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. Continued taking dance classes and I also have taught for the last 6 years. I got married in May of 2004. I have 2 kids, Tanner (5), and Lydia (2) with another girl on the way. 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. :)

Kara Collman Barber--
Past 10 years have been great, I graduated from BYU in Fitness and Wellness. While at BYU I met and married Mike Barber, the most awesome husband ever! We have been married for seven years! We moved to Michigan, I did my masters in Physician Assistant and when I graduated I was eight months pregnant! I have one son, a 2-year-old named Stewart who is the cutest thing ever. I have been working part time in emergency departments and urgent cares for the past 2 years. We recently moved to Augusta Georgia for my husband to do a residency.

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 lived in Ogden, the moved to Logan where I got my Medical Assisting Certificate and had my first child Dayton Arthur Bingham on May 18, 2004 my 21st birthday. We then moved to Clinton where I had Claire Mabel Bingham on November 26, 2006. Then we built a home in Layton where we were surprised with twin girls Sienna Gayle and Mia Isabelle on Feb 10, 2008. 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. We had our second boy in 2009 and moved back to Ogden in the fall of 2009. We had our little girl on October of 2010. I now work as an Air Ambulance Pilot in New Mexico.
