Sara (Erickson) Laub

Life has been good to me. I received my Associates Degree at UVSC. I worked and went to college non-stop until my councilor said I had too many credits and I had to wait for one class to open for my degree in Special Education. In the midst of waiting I met my spouse, Kevin and we dated long-distance and were married 7 months later. I worked as a substitute teacher and got my fill for teaching as we lived on his family's alfalfa farm by Paragonah. We planned to finish my degree starting the next semester at USU. Then surprise! Samantha was born a couple months after our first anniversary. I knew I couldn't leave my baby so I took classes up until she was born at UVSC for a Preschool Certificate, and Kevin took the Fire Fighter classes there too. We bought a small home in Springville next to the Junior High and we fixed it up completely, and Kevin was a volunteer on the Springville Fire Dept. We moved to St. George for Kevin to continue education and I had our second child, Derrick. Kevin found us a house in Gunlock on 1.25 acres. 1973 and all the wood panel and green would be considered vintage now. We plan to update slowly as finances permit. I had KayDee a couple months after we moved in and we have resided there since. I turned out to be pregnant everytime we moved and we think we found our resting place, so we think our family is complete too. Kevin is the Gunlock Fire Captain (volunteer of course) and tiling, and I am still doing my field research in child development and maternal development. Being a mom is hard but so worth it!Now that we are adjusted to Southern Utah climate we enjoy doing our favorite things: off-roading, hiking, camping, biking, and whatever else allows us to be outside. I write the town newsletter The Gunlock Informer, you can see it at thegunlockinformer.blogspot.com. You can also check out more of my life at kslaub.blogspot.com but you may find out more than you want to. Ten years later and I am exactly where I want to be, an amazing husband, three adorable kids and a house that fits our needs.

Joni (Sorenson) Wright

After graduating from high school I headed up to Logan to attend Utah State University. This is where I became a TRUEAGGIE, ran my first and only half marathon, and wished that they had a class in socializing because that would have been an easy "A". I worked 4 years at the creamery serving ice cream. And yes the rumor is true, you do develop a large arm from scooping ice cream. I graduated from USU, majoring in Marketing and minoring in Business Information Systems and I also brought home one large arm (from the scooping.) After graduating I moved back to Springville and tried the real estate thing, got my license and quickly decided that it wasn't for me. In the mean time I had moved to Provo and met Mr. W"right", although for the first 6 months I thought he was Mr. Wrong. Finally I had a change of heart and fell in love with Mr. Wright. We got married a little over two years ago. My boss in the real estate world was incredible and helped me find the position I am currently in. I am the Event director for a company called Corporate Alliance. I basically throw parties all the time. I love my job. My husband recently got accepted to Medical School so at the end of August we are headed out to Columbus, Ohio to attend Ohio State. Go Buckeyes! If you would like to keep up on our crazy adventures visit our blog at thewrightadventures.blogspot.com. Hope to see lots of you at the reunion!

Randa (Gonzales) Farnsworth

After graduation I stayed in Springville, and worked. On July 31st 1999 I married a wonderful man named Eric.
2 days after we got married we moved to Mesa Arizona, where we stayed for 5 years. We moved back to Utah in 2004, and are currently living in Springville. In May 2003 we had our first child, a boy name Kai, then in November of 2005 we added a little girl named Makayela. We are expecting our 3rd child in September.

I am currently a consultant for a company called Nail Impressions. http://www.nail-impressions.com/ It's very fun and I really enjoy it! When I'm not off stamping nails, I get to stay home and enjoy my children.

Tanya (Clifton) Bingham

Following graduation, I attended what was then Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. On the first day of fall semester, I met my sweet husband Logan...a bit earlier than I’d planned, but after dating for a year, we were married in September of 1999. After we both finished our Associate’s degrees at Ricks’, we moved to Ogden to attend Weber State University. I finished my Bachelor’s degree there in Family Science, and Logan completed his in Construction Management. Currently, Logan’s company, Headwaters Construction, builds everything from "high-end/resorty residential" to commercial. It brought us to Victor, Idaho (20 minutes from Jackson Hole, WY) a couple years ago, so that’s where we call home for now.
We've had 4 girls: Mackenzie (currently in heaven), Janessa (7), Breklyn (5), and Kambria (2 ½). We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first boy any day...finally! I get to stay at home with my munchkins, and I love it! As a family, we enjoy a good bike ride, "cookouts" in the mountains, snow skiing, and of course the kids love to wrestle dad!

