theme park, and put my degrees togood use by giving tours of the rivers of the world (see photo). I'mstill at the Mickey Mouse operation they call a business, but havetransferred to another division. Life is good (as long as youremember to "Get over it!"), and maybe we'll see you at the reunion!

JON WEAVER

Hello! This is Jon Weaver and Family. Hope everyone is doing well. After Graduation I served a LDS mission in Durban, South Africa. I married my beautiful wife, Amber McCallister (Class of ’99) in October of 2001. We spent a year at Weber State University and then journeyed out to Louisville, Kentucky. Amber graduated in Dental Hygiene in 2004 and I am currently a senior dental student at U of L. We own a little home in Louisville and have enjoyed our time here. In May of 2009 we are planning on setting up practice in Anchorage, Alaska. We are excited to get closer to the mountains and have cooler weather in the summers.
We have 2 awesome kids. Caiden is three years old and Kaebrii is one. They are very fun and keep us on our toes.


Unfortunately we will not be able to make it the reunion. Amber is setting up a blog, if you want to keep in touch or know our blog email us at jsweav@yahoo.com.

Lisa Erickson

I guess it’s my turn to chime in about what I have been up to these last 10 years. I started college at Weber in the fall and went on to graduate with an associate’s degree in interior design. Not ready to enter the work force yet, I transferred to Utah State and applied and was accepted into their interior design program graduating in May of 2003 with a Bachelors of Science in Interior Design.


Upon graduating, I took advantage of an opportunity completely unrelated to my degree and left Utah to work in Florida. I took part in the Walt Disney World College Program and for the next seven months I worked as a lifeguard at the Disney World’s Polynesian Resort. Needless to say it was the best thing I ever did and if I could have made a living running around in a swimsuit and rescuing the occasional swimmer I don’t think I would have ever left.


In the fall I rejected an offer to extend my program at Disney World, working as a face character (I was approved to play the Snow Queen, Snow White’s evil stepmother). And in 2004, found myself back in Utah. I accepted a job at a commercial architecture firm in downtown Salt Lake City that spring, and am currently still employed there today, where I have been working for the past four years as an interior designer. I truly love what I do; working with new construction and seeing all my drawings and hard work become actual buildings and spaces.


So now I work full time with the occasional breather vacation. This last year I have started into some humanitarian work and recently spent some time in Honduras working with some schools and orphanages and enjoying the occasional scuba dive. Overall I find my life incredible full and I can’t wait for the next ten years!

Rich Schill

So much has happened since we graduated 10 years ago it’s hard to know where to begin. While many things haven’t happened exactly how I thought they would, I feel extremely fortunate to be pretty much right in the middle of pursuing one of my biggest dreams. Really, how many kids actually grow up to be what they dreamed of when they were young? But I am on that track. With a year of grad school left, I’ll be a licensed architect within 3 years or so. The deeper I get into the field, the more I’m convinced I was born for this. That’s not to say the path hasn’t been really hard, but it’s worth it.

After graduation, I did a semester at WSU. Not my best semester since I was completely unfocussed. After serving an LDS mission to Ecuador, I came back a much better student. I finished my associate degree at WSU, then transferred to the U of U to finish a bachelors in Spanish. The Spanish major was actually my backup plan for when I wasn’t accepted to the architecture school’s undergrad program. It turned out to be a very good move. Ten days after graduating, I jumped into a wickedly intense 3.5-year graduate program for architecture. I currently work for a small/medium- sized architecture firm in downtown SLC.

I met my wife Jamie Hillier (Farr West, UT) while I was still at WSU, but we didn’t start dating till I had moved to Salt Lake. So much for saving on gas by moving closer to school. We dated for about a year, and then were married in the Bountiful Temple on August 16th 2005. That date is significant since it is the reason I most likely won’t be coming to the reunion. We may still be out of town then. Jamie is a CPA and currently works for a public accounting firm in Salt Lake as an auditor. Jamie enjoys photography, and I like tinkering, building random furniture and any other excuse to use power tools. We both love the outdoors – camping, hiking, fly fishing, and mountain biking (I even took a class one semester!) No kids yet, but we do love hanging out with our families and playing with our little niece and nephews. Someday we’ll have our own.

I hope y’all enjoy the reunion. If anyone is interested in seeing some kick-butt architecture, my website will hopefully be up soon at http://www.arch.utah.edu/schillrm or richschillarch.no-ip.org

Casey and Jamie (Kerkman) Longfellow

Casey served an LDS mission to Brazil from 1999 to 2001. Once he returned he started fall semester at the University of Utah. He also started dating Jamie. On Halloween 2001, dressed as Prince Charming, he came trick-or-treating to Jamie's house and asked her to marry him! They got married January 2002 in the Bountiful Temple.

Jamie attended Weber State University and graduated with a BA in Early Childhood Education December 2003. 2004 was a busy year! They had their first house built in Clinton, both started new jobs (Casey as a dock lead at Americold and Jamie as a Kindergarten teacher), and they had their first son (Carson) in September.

The following year, Casey and Jamie changed jobs. Casey started working for ConocoPhillips and Jamie as a First Grade teacher. 2007 was another busy year! In March their second son (Cedric) was born. ConocoPhillips had a job open at the pipeline control center in Oklahoma, so Casey applied and was hired! In October, Casey and Jamie went house hunting and immediately fell in love with the second house they saw! Casey started his new job in November, while Jamie stayed behind to sell the house in Clinton, finish teaching second term, and hire a new teacher to replace her. The family reunited again for Christmas and the day after began the 16 hour drive to their new lives in Oklahoma!

Now, because of Casey's new job, Jamie is able to be the 'domestic engineer' and manage the new house and teach their two darling boys. Sometime in the near future, Jamie would like to run a pre-school in their home.

Jennifer (Bearden) McCannon

Let's see, after high school I took about a year off. Then when work got boring, I decided to go to Weber State, which lasted, oh about 2 years (I still haven't finished yet but plan to). Then in 2001, I needed a change of scenery so I moved to Athens, Georgia. I got my cosmetology license and have been in the Salon industry ever since. In 2003, I got married to a wonderful man. About 2 years ago, I got my real estate license to coincide with my husbands work, he owns a business in Forestry, which is huge market in the south. I never thought I would be driving/walking around in the woods selling land, learning about trees, snakes and all sorts of bugs, so far I haven't come in contact with any snakes but they are out there. We don't have any kids, our 2 dogs seem keep us busy. It has been an exciting 10 years, which have gone by so fast, things are great and we are enjoying all that we have been blessed with. No blog spot for me but anyone is welcome to email me at jennifermccannon@yahoo.com. I won't be at the reunion, I hope everyone has a great time.

