TEN YEARS LATER: P-Z

Kristen Pantone Wright-- I went to college at Weber State University and completed my bachelor's degree in psychology. I went into my Master's program shortly after for mental health counseling. I have been a Liscenced Professional Counselor for three years. I just started my own business called Body Luv Solutions. I do mentoring and training workshops and retreats to help people with their body, weight, and health issues. I also work at McKay Dee on the adult inpatient psychiatric unit doing therapy. I love helping people and seeing them transform their lives!
I started dating Gage in my senior year of high school. We have been together even since and have basically grown up together through all the fun, yet confusing and difficult times as young kids attempting to be adults. Every year has been better than the last and I anticipate next year to be even better than this year. Throughout the years I have done some stupid things, made a lot of mistakes, and been grateful for every one of them for the experiences and lessons I've learned. We have been married now for 7 years and live in a home in Washington Terrace that we bought from Gage's grandma. We have our 8 year old dog Taz who is our kid, and we are hoping to get pregnant soon.
I spend my time working hard and enjoying life as much as possible. I love biking, swimming, yoga, skiing (water and snow), running, weight lifting, dancing, sky diving, hiking, camping, going to concerts, attending seminars and workshops, time with friends and family...anything fun, new and outdoors and I am in! I keep myself open to the new experiences and love doing things I have never done before...any ideas?

Natalie Petersen Bennion-- Well let's see. Since high school I went to Weber State for 2 years. In the middle of my 2nd year I met my soon-to-be husband at our singles ward. We dated for about 10 months. We got married in May of 2003 and in Aug of 03 we moved to Memphis TN so my husband could finish up his schooling. We had our first child a girl in 2005. We moved back to Hurricane in 2007 where we had our second child a son. We had our third child another girl in 2009. Other than that not much is going on.

Jamie Potter Shaffer-- Well, several things have happened in my life. But, of course everyone says that. From being the shy girl in high school I have defiantly been on a roller coaster ride. After high school I got married and lived up in logan. The man I married, needless to say was cruel and abusive. I left him 3 months pregnant, after a grueling court process. I was finally divorced. Not many people are married and divorced so quickly. But without this man entering my life, I wouldn't be blessed with a beautiful little boy. After my son turned the age of two he was diagnosed with autism. This has been a challenge, and a blessing in my life.
Shortly after my son was diagnosed I went to school and graduated in medical specialties. With this degree I was able to get a job at intermountain pediatrics; inside Mckay Dee hospital. As I worked there I moved from Liberty, to south weber, to Ogden, to Riverdale. I wouldn't say I have moved the most compared to some people, but I did stay pretty consistent. After 4 years went by, working; I came upon and old friend on facebook that I went to junior high and high school with. Robert Shaffer, we rekindled are friendship through the magical workings of today's technology. Shortly after we were married, there's nothing like marring one of your best friends. We moved to Tooele county to be closer to family, and now we are expecting a baby. We are so happy and excited.

Justin Rogers-- I went on a mission to Paraguay in South America. I took a job with the federal government working for the Army as a civilian fire fighter. I currently work at the Tooele Army Depot Fire Department. I also serve my country one weekend a month in the Air Force Reserves, until called to active duty for deployment. My temporary military locations have been San Antonio Texas, San Angelo Texas, and Kirkuk Iraq. I will be completing my initial enlistment in the military this next year and will be able to hold my head high for doing my part to keep our country safe and protected. I am still working on my college degree. I am a student at Weber State University studying construction management. I am scheduled to complete my Bachelors of Applied Science in Construction Management Technologies next fall with a minor in Spanish. I have been married for almost 3 years to Nicole Parry. We recently had our first child. His name is Jake Justin Rogers and he is just over a month old.

Heather Schoss Jacobs-- Since high school I have mostly been in school. I finally graduated in 2009...8 years. I received my bachelors from Weber State University with a BS in Accounting. I went on from there to get a MBA with an emphasis in International Business from Park University out of Missouri.
I got married in 2008 to Jay Jacobs. He is originally from OK but was in the Air Force for 6 years. He got out of the military and got a job at Hill AFB, which is were I work as an Budget Analyst. We meet at work and got married 2 years later. We lived in Roy before moving to Farr West. We have 2 boys, Justin & Jordan. Jordan is our newest addition born July 5, 2011.