Brittney (Reed) Mortensen

I can't believe it has been 10 years. I haven't been up to a lot, except for being a mom. I was married March 1999 to my wonderful husband Kam Mortensen (class of '97). We started our family with the birth of our first girl Samantha in August 1999, followed by our second girl Jordan in August 2002, followed by yet another girl Tiffanee in October 2004, finally we had a boy, Kooper in January 2007. He completes our family. We lived in Springville until we built our house in 2002. We live in Santaquin, and love it down here. I don't think we will ever move. Kam is a plumber and works for a company in Alpine. After being a stay at home mom for 9 years, I went to work for IHC, where I hope to return to school and become a phlebotomist. When we aren't working we are usually riding 4 wheelers or just having fun in the backyard with the kids. Hope to see everybody soon.

Emily (Nielsen) Wilkinson

For real 10 years!!! It seems like yesterday we were waiting to get our diplomas playing hacky sack with a pop can LOL, how crazy! Well I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do after graduation so I worked and partied a lot then I went to UVSC for a year and then decided to work, while I was working and playing LOL I dated around and met Curtis Wilkinson in 2001 and we were married in February 2004. Then to our surprise I gave birth to a Beautiful Daughter in December 2004 (yes she was our honeymoon baby). I have moved a total of 12 times in 7 years know real nuts! ..and finally our last and final move is right here in Spanish Fork!!! in a house!!!!! We Love our house. I have worked part time during our marriage and I currently stay-at-home and do daycare and sell Mary Kay (in my spare time) I am excited to see everybody in June! We are all grown up!! LOL

Rachelle (Krum) Brandt

Here's our family's little site enjoy: http://www.david-rachelle.blogspot.com/. Well, it seems like it has been a long road since high school. I ended up moving to Arizona for about 7 years where I became a divorcee (that sucked). About two years later I found the love of my life, Dave. Never thought I'd marry a truck driver but there is something cool and nistagic about him; he's my huckleberry! He followed me to Beaumont, TX for graduate school. We ended up eloping to South Padre Island; getting married on the beach. It was perfect! Just the two of us.

About a year later Drayton came to join our family; he's our precious little accident. I would never choose to become a mother and tackle graduate school all in the same year. Just last week we fled from southeast Texas to Utah. We're just sinking our feet in to settle down, but we're nervous and not sure if this was the right decision. We'll know soon enough.

Julie Widdison

Has it really been 10 years??? Wow, we're old. Well, after graduation I headed to Dixie College for 3 years. I became a Paramedic and worked in St. George until I decided I needed to get serious about school. I moved to the big city (SLC) in 2001 and finished up my BS and got ready to apply for medical school. In the meantime, I met my now husband, Adam and shortly after we met we moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2004. I lived there with him for 2 years, then moved back to SLC in 2006 to start medical school at the U. After he completed residency in 2007, he moved back to Utah and we were married at Solitude Ski Resort on 7-7-07 (I know,the date is a bit cheesy, but it was the best weekend ever!)

We now live in SLC with the two best dogs, Neko and Cash. Adam works at St. Marks hospital in the emergency department, and I am just finishing my second year of medical school. We stay plenty busy skiing in the winter, and biking and hiking with our dogs in the warmer weather. I look forward to hearing what everyone has been doing and seeing you all in June!

Bonnie (Versluys) Cuthill

I currently still live in Springville, just around the corner from where I grew up. I enjoy the neighborhood and lifelong friends and don't plan on going anywhere else anytime soon (right behind Sophia Child, actually). After high school, I attended Ricks College, got my Associates in General Studies, then moved back to Utah. I tried attending UVSC but couldn't handle the atmosphere after the Spirit of Ricks, and stopped attending. I met my future husband, Eric Cuthill from California, at the point (on the internet) in August of 2001 with no intentions of dating anyone. But one thing led to another, and we got married the next July. He joined the Army soon before our wedding, and afterwards we headed to Washington State for his first station. He was injured while on the job, and was soon honorably discharged. We headed back to Utah, had our first child, Daysun who will be 4 this year. Another child, Annica, came along a couple years later in 2006. I am a stay-at-home mom that takes on way too much. Between kids, preschool, babysitting, small part time job, church callings, husbands work and school, and anything else I can't think of at the moment...things can get pretty busy. If anyone would like to check out my kids (I don't have any pictures with myself in them) you can go to my blog http://www.cuthills.blogspot.com/. Hope to hear from all the friends soon!!!