BreAnne (McKinlay) Wolfe

Hey it's been a long time!!! Right after high school me and Amber Bailey moved in to an apartment together . Summer Hatch pretty much lived there too as well as many other people.... Chase Hughes, Brian Brinkerhoff, Andy Lutz and ect. ect. ect. We had many fun times there ( I think!!!) In October of 98 I met my husband and we were married in May of 99. I have been married for 9 years to the best man in the world. He gave me 4 yes 4 beautiful boys. (no girls) My husband's name is J.R. and my boys are Gunner (8) Koltyn (7) Hudson (4) and Rhyder(3). I live in Syracuse and I do hair in my mom's salon in Layton. The past 10 years has taught me a lot. I love being a mom and wife. I haven't decided if I am going to the reunion or not yet. I would love to see everyone though!!! I am a COMPLETELY different person than I was in high school which I am sure we all are!! It was really great seeing and reading about everyone!!!

Lilly (Olson) Keovilayphone

I have been married for 11 years to the most amazing man in the world! I married our senior year. Attended Cosmetology school, and I worked as a makeup artist for 6 years. We have 2 amazing boys. Preston will be 10 in October and Jaydon will be 5 in October! I love staying at home with my kids. We love going on vacation and spending time as a family. In the summer we BBQ a lot and the boys love to go fishing with their dad. (I'm not an outdoors person!) They love it though! I do however enjoy taking them swimming!!

My boys are my whole world! They are truly so amazing!! I am so blessed! We will be out of town on the weekend of the reunion. We are going to Vegas for our 11 year anniversary!! I'd love to hear from friends though. My email address is khamlilly1@msn.com

Melanie (Davis) Ray

It's been so fun to read what everyone has been up to for the past 10 years! Our lives have been so different but there is still a connection we share as lancers and friends. I'm excited to see all of you! You're kids are all so dang cute!

How do you summarized 10 years of life in a paragraph? Rather that bore you with all the details here is my the cliff notes version:Senior year 1998- married, good job, 1999 buy a house, 2001 baby boy #1, full time job = a mom, 2003 baby boy #2, 2004 rough spots, start work part time, 2004 reality check and ah-ha moment, 2005 the big D, end of 2004 started back to school full time, busy single mom, 2006 graduate and get a job I love, 2003-2008 enjoy being the mom of two happy and handsome little boys, 2006-current dating again, 2008 new house, happy me. Hopefully you can follow all of that. If you want the detailed version come find me at the reunion and I can fill in on the rest. (Just so you know it's ok that I am divorced, we get along fine now- no drama. I don't get offended if you ask) Life has not turned out as I planned or expected. Not to say that it isn't a good life, just a little different than I pictured it.

These are some recent picture taken over the 4th of July with my boys. Logan is 7 and Payton is 5. They are my pride and joy. They make it all worth it. If you want to have a good laugh at my expense check out my blog and go to Adayinthelifeof-us.blogspot.com. See you all there!

Annie (Jorgensen) Thackeray

Hey Everybody! It's been so interesting to read what everyone has been up to over the past 10 years, so I decided to join in. After high school, I went to Europe for six weeks with some of my family. It was the most amazing experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. After I got back, I started school at Weber State, majoring in Nursing. After a while of dating and running around with friends, I met Tom, who is now my husband. He was going to a singles ward at Weber, as well as my good friend, Neleh. She talked me into going with her one week and that was all it took. Tom and two of his brothers and us girls hung out every weekend for about three months before he asked me out on an official date. I experienced my first cattle branding and many more firsts were to follow. We dated for about five months, got engaged, and were married in the Bountiful temple September 7, 2000. My husband grew up on a big family run ranch in Northern California, I don't think I truly understood what that meant. I found out really fast. After we were married, we moved up Echo Canyon, Utah to a small cabin that was to be our home. Soon after, we went to Utah State University and he began his schooling. I worked as a CNA full time to put him through school and put my schooling on hold. We had our first baby in 2002, a little girl, Mckenzie. Tom graduated and we moved to California to work on a small ranch. We've worked for a few other ranches since then and had a baby boy in 2005, Tyler and another boy in 2007, Tanner!! We are now back in Utah working for large cattle ranch. It's been the most wonderful and crazy eight years of my life. I hope everyone is doing well and look forward to catching up!

Kellie (Isom) McClure

It has been a jam packed 10 years for me. To give you a short review here's what I've been up to:

Year 1: Went to Ricks college and started my flirting, fun, and country dancing obsession, and did some serious library time.

Year 2: Continued my flirting, fun, and hard work and got two associates in Spanish and English Lit. Met my hubby Dan (the flirting was successful) and got married in the West Jordan Temple

Year 3: Transferred to BYU Provo and started my degree and worked

Year 4: Had my gorgeous, darling, amazingly talented little girl Chloe Reese (now 6.5) (she was born during finals week which was really exciting)

Year 5: Earned my degree in English Lit (Mr. Peterson would be shocked I'm sure) and graduated the same day as Dan who graduated in Health and PE. I then decided to start my own company from the ground up. Check it out at www.chloereese.com

Year 6: Moved to Mountain Home, Utah where Dan started teaching and coaching basketball

Year 7: Had my hysterical, brilliant, talks like he's 20 little boy Cade (nearly 4)

Year 8: Moved to Honeyville, Utah (lived with my parents for a year) while Dan taught and coached at Roy High school and I grew the business whilst running around with my 2 little buddies.

Year 9: Had my cuddly, playful, fearless little man Chance (turned 1 on the 4th of July) and moved to Sugar City, Idaho where Dan is head basketball coach at South Fremont High (I've learned a lot about the game since my cheer leading days).

Year 10: Still live in Idaho, love working from home keeping the business up (most of the time), reading, playing non-stop with the kiddos, remodeling and decorating our home.
Our family blog is danandkellie@blogspot.com

I can't wait to see and catch up with all of you. I'll see you at the reunion.

Desirea (Alvarez) Walker

I can't believe how fast time has gone! After graduation, I went to Weber State and started working for a company that manages group homes for adults with developmental disabilities. While at WSU, I started out as a music major but decided that it wasn't for me. So while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, I changed my major 3 times, joined the LDS Church, met Brent Walker, and got married! Our marriage story is actually quite funny and different, so if you're interested, just ask! I finally decided on a major in Psychology, graduated in 2004, and worked my way up to senior management at my company. In 2005, we bought a house in Ogden. In February 2007, we welcomed our sweet baby girl Emilee into the world. We think she is the cutest thing ever!! I never thought that I'd want to be a stay-at-home mom, but the minute she was born, I decided that I didn't want to go back to work. So while Brent works as a Project Manager/Developer at a computer software company, I get to stay home with our daughter. It has been so much fun!!! We will be at the reunion, so we'll see everyone then!