Tyler Schvaneveldt-- I am going to do the best I can to summarize the last 10 years of my life. Right out of High School I attended a semester of College at Weber State University taking some general classes. In 2002 I left to Wisconsin to serve an LDS Mission for 2 years. When I returned home from serving a mission I had to answer some of life's most difficult questions. I decided to go back to Weber State to finish College. While attending Weber State I met my beautiful wife. After dating for about a year and a half we got married (she is a Roy Royal so it took a little convincing for her to marry a Warrior... haha). Both of us continued to attend Weber State to pursue our degrees. After completing my generals I decided I wanted to get a Business Degree in Accounting. I found a job that allowed me to gain experience in my field while I continued to attend school. I worked full time and went to school full time so I don't have a lot of real exciting things to put down for this time of my life. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Accounting in 2009 and went right back to Weber State to complete a Masters degree. I received a Masters in Accounting with an emphasis in Tax in the spring of 2010. Let me just say I am more than happy I have finished this part of my life. I found a different job after receiving a Masters degree and am now working for an IT company doing their accounting. My wife and I had our first child in March of this year and are excited to finally be in this stage of our lives. We had a boy and named him Tydan. My wife received her degree from Weber State in Elementary Education. She has been a 2nd grade Teacher at Plain City Elementary for a couple of years and this year she will be teaching part time as a 3rd grade Teacher for the same school. We also have a family pet who is an English Bulldog named Snoop.

Crystal Shackley Syme-

lives in Roy, Utah with her husband of 6 years and 2 kids.

Tarra Sillitoe Tippets-- I have been married for 8 years, and have two kids, Jacie is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year, and Braxton is 3. I am only a few classes away from my associates degree at Weber State University, sad I know after 8 years, but I am still excited about it! I have worked at Acres Market, Lee's Market and Treehouse Children's Museum, and am now a stay at home mom. I have traveled to the east coast a couple times, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, that whole area. Most of our vacations are to St. George, it is so beautiful there. In high school I enjoyed doing pottery and art, and I still do now, when I get the time. I plan on staying in this area for a long time, who knows maybe my kids will also go to Weber High!

Jaclyn Skeen Since graduating from Weber, I have attended two colleges, Weber State University and Utah State University. I earned two Associate’s Degrees: General Studies and Nursing. I was married for four and a half years, no currently divorced. I have one five-year-old daughter, Jenna, who is my life. She will be starting Kindergarten this fall. I am currently employed as a Registered Nurse at McKay-Dee Hospital in the GI lab. I have been a nurse for five and a half years. I have lived in North Ogden, Logan, Connecticut, Pleasant View, and now South Ogden. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors in warm weather, mountain biking, hiking, going to baseball games, going to Lagoon with my daughter, traveling, baking, and watching/quoting movies.

Maren Sontag Cook-- After graduating from Weber High I started working in Ogden and went to school at Weber State. I met and married my husband (Daniel) in 2003. We lived on the east bench in Ogden for a while and then moved out to North Ogden for a bit. I graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Magnetic Resonance Technology and began working at McKay-Dee Hospital. We bought a house out in Roy in 2007. Our first little boy (Braden) was born in January 2008 and our second (Ashton) was born this last fall (September 2010). I stopped working when Ashton was born and now I am enjoying being a stay-at-home mom!

Sheree Smith Jensen-- After high school I married a guy. We moved to CA. He deployed and I continued with school. When he returned to the states after Afghanistan we divorced. Best decision ever. I started nursing school. I met Dane on a Blind date. I told myself I would not date seriously for one year after ending things with my ex. Got into an accident and I was attending Physical Therapy. This woman there that I was talking with said her brother would be perfect date for me. I decided I had never been on a blind date, and it would be an experience either way. So Dane called me and asked me out. It was a year to the day that things were over with my ex. So we went out with his entire family because his ex had a bad time getting along with them. He figured it was too hard so this time he would make sure everyone got along before feelings were formed. Well it wasn't half way through the date and his niece spilled water and ice cream all over me. Then She started to smell. I asked her mommy if she was potty trained or needed a diaper change. She was potty trained. We asked her if she had an accident and she said yea. I picked her up off of my lap and she pointed to the floor with the water. She had just tooted, but man I thought my date was over. Well we figured out she is just a stinky girl (still is). Since then Dane Jensen and I have been together.
Then I was in my last semester of Nursing School. We decided we were going to get married (we actually almost eloped my 3rd semester.) He got a job in Boise. So we were planning the wedding from long distance, and still no ring. So I came up to Boise to househunt during spring break. His brother was in Wizard of Oz playing the scarecrow. During intermission he was skipping down the yellow brick road and tripped over a box. He looked around and asked whose it was. Dane stood up and in front of a packed audience asked me to marry him. That was March 17. We were married on May 11, I graduated May 12, and moved to Idaho May 14. Here we are. And that is the story of How Dane and Sheree met and got married.
We just welcomed our baby on June 3rd to our family. Ainzlee is precious and after many years we are happy she is here with us.

Sheena Speechly Harris-- I stayed at home for school and attended Weber State University. I moved out when I got accepted in the the RN program at WSU. I am currently a Pediatric Nurse at McKay Dee Hospital and love my job. I met my husband (Nick Harris) through my cousin and we have been married now for 4 years. I got pregnant with my little girl (Autumn) six months after being married it was a shock to both of us, but we wouldn't change it. We are just getting ready to move outside of Las Vegas for my husbands work and I will continue to work as a Pediatric nurse at a local hospital in Las Vegas. Since I have graduated I have been to Europe twice, Mexico, Hawaii, back East, Florida, needless to say we love to travel its our favorite thing to do.