Angela (Rogers) Lanier

After graduation I was able to go to Germany with Frau Winegar and some other students. It was so fun and a great learning experience. It was nice to be able to use the skill of learning a foreign language. I attended Snow College with Amber (Mecham) Miyake as my roommate. I studied business classes and then changed my emphasis to early childhood education. I met my husband, Jon, at Snow College and we were married January 2000. Alex joined our family shortly after our 1st anniversary in 2001. We moved into our house in Provo when he was only 4 months old and hope to be here forever. We love our neighborhood and our home.

Caleb was born September 2002. He is really excited to start school this fall. Leah completed our family in 2004. We were so happy to have a little girl. I love being a stay-at-home mom and doing preschool with my kids. I also work part time as a cake decorating instructor at the Orem Robert's store. I've been there for 2 years now. I do personal cake orders on the side to keep me busy. We have a family blog and if you're interested in viewing it leave your e-mail address and I'll add you to the list. You can also check out my cake blog at http://www.creativecakesbyangela.blogspot.com/ecakesbyangela.blogspot.com/.

Kristi (Loveridge) Higham

After graduation I went to UVSC for a few years while still working at the beloved Art City Pharmacy, but after a while decided I needed a change and quit the pharmacy and put a hold on school. I got a job doing accounting at a software company where I met my husband, Andy, who is from San Francisco. We were married in October of 2002 and in May of 2003 we were asked by the company we worked for to move to our office in New York City and we jumped at the chance. I worked on Wall Street just down the street from the New York Stock Exchange for a year before we adopted our daughter Samantha and I became a stay-at-home mom. 14 months later we adopted our son Alex who is the biological brother to Samantha which we felt very lucky about! Andy continued to work in the city for an additional 2 1/2 years and we resided in New Jersey and loved it there. We decided then we had done our time away and were ready to come home to Utah so Andy's company moved us back to Utah where we have been for a year and a half. I enjoy being a stay-at-home mom most days but the kids keep me busy and frustrated and some days I would gladly go back to the carefree days at Springville High!! My husband completes his MBA in a year after which we plan to move international for a couple of years and enjoy that experience. I like to write our family happenings on our blog, krandy.blogspot.com and hope that some of you will visit it!

Sherie (Call) Dotson

After graduation, I left home and made the long trip all the way to BYU.  I worked on my degree in Public Relations and a Business minor.  Things kind of changed perspective when I was set up on a date with my husband, Jon, in 2000.  I transferred to SUU and changed my degree to Elementary Education with a Reading Minor.  I delivered our first child, Avery, a few months after graduation in 2002.

We headed out to the University of Illinois, in Champaign-Urbana, for my husband to attend law school.  Luke made us a family of four in 2005.

We are now living in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, where my husband does commercial real estate law.  We just had our third child, Abigail, last September.  We love it here!  Hopefully we aren’t planning on moving any time soon, because I seem to have a baby in every state we live in!

Fortunately, my change in degrees has worked out well for me.  I absolutely love being a stay-at-home mom, but I also keep up with a variety of hobbies on the side, including www.citruslist.blogspot.com.  Life ten years later is even better than I thought it would be!  I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!   

Sophie (Houser) Child

I can't believe we graduated 10 years ago. A lot has happened since then. I graduated from BYU in Math Education. I married Steve Child (class of '97) in 2001. I taught at the Jr. High for 4 years (I taught several of your little brothers and sisters). Jr. High was better the second time around. I really loved teaching even though the kids were a bit crazy. It was fun to teach with lots of the teachers we had in Jr. High. I got to see a different side of them. While I taught I also coached softball at the high school. Then I quit when I had my little girl, Alexa. She is 3 years old now (born in 2005) and a lot of fun. She has a ton of energy and keeps me busy. Now I just do math tutoring from my home. Steve works for his family's company in the masonry business. We bought a house in Springville and will probably be here for the rest of our lives! Welcome to my exciting life!