Robert Palmer

You have all inspired me to finally write a little about my amazing life since the summer of 1998. It's weird but no matter where I've been I always seem to bump into a fellow Lancer. Just out of high school I went to the U for a year and roomed with James Barnard before my mission to Curitiba Brazil where I served with Porter Jones from the Class of '99. Came back and got my degree at BYU in Biology and roomed with Chad Braithwaite and Devin Burrup until I got married to a Canadian beauty named Kelti. I worked at America First Credit Union while in school where many fellow Lancers worked along side me, including Mike Christensen and Ryan Stevenson.

For the last three years our family has been in San Francisco while I attended UOP dental school with Michelle (Sparks) McDonough's husband Aaron. I just graduated this June and we're now in Mesa, AZ where I'll be starting my first job as a dentist in about two weeks. I'm sure to bump into some fellow alumni eventually down here as well. Kelti and I have two kids. Ben is almost four and Emme is two.


I still think of my high school friends as some of my best friends and it sucks we can't all be a little closer to each other. I won't be in town for the reunion, so I hope to see some more updates from you guys.

Robyn (Smedley) Paskett

Like everyone else, I cannot believe that ten years has gone by!! It seem like just yesterday I was running around the halls at good old Layton High. Of course I go the Layton fireworks on the 4th every year, so I still see the good old school at least once a year.

Ok so here goes, after high school I worked for a little bit before going to SUU down in Cedar City in Jan. of 99 (man I feel old), where I went for 1 year, and lived for a year and half. I was majoring in phychology, but even after just one class I thought NO WAY!! it wasn't for me so I just worked that last half year that I was there and then went home in April where I went to Australia with my fam to visit my sister. I was there for almost three months!! it was such a blast!! When I came home I thought I want to go again!! so I got a job for like a year, saved up my money and went again in 2001, this time not as long but it was like two months that I was there. I really liked it over there! Especially driving on the wrong side of the road.

After getting back I did a short stint as a nanny in Colorado which was a fantastic experience!! Then I lived for a short time in California. Way too expensive down there!! After getting back from Cali I worked as a Physical therapy assistant, then for a pet store, then I finally decided to grow up and went to LDS Business College from 2003-2005, where I got my associates degree in Interior Design!! I love love love it!! but funny enough thats not what I do right now. I worked for a bakery in SLC while going to school then I decided I had had enough of the whole bakery goods food. While I was working there though I met the love of my life Jeremy Paskett!! We were married on Jan 27, 2006!! ( sorry to all those I didn't invite from high school :) ) so we have been married for 2 1/2 years and I couldn't be happier. I work for America First Credit union as a Loan officer and have finally found something that I can spend the rest of my life doing or at least the company that I could spend my career with. We have not been blessed with any little ones yet, ( my goodness all you who have three and four kids!! good for you!) but come end of december I will remedy that!! I have a blog site but its not very done yet, so if you want to see a couple of pics of me and jeremy and our 1st house you are more than welcome to visit it, leave some messages, you know I don't know what else you can do on there! its still a work in progress. There is a reason I didn't graduate with anything having to do with technology or computers!!

We Currently live in Ogden, but we both work in Bountiful and our house is for sale, soooooo if anyone wants to live in the great city of Ogden, you can buy my house!! I want to put it on my blog but havent figured out how to do it yet, so in the meanitme if you are interested, you can veiw it on ksl.com or you can e-mail me and I will send you a flyer!! Here is my e-mail address. lafluerexquise7@hotmail.com (don't ask).

Reed West

Hello fellow lancers,

My how time flies by when you are having fun. Well a little about me in these fast ten years of life. After high school I went to Weber State for1 year, served a mission in South Texas for two years, came home and played around for a year and then decided to get married to my beautiful wife Bari whom I met when I got back from my mission. We have three wonderful kids. Angelia who will be five this July, Corbyn who is 2, and Erick is almost 7 months. They are definetely the highlight of my life along with my wife of course. I am currently studying business administration at Weber State pursuing a bachelors degree, I am a little slow, but my life has been amazing with different obstacles and life. Anyhow, I am working as a staff accountant and loving it very much. Looking forward to being a partner after college is over. Well that pretty much sums it up. Hope to see everyone at the reunion. Talk to ya later.

Marc Wangsgard

'You may remember me from such films as 'Wrestling Singlets: Sick or Sexy?' and 'Tennis at LHS: Sport For the Last Guy Picked.' My film career took a successful detour when I starred in a pair of nature thrillers titled 'Earwigs: Eww!' and 'Man vs. Nature: The Road to Victory'. I gave up film when I barely graduated from LHS ( Courtesy of Mrs. Zobell and Mr. Petersen and their U's.) I went to Weber for a year and then to Italy on an LDS mission. I returned home and found that the one girl I always had a crush on had faithfully waited for me. Bonnie couldn't recall my name but she knew there was someone from her past that had caught her eye so when she saw me it was all over. I, however, needed some convincing so it took her 9 months of hard work and we were married. That is not exactly how it happened but I did get extremely blessed and lucky to marry Bonnie Yarbrough. Bonnie went to BYU and graduated in Linguistics just after we were married and taught ESL at Clearfield High School while I attended Weber for a degree in Zoology. We then moved to Vegas for medical school and needless to say I still do not have a job! We just entered our third year and I am just super excited to be out of the classroom and doing rotations (currently OBGYN). The best part of all of this was when we were blessed with two wonderful boys-Greg(4) and Caleb(2) they really are what makes us the happiest and craziest. We are super excited to see everyone at the reunion and can't wait to show off our boys. Our blog is much more truthful and can be found at http://mbwangsgard.blogspot.com/

Clint Buhler

After graduation I went to Weber State for two years to study accounting. I changed my mind and transferred to the University of Utah where I completed a degree in Art History and one in Russian. I the middle of all that I served a two year mission in Novosibirsk, Russia. While at the U I also met my wife, Tina Drysdale from Murray. We spent a couple summers on Catalina Island working at a Boy Scout camp together before packing up and moving to Ohio for graduate school. I now attend Ohio State (go Bucks!) and have completed a Master’s Degree in Art History and one in Slavic and East European Studies. I am currently teaching and pursuing my PhD in Art History. I guess I decided to go to school for the rest of my life and never really have too much money (which is Ok because I also made some radical political shifts, finding myself aligning in many ways with Communist ideals. That’s not to say I don’t love America, I just don’t love only America). We currently have one beautiful, 2-year-old daughter named Xanaida, and a little boy on the way. I will be unable to attend the reunion but hope everyone is well. If anyone is interested my email is rosesdamagedethos@yahoo.com.