Emily Spicker Price Trevor and I have been married 2 ½ years. We currently live in Harrisville. We do not have any kids as of yet… but probably soon. Trevor is a web developer and finished college before I met him. I wasn’t quite as dedicated, but I am finishing up my Bachelor’s in Psychology and will graduate next Spring and plant to continue on to get my Master’s in School Counseling. WE have had a blast these past few years. We love to travel and have been to Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Hawaii, New York, California all within the last year. We love to work in the yard, spend time outdoors, and just hand out with family and friends. We have a great life together!

Ryan Starks Shortly after graduation, I left to serve a two-year mission in Ecuador where I learned Spanish and developed a great love for the people. Upon returning, I enrolled at Weber State University where I met my wife Amy, a microbiology major who graduated from Northridge High in 2002. During my time at Weber State, I served as Student Body President. Later I went on to get a Master’s degree in Public Administration from BYU. Between my first and second years of grad school, I had the opportunity to go to Ghana for three weeks and consult with small businesses. Upon returning from Africa, my family moved to Washington DC to do a summer internship with the US Government Accountability Office. I currently work as a budget and policy analyst at the Utah Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. My wife, Amy, and I are the proud parent of two little boys—Ashton, four years; and Dylan, two years. We are expecting a little girl on Thanksgiving Day.

Mike Stoddard-- After graduation I went on a mission to Santa Rosa, California. When I got home from that I started school at Weber St. and got married in August of 2006. Around May of 2008 I dropped out of Weber St. and started flight training in helicopters. I finished up my training in November of 2010 and got a job with Whirlybird Helicopters. I still currently work for Whirlybird as a flight instructor but also do a lot of your flights and photo flights. in January of 2010 my wife and I welcomed our son into this world and we named him Duke. I currently still live in North Ogden with my wife, Duke and our 2 year old pit bull Knox. I hope by the end of the year I will be out of Utah flying the bigger and better helicopters.

Mallory Stoker Steele-- Shortly after graduating from Weber High, I moved to Logan and began attending Utah State. While at Utah State I focused my studies on becoming a Dental Hygienist. At USU I became a True Aggie and met my future husband, Nate Steele.

They are my world! I dont know really what to add. My life has been pretty unexciting to most people. Just love being a mom and I love LOVE to scrapbook and make cards. Anything crafty really. I love to bake and make treats, not so much love the baking, but love peoples reactions when they love something I made. Haha.

We moved to Fairfax, VA in the summer of 2008 for Tyson’s Master’s program in history at George Mason University and I got a job teaching 6th grade. Summer 2009 we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy, Matthew. Living in the DC suburbs was a fun adventure, but after two years, the Master’s was completed and we moved to Woodland, CA—where we now live. Tyson is working on a PhD in history at UCDavis, with the goal of becoming a professor. I am a stay at home mom and thoroughly enjoy my life.

Heather Tippets Bradford-- After graduation I kept going up to WSU (I started just before our senior year) and finishing Dental Assisting classes at the OWATC. After working dumb odd jobs, I started working for a dentist that I am still currently working for (just as a fill in now) I am so glad that I was working there since that is where Keith came in and we met (again.) I was much more shy in high school and didn't dare to ask him when I wanted to. I am not that shy anymore and decided that I would ask him out, but I didn't even have to. He asked first!! 6 months later (October 2005) we were married.
I have worked full time to put Keith through school ever since we were married right up until we had our little guy Carsen in Aug 2009 and have been a stay at home mom ever since :)
Keith is Finishing up his Masters of Mechanical Engineering at USU and we will be done in December!! YAY!!!

I have had the opportunity to go to Brazil and I finally made it to Disnyeland along with many other small trips here and there with my family. I guess you could say I'm where I thought I'd be in 10 years, I love my life.

Brooklin Vernieuw Healy-- After high school, I attended Utah State University for 3 years where I met my husband of 9 years, Brian Healy, from Salt Lake. When he graduated from USU we moved to Bountiful, Utah and I transferred to Weber State where I finished my senior year of school and received my Bachelor's degree in Literary Studies and Psychology in 2005. I worked for the State of Utah for 2 ½ years, until I left the office to start a new job as a mother. We lived in Bountiful for three years until an opportunity came up that took us to the East Coast. In 2007 we moved to Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington DC. We thought we’d be back home in Utah after a couple of years—but nearly four years later we recently bought a house and call Reston, Virginia our home…. for a while at least. Brian and I have two kids—a daughter, Reagan, who is 4 ½ and a son, Jon, who is 2. For now, I’m doing the mommy thing and loving life.

Jenny Walker Story-- After graduation, I attended Weber State for a few years working on my Associates Degree. During that time I met my husband, Jacob Story (not the one we all went to school with). We dated for two years and were married in the Salt Lake Temple in January 2005. We bought a house in North Ogden in 2006 and have been here since. I worked for three years with Dr. Pobanz doing Orthodontics and loved it, and knew I wanted to do something in the dental field. In 2006, I was able to open my own photography business, Storybook Photography. We were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Maddyn, in September 2008. At that time I was able to quit my day job and just do photography, and since I had more free time I decided to go back to school and finish my degree. I was accepted into the Dental Hygiene program at Weber State in 2009, and just graduated in April with my Bachelors Degree. I am currently working at three different dental offices and am loving it. Life has been great since graduation. We are planning on building a home and growing our family in the near future as well! Life is good!

We spent the first years of our marriage in St. George while my husband finished his MBA. We now live in the Salt Lake area with our two boys, Ralston (3 1/2 yrs.) and Spencer (1 1/2 yrs.).

John Wolthuis-- A lot has happened in the last ten years, I left on a LDS mission less than 3 months after graduating from Weber High. I served in the New Zealand Wellington Mission from Aug. 2001- Aug. 2003, which has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I returned home, went to school at Weber State for a semester, then transferred to BYU-Idaho where I met my beautiful wife Brittney. We were married in December 2004. I transferred back to Weber State and graduated in December 2006 with a Bachelor's of Integrated Studies Degree with area's of emphasis in Chemistry, Zoology and Sales and Service Technology. I was on my way to Dental School when I was offered a job by my father-in-law and that offer was just too good to refuse. I moved to Portland, OR the day after graduation and immediately started working at West Coast Container, Inc. Brittney and I have one son, Lincoln, who was born in October 2010. He has been a great blessing in our life. We live in West Linn, Oregon, and have spent a lot of time traveling, going to different sporting events and just enjoying life!

Katie Wood Deamer-- After graduation, I went to the ATC for Cosmetology. Got married in 2003 to Jeremy Deamer, who I am still married to. Our 8 year anniversary is this weekend. I started at a salon that fall, but moved and have worked at Split Enz Salon, for about 7 years. We have two girls Reese (4) and Rylee (18 months). When I had my second baby, my husband built me a salon in my house. So now I work right behind my home, (Katie's Salon). We have lived in 4 different places, all within about a half a mile, and have gotten closer and closer to my in-laws each move. In North Ogden. We currently live two houses up the road, and right next door to his grandpa, in a house my husband completely gutted and renovated almost completely by himself. Besides doing hair, and being a mom, I've started making and decorating cakes as a hobby on the side. We've been to Yellowstone and Disneyland a bunch of times. New York and Boston have been my favorite trips we've taken so far, my next goal is to make it outside the country. My husband has been quite a few times without me. I had never flown on a plane before we even got married, which was pathetic, but we've had some fun trips.
Did I think I'd be here in 10 years, I guess so. I think I assumed I'd be a mom, just not sure I realized how happy I would be doing it. That's about it I guess.

Deneal Yeip Schmidt-- Attended Utah state university and majored in flight technology engineering in the professional pilot program. Moved to Oregon in 2004 and started my career as a corporate pilot. Traveling was my passion and I figured what better way to do it then on someone else's dollar. The first 4 yrs. of my career I was blessed to travel the world flying and working as program managers for various contracts. In 2008 I was offered a job that allowed me to take a position flying for a family in Portland. Wanting a little breather I took the job and have been flying for them ever since.
In July 2010 I married the love of my life and we just celebrated our 1 yr. Anniversary. We live in the Portland metro area

Ben and I worked together at Arbys in Farr West during HS and started dating after graduation in 2001 (We never knew each other from HS only from working together) We continued to date and then Ben got his mission call to Adelaide Australia. He left for the 2 years and while he was gone I moved to the Washington DC area and went to nursing school. He got back and we decided we still liked each other so I finished up nursing school out there and moved back to Ut. We continued dating while Ben was working and I was finishing up my nursing degree at Stevens Henager here in Ogden. We got married in the Ogden temple on May 24 2008. I currently work at Ogden Regional Medical Center on the surgical unit and Ben works for the United States Postal Service.

We currently live in Smithfield Utah and i am working as a dentist at Smithfield dental Care.

Brady Hess-- I played football at Snow College for one year after high school. I chose to serve a mission and was called to New Jersey where I participated in a "graduate school of life" of sorts. Up to that point it was the greatest two years of my life, and has since served as something I lean on to define who I am. I can't say enough about this experience but I will stop there.
After my mission I returned home, decided I loved Utah, and stayed close to home attending Weber State University. I met a cute girl from North Ogden, Stephanie Mitton, a fellow Weber High graduate a few years our junior, and married her in the Bountiful Temple in 2005. I graduated from WSU in 2006 in Health Administration and we built a little house in Plain City in 2008 and have been there ever since. Both Stephanie and I work in the Health Care industry. In October 2009 Stephanie gave birth to the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen, and now she gets to spend more time at home with her. We have been very blessed and feel bad we aren't there to share in the fun with everyone tonight. Hopefully, we will be able to see you next time.