Tracy (Sheffield) Hansen

After graduating I went on to college at BYU where I graduated (Hooray!!) with a B.A. in History in August of 2002. I followed BYU up with some independent study programs and earned an associates degrees as a paralegal and in interior design. I currently work as a paralegal for a law office in Kaysville which handles family law and estate planning. Matt (the hubby) and I met in 2005 after I chased him until he was interested in me. We were married on June 29, 2006. He works as a contractor for HAFB doing computer software testing. Last year we bought our first house and love having all the space after the one bedroom apartment. We are enjoying life and I can't wait to see everyone again.

Rhead Kelly

Since I graduated high school I have had a lot happen. Who hasn't, it has been 10 years! I went up to USU for a semester and then went on to serve a mission in Minnesota. I came home from my mission and met the hottest girl in the world. Her name is Lindsay and we got married a little over a year after I got home from the mish. We now have 3 kids, Andee(4), Cashe(2), Kimball(8 months). I am a total family man and LOVE it! I went up to Weber to finish my bachelor's degree and am now half way through my Master's program. I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!

This is our latest business venture. Check it out! www.thelovewraps.com

Nicia (Sweat) Curtin

Shortly after graduation, I moved to Washington. We live in the Tri-cities, which is made up of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland. We live three blocks from the wonderful Columbia River where the hydro boat races take place every year. For those of you who are interested, we also live near the Hanford Nuclear Waste site. This is where the platinum was made for the atomic bomb; it is a very interesting place to learn about. I married Richard Curtin from Roy High in 1999, he is the reason I ended up moving here. Ironically he took me to senior prom, so I suppose you could say he was my High School Sweetheart. We will be married for nine years this year. We have two children, Thomas who is seven and Nicholas who just turned five. They keep me busy.

I am currently a stay at home mom, and just received my degree from Columbia Basin College. When my youngest starts first grade I intend on finishing my BA and work my way to becoming a high school English teacher. My husband works for Charter Communications and we are currently building our second house in the outskirts of Kennewick. I will try to attend the reunion, and can not wait to see everyone.

Jill (Lee) Beaumont

Hi Everyone. Ten years does sure fly by. After graduation I attended Weber State for a year then moved to Pheonix, Arizona in 1999 where I currently reside with my husband Matt. Matt and I met while in high school and married in March 2000. He attended Box Elder High in Brigham City. After moving around the Phoenix metro area for four years, we decided to buy a house in Peoria.

I started school again at Glendale Community College in the fall of 2000 before transferring to Arizona State University in 2002. I graduated in 2003 with my Bacherlor's of Science Accountancy and have been studying off and on for the CPA Exam. I just recently started to get more serious about it and began review classes so hopefully I will have it passed by next summer.

After college graduation, we decided to start a family and Shealyn, our beautiful daughter, was born June 2005. She is a joy to have around and not a minute goes by without her making us laugh. As with all children she has quite the personality. We are expecting another daughter, Victoria, on September 2, therefore we will not be at the reunion although I would love to see everyone.

I currenlty work for Monument Hospitality, Inc., a Hotel Management Company, where I am the Controller. I enjoy it pretty well. I have been there since we moved to Arizona. Matt is working for Arizona Truck Pros, which is a truck accessory company as the shop manager. They do a lot of work for the various cities installing tool boxes, spary in liners, etc. He also enjoys his job. It is always nice when we don't have to dread going to work.

Matt is an avid hunter and was drawn for Bull Elk this year so he is pretty excited. He and his hunting buddy are making regular trips to Flagstaff to scout out the area. I don't have too many hobbies at the moment. I was in to cross stitching prior to Shealyn coming but have given that up so now I just spend all the time I can with Shealyn. We love to go for walks to the park and occassionaly go camping with Matt. We also make regular trips to Utah to visit my dad and Matt's family.

If anyone is ever in the Phoenix area we would love to see you. Glad to see everyone is doing well. Hope to see everyone at the next reunion.

Alison (Lindeman) Harding

After High School, I attended Brigham Young University. I met my husband in the fall of ’99 and we were married in January 2001. In 2002 I graduated from BYU with a degree in Recreation Management (basically I get to have fun all the time). I went to work for BYU in their Student Life department. After two years I decided to take a job with Intermountain Healthcare.

In June 2005, we welcomed the birth of our first child, Mason. He is my little buddy and I enjoy spending time with him. In 2006, John’s company transferred us to New Jersey. We bought a home in Pennsylvania in the lush Pocono Mountains. I stayed at home for a bit but, soon found myself in need of some adult conversation. I began working for a local resort as their recreation director. A month into the job I found out we were expecting our second child. Due to complications I quit my job to stay home and focus on my health and spending quality time with Mason.

After about a year, we realized it was miserable living away from our family so John accepted a new job offer and we packed up and moved back to Utah in September 2007. While waiting for our house to sell in an extremely slow market, we are bunking with my parents in Saratoga Springs, Utah. In November, 2007, we welcomed the birth of our daughter Haley. (I guess one of each means I’m done?!?). I am enjoying being a stay at home Mom and part time travel agent for John’s new company.

We have been from the East Coast to the West Coast and after traveling the US, I’m ready to go abroad and look forward to all the traveling opportunities this new venture will give us.

Wow! It’s been great reading about everyone and it has inspired me to share my last ten years. After graduating I attended good old Weber State and got my Associates. Meanwhile, I meet my husband through a mutual friend who set us up on a blind date (they do work!). We dated for several years and in 2002 (seems to be the year for everyone) got married in the Bountiful Temple. That same year we relocated to open a legal recovery office in Portland, Oregon for my husband’s employer at the time. We have lived in the northwest for 6 years now and don’t think we ever plan on leaving. I think it’s the most beautiful place and I love discovering its breathtaking scenery.

Living here hasn’t been all play and no work! I got my BS in Health Care Administration. I currently operate a mental health outpatient program in the heart of downtown Portland (22 providers and growing!!). We specialize in cognitive-behavioral theory and methods with Eastern meditative principles and practices. It’s rewarding to be able to work with so many great people that want to help others. It has been a fun adventure. We lived around the metro Portland area and three years ago built our home in a city called Gresham. Our home is close to Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge which allows us to maintain our active outdoor life.

Somehow no kids yet but we still have plenty of time! Our dog is our child for now. Strangely enough I will be in Utah for the reunion but unable to attend since my bro-in-law is getting married that day, what are the chances of that!

Kychelle (Probert) Chino

Wow!! Ten years, crazy! After high school I went to college up at WSU while waiting for my missionary. In 2000 we got married and we will be celebrating our eighth anniversary this year. We have three beautiful daughters ages seven, five and almost three. We are currently living in Texas and have been for the past two years. Life has been very busy for us. I am a full time mom and I love it. My husband Gabe is the Director of Software Development in his company. We have come a long way and we are loving life.

I guess I'll repeat what everyone else has said, so here it goes. Wow, I can't believe it's been ten years! But in all honesty, I really can't. These past ten years have flown by for me and they have been great. About a year after high school, I moved to Ogden, got an apartment, a job, and enrolled at Weber State. About a year later, I realized that I hated my apartment, hated my job, and hated Weber State. Sorry to all of the Weber graduates. So when my lease was up, I moved to Salt Lake and began working at the University Hospital in the Radiology apartment where not only did I have the exciting job of scheduling Radiology appointments, I also met my husband, Hubert. We were married nine months later at the Bountiful Temple and life has been so good ever since.

We both attended the University of Utah where he graduated with a degree in Accounting and is currently an accountant for a software company and I graduated with a degree in English. After six years of being married and me starting my last semester of school, we decided it was time to start our family and we now have a beautiful baby girl, Eliana, who is ten months old and we can't get enough of her. It's so crazy to me to look at how many children people have so far and I only have my one, but I guess that's ok. We'll catch up sooner or later.

So what else have I been up to? Well, we love southern Utah and Zion's National Park, so we try to get down there as often as possible, although we haven't been since we have had our little girl, but hopefully soon. Also, Hubert's parents are immigrants from Ecuador, therefore making him Ecuadorian so I have had the opportunity to be a part of another culture and I love it. I have never tasted such wonderful food or have had as much fun at family parties. And even though I don't speak Spanish very well, I'm starting to catch on and I can understand about 90% of what is being said, but I can't really speak it. And this past year I have taken up running and I recently ran the Ragnar or "Wasatch Back" and I loved every minute of it. I'm sure it if any one else has ran it before, they know what I mean.

But right now our time is being happily taken up by our daughter and we are loving watching her learn and grow. And hopefully, in a few years, I will go back to school and get my Masters in Education, but we'll see what happens. Hope to see everyone soon!

Dustin Strickland

The summer after graduation I performed professionally at Utah Musical Theatre doing two repertory shows. That was the first and last time I performed pro. For good reason! Had I pursued theatre I would have hit rock bottom a while ago. I severed a mission in Brazil Londrina. I married April Balaich. We have three AWESOME kidz. Went to Weber State, got a degree in Supply Chain Management while working full time and having babies.......I don't know how we pulled it off, but we did. I now work for Parker Hannifin in West Valley as Production Planning Specialist. I recently got a promotion and will be moving to Nacogdoches, TX THIS SATURDAY JULY 7!!!!! I am also taking courses toward my MBA from Colorado Sate University. We currently own a condo in Millcreek. If anyone would like to move closer to Salt Lake City-save some gas-obtain a real estate investment, I am selling our condo on 4050 South 233 E #4 MLS# 809509, 3 bdrm 2 bath 1100 sq ft to boot. Photos online. Priced to Sell!!! New flooring, new paint, new dishwasher, sinks, fixtures, assessment free, $150 HOA, ready to move in. April and the kidz will be staying here while I start in Texas to act now, we want to be together as soon as we can :)

Holly (Yurth) Harmon

Hey Fellow Lancers! How fun it is to see how our lives have come along! Most of you know my husband, Nathan Kirt Harmon (class of 1997), the cutest man who ever lived. We wrote to each other through Nathan's mission to El Salvador, and married in June of 2000. My college roomates and I (Jeanette Allred and Kellie Isom) all married our husbands in the same week. I graduated with my Associate's in English in 2001, and am now off and working on a Bachelor's in Music Composition at U of U.

Nathan went to Pharmacy school at Idaho State University and is now an official, totally legal drug dealer! Woo hoo! We built a house in Centerville and we enjoy our little community close to downtown, but still far enough away to breathe. We have three adorable children, Isaac (6), Jacob (3) and Ava (4 months on July 1). They are the darlings of my life! I continue to write poetry and plays (and other things Nathan thinks are useless - ironic as we were in plays together, right?).

I am a member of the Utah State Poetry Society and League of Utah Writers and have won awards from both organizations. I am proud to say that I do NOT do scrapbooking and probably never will. Ha ha! I also compose music and do music arranging, still sing, etc, which means I am constantly in a music calling at church.

All in all, life is good to us, and we are excited for the reunion (actually I think Nathan couldn't care less but I am making him come anyway!). See you there!

Amber Taylor

Like everyone else, I can’t believe it’s been ten years! It’s been quite the ride. After graduating, I went to USU, and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2001. I graduated from UCMT in 2003, and have been working in the wellness industry ever since.

I currently live in Layton, but I’m heading back up to USU in July to get my teaching certificate. I am also working on a Master’s in Holistic Nutrition. What can I say – I’m a huge nerd!

Besides going to school, I’ve been able to do a lot of traveling and have had some wonderful experiences. I won’t be able to make it to the reunion, but I hope all of you are happy and doing well! You’re more than welcome to visit my little corner of the world at http://abbosplace.blogspot.com/

Connie (Call) Robinson

It's fun to see everyone and what you all have been doing. What fun! After High School I went to LDS BC. I met my husband Robert soon after High School Graduation and was married in the Spring of 99'. We lived in Layton for about a year and then moved to West Jordan, about a year and a half after we were married we had a baby girl. We now have a total of 4 children, Kelsy-almost 8, BriAnna - 6, Ammon - 3, and our little Lyla 6 months. They keep me busy. We seem to be busy all the time with something. It's sad I can't find a recent picture with everyone in it. I guess that is how it goes with 4 kids.

Michelle (Sparks) McDonough

After high school I moved to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah. In 2001 I served an LDS mission to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After my mission I returned to the U and finished my BA in English. I had planned on attending Medical school but didn´t feel good about it so I took a job with a hospice agency to buy myself some time. I ended up loving the work and decided to pursue a Master´s degree in Social Work.

About the same time I met my amazing husband Aaron McDonough (from Murray, UT) on a blind date who swept me off my feet and took me to San Francisco. We lived in San Francisco for 3 years where Aaron completed dental school and I finished my MSW at San Francisco State University. We were sad to leave San Francisco, we loved our time there. We decided to console ourselves by spending the summer traveling.

I am currently sitting in an internet cafe in Cusco, Peru where we will be for the next month studying Spanish and hiking the Andes. After that we will be in Utah for a bit and then off to Germany to visit family before mving to Colorado for our next adventure...more school (Aaron will complete a post-grad residency in Orthodontics). It´s a good life! I would love to make it to the reunion, but I´m not sure I will be in the country. If anyone is curious, you can follow our life at www.chellemcd.blogspot.com.