Leah Daryl Hinchcliff Miller-- After I graduated high school I had a lot of crappy jobs, I worked in fast food, telemarketing. I also dabbled in some modeling. When I was 20 I met the man of my dreams (Tim Miller) and we got married in the Bountiful temple in September, 2004. He was from Colorado and had gotten into graduate school in Colorado so right after we got married we moved to Colorado. We were married for two and a half years in 2007 when I gave birth to my oldest Caleb. (4 1/2) Almost three years ago I decided to change my name, it was something I had always wanted to do so I finally got up the courage and decided to do it. I let my husband help me name myself, which was actually kinda cool. I decided on the name Leah because it was always a name I had liked. I kept my middle name as Daryl though as to not offend my parents.
I had another son in 2010 his name is Gavin. (16 months) I am a Stay at home mom and I love it. My family is my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I met my beautiful wife Candice in 2007 and we were married in the LosAngeles LDS temple in November of that year.

We moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan where I went to school and received a masters degree in public health. In my program I focused on designing and evaluating programs and tools to promote healthy behaviors in the workplace to increase productivity and reduce employer health care costs. After graduating, we moved back to Utah and I have since been working with health programs for a refugee resettlement agency. Our first son, Wesley, was born last December and he has been an awesome and fun addition to our family. We really enjoy traveling, being in the outdoors, and hanging out with family and friends.

Ryan Laterza-- After graduating HS, I studied electrical engineering and biomedical engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

While there I studied abroad in England for 6 months and walked on the university basketball team and played college ball in England. Throughout college I worked part time teaching tennis and stayed active playing intramural sports and skiing. After graduating college, I went to medical school at the University of Colorado at Denver and continued to work as a tennis pro. While in medical school I worked with a cardiologist to help invent a biomedical device to aid in the diagnosis of heart murmurs. I graduated from medical school last year, and I’m currently doing my residency in anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and aspire to complete a fellowship in cardiac anesthesiology.

Came back nearly finished school and now I work in Salt Lake I dream about being a cover band singer and getting a second degree in accounting after of course finishing the first one... um the story continues :)

Josh Loud-- After graduation I spent a semester at BYU before leaving for my mission to southern Germany and Austria. Upon returning, I spent two months working as a substitute teacher for the Weber school district, so I had the chance to visit Weber High a few times and meet with some of my old teachers. I went back to BYU in the summer of 2004 and met my wife Shelby the following January. We were married in August of 2005. I graduated from BYU in 2008 with a double major in Economics and Political Science and a minor in mathematics. I started a PhD program in economics at Stanford in the fall of 2008 and expect to graduate in 2013. We have one daughter, Aubrey, who was born in September of 2009.

Brady Mock-- After high school I served a mission to Columbus Ohio from 2002-2004. I married Laurel Wolthuis in 2006 and we had our daughter, Paisley Jane, in January of 2009. Shortly after she was born I graduated from Weber State in Zoology and we moved from Ogden to Pittsburgh, PA. I am currently in my 3rd year of medical school at the University of Pittsburgh. I enjoy wake boarding, learning, camping, exploring the east coast, and sports.

Melissa Moore Oholendt-- Married a boy who was my first kiss, moved to Minneapolis for law school (him), started a wedding photography business (me), added a no-no-bad-dog named Gunnar to the family (us) and lived happily ever after (so far).

Mickenzie Moore Brooks-- The fall after graduation I left for Arizona to attend Arizona State University. The following year I attended BYU Hawaii, then went back to ASU and finished my degree in Business Marketing in 2005. I met my husband while attending ASU (he is from Arizona). We were married in July of 2004. Following graduation I worked for an online marketing agency for a few years. We moved back to Utah in 2007 and had our first child, Lincoln. I am currently a stay and home mom and just gave birth to my second child, Anya Marie, 3 weeks ago.

Holly Morphet
-- Remember that I answered I'd been to the Weber High track 50+ times? Getting my body and mind in shape has led me to the place I am now. I'm about to go back to school--just figured out yesterday that I have been awarded a grant. I'll also be working as Taylor Canyon Elementary's art teacher and continuing teaching at Ogden Blue on 25th Street, while trying to find time to work on revising a book I've written about new experiences. If anyone's ever wondered what giant Columbian queen ants taste like, I've found out. Finally, I've found a special niche in the art world with portraits made using rubber stamps, and plan on doing my first serious series to be submitted to art galleries in and outside of Utah.