Amber (Owens) Bull

After graduating, I went to Ricks College (now BYU- Idaho) for two years. I got my associates degree in fine arts and then went on to serve a mission in Leipzig, Germany. I was engaged only two months after getting home to Ryan Bull, who I met through friends the summer after high school. (We didn't really write to or wait for each other through our missions, it was just a wonderful thing that worked out.)We were married January 1, 2003 in the Bountiful temple. I then finished school at Weber State and graduated with a degree in social work. I worked for LDS Family Services in Farmington as an adoption caseworker/birthparent counselor. I loved being a part of the adoption world, but it was very emotional and demanding. So, when we had our first son Thomas in May 2005, I left work and never lookedback. Our second son Nathan was born a year ago.

Ryan is now one trimester away from getting his MBA at Thunderbird School of Global Management, in Glendale, Arizona. We are currently in Dundee, Scotland with Ryan as he is doing a summer internship. Sorry, to miss the reunion!

Curtis Andrews

Following graduation from good ol’ LHS I attended Weber State for one year on a golf scholarship. Then in 1999 I was off to Guatemala City, Guatemala to serve a LDS mission – I even ran into a few LHS alums during my time there!! Following the mission I returned to school and golf as WSU majoring in Zoology and hoping to get into medical school one day.


During the summer of 2002 I met my sweet wife to be, Alison and we were married in the Bountiful Temple in March of 2003. (Alison – incidentally is also an LHS grad (2001) and little sister of our classmate Clint Potter…who knew he had a hot little sister all along??)


Anyway…we rented a little home in Layton near the Training Table restaurant until moving to Henderson, NV (near Las Vegas) for medical school in 2004. Med school was a great experience with many new friends and lots of fun (aside from the work, of course). The most exciting part of school came in January 2005 when our son Carson was born. He is our pride and joy and is so very entertaining always keeping us on our toes.

2008 has brought about more changes starting with med school graduation. We matched into a residency program in Springfield, MA in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. So after a grueling 8 day trek across the country (with stops in some hot tourist spots along the way) here we are, trying to settle in to a new city and find new friends. The landscape here is quite a contrast to the desert we’ve been used to. Las Vegas rainfall is around 4 inches per year…whereas here in Springfield we may be nearing that number for the month of June!


I won’t be able to make it to the reunion – but I sure hope to see everyone sometime down the road – maybe at another reunion!! Please check us out on our blog at “www.alis2boys.blogspot.com”

Alysia (Squire) Bischoff

Wow! has it really been ten years already? It has been a busy one for me and my family. I went to Weber and Utah State after high school until I graduated in nursing and got my bachelors degree in Community Health Education. USU was great and I got to room with a bunch of my great friends from high school that made it so much fun. I met my sweet hubby Kevin while I was going to school in Logan and we were married six years ago. After we both graduated we moved to Spokane, Washington while he went to Law School at Gonzaga. We loved Washington and had a fun time making new friends there. We had our first cute baby girl Ellie a year after we moved to Washington.

After Washington we moved to Las Vegas for Kevin's job. We have lived there for the last two years and also really like living there as well. We had another darling baby girl about a year and a half ago named Reese. We were just able to move back to Utah this month and are so happy to be here. Kevin works for a Law Firm in SLC and has enjoyed it so far. It has been a great ten years even if we have moved 8 times already. We are hoping to stay put for awhile now... but who knows!

There is a great quote that says, "Life is not supposed to be a safeand easy ride to the grave. It is meant to be a roller coaster ridewhere you come flying in sideways while screaming at the top of yourlungs, "That was one heck of a ride!" The past 10 years have been anamazing ride filled with exciting twists and turns that I neverexpected. I've had a lot of laughs and a few tears, but overall lifehas been wonderful!

I served an LDS mission in Venezuela. I graduated from Utah in PublicRelations. For the past 5 years I have worked in the financialindustry and just recently I've tested the waters of becoming a smallbusiness owner. Somewhere along the way I found a passion forhumanitarian service and have enjoyed some incredible adventures inservice.

I am really excited to see everyone at the reunion. Hope to see you there!

Jay Neuteboom

After graduation, I attended a semester at Weber State before serving an LDS mission in Lima, Peru. I got home January 2001, met my wife in March, and got married that September. Since then, I have been working as a finish carpenter. Last August, I got my General Contractor's license and started my own business, Nut Tree Construction, Inc.. My wife and I have a 20 month old daughter and are expecting a baby boy this October. We live in Layton.

Spencer Crandall

Spencer & Kristen Crandall

Is there any irony that we’re now the parents commenting on how time has flown by? It’s egregious! Where to begin, I served my LDS mission in Guatemala, yup, my mother’s homeland, it was certainly a trip’n time! My mom graduated from Weber and started teaching Spanish there while I was gone. She became so excited in school, she signed me up for the spring semester which started 2 weeks before I returned home! It was a far out. While at Weber State, I started dating the finest Nursing School chick I could find and married her. She ended up being an old swimming teammate…Kristen Brown…funny how that worked, (not to mention my friends younger sister)! We were married August 17, 2001 in the Bountiful Temple.


After September 11th, I decided to serve in the United States Air Force and started attending ROTC at the University of Utah. I graduated in December 2003 and commissioned as an Air Force Intelligence Officer (any more irony there…me, intelligence? :-P ). Since then our family has passed through Alabama, Florida, Texas and now Arizona, where we’ve enjoyed more ‘stability’. Nearly four years now, thanks to the wars, the Air Force is too poor to keep moving people like pack rats. Moving raised quite a stir in the Brown family, Kristen was the first to move from Layton, but now that Joyce Forbes Brown (mother-in-law) is Layton City Council, it’s good politics!

We were surprised during the last year of school to have Abagail Liberty enter our lives completely unexpected. She made that last year ‘fun’. We love her so much. Aidan Teancum was patient, though too patient, you can call him a ‘war baby’, had him after my first ‘visit’ to Afghanistan. We’re now trying for our third, but my absence in Iraq isn’t helping.

I may not be up for the reunion, but know that I’m always a Lancer at heart, just off fighting for freedom in Babylon! Whether you agree or not with the war, I ask that you pray for the cause of freedom here, and for me and the other members of our graduating class serving…some out here right now, but I won’t steal their thunder. God be with you my friends.

It is amazing how surprising and wonderful life can be. During my senior year of high school I was working towards a nursing career and after graduation accepted a job at a North Davis Hospital to find that it was not for me. I switched directions and took an internship at Hill Air Force at the Bio Environmental Department. I married an architect in 2001 after dating for almost two years. However I was just shy of my seventh anniversary when it ended in divorce. I have no children but I enjoy spoiling my two nieces who just moved back from India! I have been working for Weber County for the past six years. I recently purchased my own home and I am enjoying this next season of my life. I write and have some publishing agencies interested in my work. I recently had a few of my poems published in an anthology “Immortal Verses Series”. I started running again and now remember why I loved cross-country back in high school. I have also picked up a new expensive hobby, cycling. I am conditioning for a race with Dad this fall. I have done some big humanitarian projects such as donating some much-needed items for the Casa Hoga Peopito Orphanage in Mexico, for a non-profit organization called Starfish Difference. I am also apart of P.U.G.S of Utah, which is a charitable organization designed to save and find homes for pugs. Yes I am a pug owner! His name is Oscar and you may have even seen him on TV last year when Fox13 did their coverage of our annual fundraiser I still keep in touch with some close childhood friends from school and look forward to catching up with the rest of you soon.

Paul Beutler

After high school I went to college for one year and then went to Toronto for a mission. I finished my degree and then moved to Omaha to go to dental school. I just recently graduated and I start my new job next week. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

Nikki (Smith) Weekes

Hey all! I can't tell you how tempted I was to find some cool pictures on the internet and make up stories about the last decade of my life. Alas, the truth will eventually come out- so we'll just stick to that. After high school I headed to the University of Utah for a triple major that ended up just being one- in Economics. Halfway through my degree I moved to D.C. for an internship at the Supreme Court. They asked me to stay, I did, enrolled at and was accepted to University of Maryland- with the intent to stay and finish a law degree.

Meanwhile, I came home to visit and ended up meeting my future husband at Blindsides and 9 days later we were engaged. Things drastically changed from there. I stayed and finished here in Utah, married, and to our surprise 4 months later we were pregnant. (Birth control isn't any sort of guarantee.) Law school has been on hold since.

Long story short: temple marriage, european adventure, three children, yw president, house with a garden, primary president, marathon, master's in secondary education, SJH, mini-van, business ventures, etc., etc. Life has gone fast and often in a different direction than planned--which often means better! I can't believe how wonderful it has been to read about all of you and to see your incredible lives. Can't wait to see as many as I can! Nikki Smith Weekes weekesforweeks@blogspot.com

Jenny (Burkett) Jorgensen

Wow 10 years. Since high school I have been very busy. I had a baby August after we graduated and taking care of her and working. Then Doug and I finally got married in June, 2000 and I got pregnant with our twin boys, Dalton and Daxton. I had them in Feb and then quit my job and stayed home. Then we just had another son, Karson, on October 1. We just bought a house in Kaysville and love it here. The yard needs some TLC but we have done so much already and there is more to be done. I decided that now's a good time to go back to school and get my teaching degree. So, on top of having four kids I am going to school. It is so fun to hear what everyone is up to, hope to see you all at the reunion. To check out more visit our blog: http://dougjenjorgensen.blogspot.com/

Whitney (Dierenfeldt) Williams

After High School I went to Weber State for a year and then Utah State for a year and then back to Weber State where I decided to get my Associates degree in General Studies because I still didn’t have a major picked out! I worked in our family business until 2003 when I met and married my husband Justin Williams. We lived in Farmington after we were married and had our beautiful princess Sydney in Sept 2004. I found out I was pregnant with our second child 3 months later…yes 3 months! I’m still not sure how that happened!!! (LOL) We moved to Mesa Arizona in the Spring of 2004 to help Justin’s parents grow their business and ended up staying for 2 years. I had our handsome little devil Tanner in Mesa in Sept of 2005.

We then moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho in Aug of 2006 to slow down a little and be closer to Family. A Year later Justin was approached by an old friend to help start a company here in Utah. We took the job so that brought us back down to Utah! Justin is now the President of Business Development for C3 Inc., and we are living in Draper. I enjoy staying home with our children…they keep me very busy. It has been a whirlwind for the last 10 years. I can’t believe it’s been so long since we walked the halls of good old LHS. I have a blog so feel free to check out our Family at Justinandwhitneywilliams.blogspot.com

I can’t wait to see everyone there!!

Shanna (Priest) Wiscombe

Wow! Ten years. Life sure seems to fly by. After graduation, I went to Europe for six weeks (and then two more time in 2000 and 2002, taking my husband with me on the last trip) then headed to Weber State for school.

In September 2001 I met my husband, Joshua, and we were married in the Salt Lake Temple in March of 2002. I graduated from Weber State with a BA in English in May of 2003 and had our first son in July of 2003. Needless to say, life has been busy, but also a lot of fun.

We have three children: Samuel, 4, who love sports and school; Emma, 2, who is our girly girl/princess; and Kaleb, 9 months, who always brings a smile to your face. Joshua is into the Real Estate business and is finishing up two big projects and because of him; I get to stay home with my kids and try to keep up with them.


We currently live in Roy, but are building a house in Layton. I am excited to be moving back to my home town, closer to family, friends and Joshua's work.

I love to see the updates and here how everyone is doing. You can check out my blog at http://joshuaandshanna.blogspot.com/

Mandy (Eisenbarth) Cosper

Hello All! It's so fun to hear what you've been doing! This is such a great idea.

After graduation I attended Weber State and pursued a degree in Business Administration. I worked at an Investment Bank for 4 years as the Assistant to the Vice President. I ran into a childhood friend (Curtis Cosper) and fell madly in love with him. We were married May 1, 2003. (Sorry, I'm a traitor...he went to Northridge).


We currently have 2 kids. Kylee (who is 20 months old) and Cannon (who just came into our family on the 24th of April). We have lived all over Utah our 5 years of being married, but have finally found a great house in West Point and plan on staying there for awhile. Curtis owns his own business doing warranty repair work on bathtubs and I work 2 days a week at the LDS Church Office Building in the ICS department and absolutely love it. The only thing I love more is being home with my kids the rest of the week.

Would love to hear from you, but if not I'm really looking forward to catching up even more at the reunion!

Katie (Barlow) Kindred

After High-school, I attended college at Utah StateUniversity. While there I had a great time making newfriends and enjoying old friendships. During my years in Logan, before getting married, I had JamieCunningham, Janie Maughn, Lichelle Anderson, and Maggie Hickman as roommates and made a lot of fun memories with all of them. During my time at Utah State, I studied Graphic Design, eventually graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Following graduation, I worked for a few years at Utah State in that field. Since we had our first child, in 2004, I've been lucky enough to be a full-time Mom while still working a little from home as a freelance designer.

Steve Kindred and I were married in March, 2001, in the Salt Lake Temple. Steve is really fun and I'm excited for you to meet him! For the past two years we havebeen living in Hanover, New Hampshire while Steve hasbeen earning a Masters of Business Administration from Dartmouth College. After graduating in June, we will be moving to Denver, Colorado where Steve will start anew job at Janus Capital Group.