Megan Murray Gibson-- Where to start...I guess ten years ago I would've been lifeguarding and taking my senior trip with friends to Lake Powell. Then I headed to Dixie State College in St. George where I finished my Associates Degree in a year and stayed down there to work that summer. By the way, I love St. George and hope to end up there someday permanently. Then switching gears to the other side of the state I headed to Utah State University for my Bachelors in Elementary Education. So after my first year there, I worked in Alaska for the summer for the tour company, Holland America. I would ride the tour trains serving the tourists who traveled from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back again. Alaska was gorgeous and you all need to make it up there sometime. After my second year at USU I took a job in Carmel Valley, California as a camp counselor at Douglas Ranch Camps. What a beautiful area (near Monterey) and such a fun experience! After that with only my student teaching left to do I decided to student teach in Houston, Texas as the option became available when a recruiter attended USU and mentioned it and the availability of job placements after our student teaching. I wasn't crazy about staying in Texas forever, but four months sounded fun. I'd never been there and am always up for an adventure and a chance to see somewhere new. So a few of us headed down. My four months turned out to be much longer, though, as I met a very lively and fun returned missionary named Zach Gibson in the Singles Ward the first week. Needless to say, after I graduated, I decided to stay on teaching the rest of the year and Zach and I were married that summer of 2005 in the Salt Lake Temple. We've traveled together on a cruise to Progresso, Cozumel, and Belize. We've also been to New York; Veracruz, Mexico and all throughout the southern states. So four months turned into 5 years there in Houston living in Humble, Spring, and Pasadena as my husband worked on his Chiropractic Degree and I taught 5th, 6th, and 8th grade math coaching volleyball, basketball, and track the last three years. I had a blast teaching and coaching, but boy was I busy. Teachers definitely don't get paid what they're worth and for what they go through. It was at the end of my 5th year that our daughter, Andi, arrived and I've been able to stay home with her for the past two years loving every minute. In the mean time Zach decided he wanted to be an ER Doctor instead of a chiropractor and so we've been living in Fort Worth, Texas the last two years while he's been attending med school. We're due in two weeks with our second child, a baby boy. We've got quite a few more years to go in school, but we're so happy. Wish we could be there with you guys to celebrate and hope all is well with you. Feel free to visit Texas any time. Who knows? You may never leave. Lots of love...

Celeste Natter Whipple-- My husband and I just celebrated our 9th anniversary earlier this month and it has been eventful. We have three beautiful angels who keeps us on our toes constantly. Nikki is 5 and starting kindergarten this year, Jenny is 4 and loves to dress up as a princess and Brooke is 2 creating such havoc its all I can do to just make it to bed at night. As full as they make my life I am also going to be student teaching this fall in the Brigham City elementary schools so that I can graduate this fall.

Adam Olson-- In the last ten years I served in the Tuscan Arizona mission. I married Breanne Miller (we met at BYU-she's from Dallas, TX) in May 2006 I graduated for BYU April 07 with a degree in Economics, and then we lived in Austin, TX for a year while I worked on a Master's Degree in Accounting at the University of Texas. After graduation, we headed back to Utah, and lived in Heber City for a little over two and half years where I worked in Park City for an accounting firm. We've recently moved to College Station, TX where I am working on a PhD in accounting at Texas A& M with an emphasis in tax research. I hope to be a professor and researcher once I am finished with school. We plan to be here for 4 years. In the mix of all of this, we've had two boys, Tucker born in Austin August 2008 and Charles "Charlie" born November 2010. Life is good and we stay busy.

Megan Overman Dinsdale--
after graduating from Weber, I attended Dixie State College where I graduated in 2003 with my Associates of Science. I then transferred to Utah State & met my husband, Ross Dinsdale. Even though he graduated from Fremont, we still got married in September of 2004. I graduated from Utah State in 2006 with a degree in Health Education with an emphasis in Community Health. I worked for the Tobacco Prevention & Control Program at the Utah Department of Health in Salt Lake & managed the Curves in Hyrum, Utah until December of that year we had out first child, Annabelle. The next Spring, after my husband also graduated from Utah State, we left the Happy Valley of the North for the Happy Valley of the South. We now live in Lehi, Utah and have been here for 4 and a half years. We also added to our family when Evan was born in June of 2009. I am a stay at home mom with my two kids and I love it...most days.

Keith Bradford-- After graduating from weber high I worked full time at NudySuits until February of 2002 when I left on my mission to Budapest, Hungary. I returned home from Hungary in January of 2004 and immediately started working in the ski shop at Powder Mountain. Soon after the ski season ended I found work as a finish carpenter and began attending Weber State. I worked as a finish carpenter for more than 3 years working on some of the biggest and most beautiful homes I've ever seen! I now really miss woodworking and hope to have my own wood shop someday. My time at Weber State wasn't quite as fun, simple, or straight forward as work but eventually I found something I really wanted to study...Engineering.
Shortly after deciding to study engineering I met Heather Tippets one Saturday morning at the dentist's office...she was working as a dental assistant. We dated for 6 months and were married October 2005. We lived in North Ogden while I continued working and school at Weber and Heather worked full time. In August 2007 we moved to Logan so I could finish my degree in mechanical engineering at Utah State University.
Unfortunately we're still in Logan and still going to school. After I graduated in 2010...pathetic, I know. I decided to stick around to finish a masters degree which I will complete this December. However, it's been amazing living in Logan and we've had some great times. The best of which was when our first, and only so far, child, Carsen, was born in August 2009.

David Bryner-- Not a whole lot has gone on in the last ten years. I served an LDS mission for two months in Nebraska before falling ill and having to return home. I got a job with the Church and worked for a few years before enrolling at Weber State. Unfortunately I am not able to attend school full time, so it is taking me a long time to get through. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering Technology, and may go for more depending on how I feel if I ever get done. I have been married for three and a half years, and live in Ogden. I'd send some pictures, but my wife is afraid of the camera, so I don't have any. Hope everyone has a good time at the reunion. Maybe I'll be able to make the next one.

Camille Buswell Ferrin-- Graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Social Studies Education from Utah State University. Worked in Jackson Hole and loved every second of it.

Moved to Utah County one year ago so my husband could get his PhD at BYU. i have spent many hours running, hiking, and playing outside with my kids. Life is good!!

Heather Childs-- After graduation, I was a nanny for a year in outside of Zurich, Switzerland. After I came home, I started college. I started at Weber State, and then transferred down to the University of Utah. I got my bachelor's degree in Nursing with a minor in German, and have been working as a nurse ever since. I work at Mckay-Dee in the Float Pool, which means I basically work on almost all of the floors. Over the last 10 years, I have been working, finishing school, and traveling as much as possible. I am lucky to have been able to see many different places. I am dating an amazing guy right now, who is actually German, and his name is Marc. The picture I am submitting, is a picture of us. :)

Tim Cook— has a wife, Kim and a son—Gavin… and another babe on the way.

Staci Critchlow Gaines-- can not believe that 10 years has come and gone. It felt like just yesterday I was getting up and going to school. Instead I get up get the kids ready for daycare and head to work. Let's rewind though and see how we got there. After graduation, I attended Weber State University for 3 years. No degree though. My life had another path. I started working at Payless ShoeSource part time, got promoted to full time and then manager. I have been with the company for 9 years now and have worked in 18 different stores. 6 years ago I met my husband Justin through some friends. We hiked Mt. Timp in the middle of the night. I didn't think he would want to talk to me again after that night because I cried....A LOT! It was icy and scary. We started dating and at first he bugged me but eventually I figured out we were meant to be. We got married July 22, 2006 in the Salt Lake Temple. 2 months later we found out we were pregnant (whoops....I guess you need to take birth control everyday). Broc joined our family in May, 2007. We moved into our house in Pleasant Grove a month before he was born. We live in the house Justin grew up in and have been there for the past 4 years. We have built a farm there. We have a pig, a goat, chickens, ducks, geese, a cat and 2 dogs. When Justin isn't busy working for Orem City, you will usually find him outside with his animals. SophiaLyn joined our family in April, 2010. We are loving our life right now. It is super busy but I don't think we would have it any other way.

Heather Dayton Bingham-- I married Art Bingham on July 13, 2002.

We now live in Pleasant View in the same home I grew up in, I Stay at home with my kids while my husband works in real estate. My oldest Dayton is 7 and going in second grade. Claire is 4 and going into preschool. And my twins Sienna and Mia are 3. My life is really busy, really fun and I love it! 10 years later I'm very happy, still very much in love celebrating my 9 year anniversary and love being a mom.

Tammy Dickson Guffey-- The Last 10 year...after graduation I started school at WSU, that next spring I joined the Army and went to South Carolina for basic training. The summer I got back I got married. Fall 02, back to a semester at WSU. January I got called to Iraq and spent from January 2003 to April 2004 in Iraq. I got divorced somewhere in the middle of that, I guess war is hard on marriage.
Apparently I like weddings or being married or something because September 2004 I got married again. We went to Nicaragua together on a nation building mission where we built schools and clinics with the National Guard. He went back to Iraq and when he got home we got divorced. So now I have been a soldier and a soldier's wife...way easier to be the soldier incase anyone is wondering.
Marriage 3, I was waitressing in the Valley at Eats of Eden and this guy came in with full sleeve tatoos and asked me what we did for fun up here. He told me he was a drummer at the Christian Church up on 89 in South Ogden and invited me to come watch on Sunday. That was a Wednesday....we got married the next Thursday at the court house from Jake Storey's dad the Judge. Ha ha ha ahhhhhhh. Luckily that only lasted a few months. So by now its 2008 I have been divorced 3 times and I am half way done with Massage Therapy School. At the end of 2008 I graduated from UCMT and started my own private practice. I go right to people’s houses so they don't have to worry about driving home after they have an hour to relax and get a massage.
In 2009 I ran into Mike Guffey, he is a year older than us... we fell in love and ran to Vegas to get hitched. Now are married with a baby on the way and 80/20 mostly happy. I'm figuring out how to be a step mom, probably the hardest thing I have done thus far. I am doing massage and Mary Kay so I love my flexible schedule.
In the spring I will graduate from Weber State...lots of people go to school for 10 years! I'm glad to finally finish something that I started in the fall of 2001.