We have two children, Miles (4) and Ava (18 months). Miles loves dinosaurs, Thomas the train, and Cheetahs. Ava loves babies, breaking Miles' train tracks, and making messes. They keep us really busy but we love it. Other than chasing my kids I fill up my time with friends, work, sewing, scrap-booking, reading and recently I started to teach a Spinning class (type ofindoor cycling) at a local gym. We have a family blogpage that you are welcome to check out if interested. The address is: katieandstevekindred.blogspot.com

Maggie (Hickman) Ray

After graduation, I followed the crowd to Utah State. I met my husband, Jason, through a friend and we were married in March of 2001. During my last two years at USU, I was the head girls soccer coach at Bear River High School. I graduated in May of 2003 with a degree in Physical Education.

Jason earned his degree in Civil Engineering in May of 2005. He is now an officer in the Civil Engineering Corp of the US Navy. We are currently stationed in Lemoore, CA (near Fresno.....no where near a beach). We are planning to move to the Ventura, CA area (near Santa Barbara....there's a beach!) at the beginning of next year. We aren't sure how long we'll do the military thing. It's hard to be away from family, but we're learning a lot and enjoying our adventures here in Cali.

We have two adorable children. Lucy will be 5 in August and is getting excited to start kindergarten. Graham will be 2 in August and is fluent in at least 3 languages, but not in English (he jabbers a lot, but we have no idea what he's saying).

I'm lucky to be able to stay home and take care of the kids. I try to keep busy training for small races here and there. I've discovered triathlons and enjoy training for those events. We love our little ward here in Lemoore and it keeps us very busy. We love traveling back to Utah for vacation and we get so excited for visitors that venture out to see us.

Hopefully I can make it to the reunion. I've really enjoyed reading all of the updates! Bye for now!

"AJ" Anna Jean (Stewart) Fowers

After graduating LHS in ’98 I went to Dixie State College for a year, and then came home and finished my Dental Assisting program at the DATC. After which I worked as an Orthodontist Assistant and attended Weber State. I met my husband Seth, a fellow Wildcat and we were married in 2000. I then took a position at Rock Hotel Dental where I assisted the greatest Dentists on earth, Dr. Scott Corry and Dr. Craig Packer. In 2002 we moved to Minnesota so my husband could attend Air Traffic Control School.

Upon Graduation we were hired by the FAA to work at the Denver Air Traffic Control Center, located in Longmont Colorado. I worked as an Orthodontist Assistant, for a few years until we had our first of 3 children. We just had our third child on April 15, 2008.

Life is full and fun with our little family, we love being in Colorado it is a great place to live. We love to run, hike, garden, camp, Jeep off road, fish, and travel, especially to Utah to visit our family and friends.

Lichelle (Anderson) Perry

After graduation, I finished my degree at the DATC in Dental Assisting and then headed up to USU (seemed to be a popular place for LHS grads!) I loved Utah State! I met my husband there and we were married the end of 2000. I graduated in May of 2002 in Elementary Education. He graduated December of 2002 in Mechanical Engineering.

We have 3 fun and energetic kids. I keep busy coaching my daughter's soccer team, playing in a women's soccer league & teaching a cardio class in an effort to stay in shape, making & selling cute things for girls hair, digital scrapbooking & blogging, & hanging out with my kids & hubby. I still love Swedish Fish, but have traded in my '85 Chevy truck for a mini van! I do have a blog, but it is private, so if you want to see more of what we are up to, send me an e-mail: sweedishfish@excite.com.

I can't wait to see more updates of everyone else, so please send them in today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! At times I can't believe its been 10 years already and other times I can!

After high school, I moved to Logan to attend USU. I was only able togo for one semester then I decided to stay in Logan even though Icouldn't afford school anymore. Then almost 4 years later, I finallygave up on the singles scene and moved back home to Layton in 2002.About 2 months later, I met my husband Jake. Originally from Barstow,CA, and had been stationed here at Hill AFB in the 388th Ammo Squadafter Tech School. We got married in June of 2003. Two years later,in 2005, we had our little monster boy, Alex, who is now 2 1/2 yearsold. We also have two cats, Keevan and Maisey. Jake is now a Ssgt andwe live on base in the new housing that they have just built. Icurrently am a full-time stay at home mom and military wife.

After high school I spent 2 years at Snow College while I tried to decide what exciting career I wanted to explore. I got my EMT certification and worked on ambulances for a short while until I attended Weber State University and earned my degree in Athletic Training/ Sports Medicine. I moved to Alabama for graduate school where I met my husband Chris Scott, and I haven't been to Utah since (except for Christmas once.) Besides adjusting to a redneck way of life, living through 2 hurricanes, countless tornadoes and learning the proper way to say Y'awll. I have worked for the University of Alabama in Huntsville as an athletic trainer for the past 3 years and love being part of the athletes well being, and always having a court side seat to all athletic events. My husband Chris works as a police officer and fire fighter/medic here in Huntsville, and part time in a small country, backwoods town of Falkville. He enjoys his job although some days it scares me to death.

I won't be able to make the reunion I am expecting our first child due August 2nd. So come see us in the South- just not in the hot summer! Roll Tide!!!

Wow, where has the past ten years gone? Oh yeah,LIFE.

In the fall of 1998 I moved up to Logan and started attending Utah State University. In January of 1999 Imet my husband, Joseph. We didn’t officially startdating until March and by June we were married.

For the next 2 years we both worked and went to school. In May 2001 we both graduated with Bachelors degrees. I graduated in Family and Human Development and Joseph graduated in Marketing. We then moved from Logan to Clearfield where Joseph started his career with State Farm Insurance. Two months later (June 2001) we had our first child Brigham. He is now almost 7. In 2002 we bought a house and moved to Clinton.

November 2003 we had a baby girl, Kyler, (now 4). In August 2004 our job moved us to South Jordan, which is where we are currently.

March 2006 we began the process of adopting two kids from Russia. After spending 9 days in Russia on one trip and 4 weeks on a second we came home with Daniel (now 5) and Katya (almost 3) on April 5, 2007.

October 2007, I found a talent in making hairbows. I now make and sell hairbows, because I guess I’m just not busy enough.

I enjoy being a full time mom. I spend my spare time scrapbooking and blogging. Who would have ever thought that 10 years later I’d have 4 kids and be driving a suburban.

After graduating I attended Weber off and on. In 2004 I met Jarad Hardy thru an LDS website and on June 25, 2004 we were married in the Bountiful temple. November of 2005 we welcomed a son who we named Easton. We currently live in an apartment on the top of Myers Mortuary in Brigham City. It is a very quiet place to live and living here we get to do a lot of interesting things. Jarad will be graduating from Weber State this May as a history teacher and hopefully we can move onto the next chapter in life. I currently work for Box Elder School District as an aide in a functional skills unit. I love my job!!! Once life settles down I am hoping to go back to school and get a degree in either speech pathology or occupational therapy.