Ashley Doxey Waddell-- I went to beauty school senior year, so in Jan. 2002 I graduated from Stacey's Beauty Collage. In Feb. that year I moved to Salt Lake to work at my first salon. I moved around a few times after and ended up back home in Eden the Fall of 2003. In 2004 I went to work at a salon in Eden and loved it. I love what I do and am grateful for the skill I learned. In Dec. 2004 I met my husband Justin. He moved here from South Carolina in December '04 and June 4th 2005 we were married. We met through his sister. On May 30th 2006 Carter joined our family and March 16th 2009 Kassidy followed. I quit working in a salon when I had Kassi and have been enjoying watching my two kids grow. I currently sell Jewelry and started back working in a salon. We bought a home in Ogden, in 2007 and Justin just opened his own business this last March. It’s been a crazy 10 yrs., but becoming a hairdresser, wife, mother (to name a few) and having many wonderful experiences, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait for what the next 10 years will bring.

Katie Dunkley DavisWent to BYU after high school and studied business. I met and married Cordell Davis (from California) and we have 3 kids! We've lived in West Virginia for 7 years and plan to move in two years wherever the air force sends us.

Christie East Chelaru-- I actually graduated early and didn't go to high school half of my junior and all of my senior year. I went to Weber State on a scholarship. I met my now husband, Vic, through our mutual friend where they were both student body officers at Ben Lomond. We started dating when I was 18, and we got married when I was 20. Six months after we got married, my husband was accepted to the Telecommunications Master's program at Indiana University, where he was going to study video game engineering. We lived in Bloomington, IN for the two years of his Master's program. I worked up in the Dean's suite of the school of Education in the finance department. I also did make-up artistry as a side business. After about 20 months of living in Indiana, my husband was contacted by EA (Electronic Arts) to work for them in the Salt Lake City office. We packed up and moved back home. In 2006 we were able to build our current house, and in 2008 we had our son Jack Chelaru. I quit my job as a make-up artist (I was contracted throughout Utah for doing photo shoots for ads and magazines), to be a stay at home mom, and it was the best decision I have every made. Last year Vic transferred to a different game studio in Orem, and our son was accepted at The Waterford School in Sandy, UT. We just bought a new home in Lehi, and are planning on moving in the next few weeks.

Kristin Fisher Johnson-- A lot has changed for me since high school, one month after graduation, I became a member into the LDS church. I moved to Salt Lake to attend the University of Utah for a few years before moving to Michigan. After moving back to Ogden a while later, I met and married Blake Johnson (class of 2000) in the Bountiful temple in Sept. 2005. In 2007, we moved to Eugene, Oregon to allow Blake to attend law school at the University of Oregon. We just bought our first house in Albany, Oregon, where Blake is working as an attorney for a local law firm. I am a stay at home mom to our two crazy kids and a very patient pooch. We fell in love with Oregon and plan to stay here for a while.

Sian Fronk Hales-- Well after high school I started up at Weber State the fall of 2001 and worked at Nutraceutical/NutraPure or as those who worked there liked to call it Nudysuits until the summer 2003. I worked on the assembly line
picking vitamins and packaging them in boxes and on occasion shipping them. I know it doesn't sound like a great job but I had a lot of great times there. Also that is where I met my husband Aaron Hales. I have been married now for a little over 7 years and I have two beautiful little boys Easton who is 2 1/2 years and Grayson who is almost 6 months. I graduated from Weber State with my Associates in General Studies and my Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I did an internship out at Farmington Bay Youth Center in the BA
(Behavioral Assessment) Unit. Since Nudysuits I worked at America First Credit Union for 5 years in Member Service and Washington
Terrace Elementary for a year as a Special Ed Aide. I am now a stay at home with my two boys and love every second of it!

Greg Gerritsen-- I can't really remember the last ten years, but fortunately I got married and my wife can. She told me that I went to a year of college at Westminster College, and then went on a mission to England. I then transferred to Weber State and finished my flight training at the Ogden Airport. I remember going to the Fiesta Bowl in 2005 and then getting married that summer to Kelly Vause. I worked as a flight instructor in 2006. We had our first kid in 2007. We moved to Juneau, AK in 2008.
