This update is a little late, but I figured I’d give it a shot as I couldn’t make the reunion. After high school, I attended the University of Utah, or “college football’s reigning national champions”. I met up with some old high school classmates - one of whom presided over my wedding ceremony (Jake Umbriaco) – and made some new friends. After my degree, I got me some more schooling at the University of Oregon where I met my wife and something called rain. My better half started her “work” on me and now I enjoy fine foods and wine, all the while developing a habit of leaving the toilet seat down. My brother acquired a taste of greenery and now lives in Oregon as well, although he hit his head at some point and became a Beaver fan in a sea of Ducks. My sister briefly moved to Oregon, but is now recovering in Utah. After my marriage and PhD, we moved to the Bay area where my wife and I both work as scientists, and more importantly, dog owners. And it is because of said dogs that I could not make the reunion. Take care!

After high school I went up to WSU w/ everyone else from high school. After a semester & a half, decided that school was not for me just yet. Started working full time at Granite Furniture for about 3 years, then moved over to Citi Bank as a Customer Service Rep. I met my husband Randy and 2 months later we were married, it was the whirlwind romance where we just knew so why wait type thing. He started school at WSU where I continued to try to find what I wanted to do when I grew up. I worked many different jobs then I started at the Internal Revenue Service and have been there for 3+ years and slowly moving up the GS-Ladder. We bought a older house in Washington Terrace and have been slowly fixing it up. My husband just graduated in December from WSU. Now we are just busy playing and remodeling, traveling and having tons of fun. We have a private blog if you would like an invite please email dailyegg@gmail.com.

Hello! It has been so fun to "catch up" with everyone on this blog...hopefully many more will continue to post! After graduation, I headed up to Logan to attend Utah State. My 3 years there with LHS friends were so fun, and I graduated with a BA degree in Fashion Merchandising. I began to work for the Gap during my first year of college, and 9 years later, they are a company I still love to work for. I was promoted into management in the fall of 2002, and worked at Crossroads babyGap, Crossroads GapKids, and the Gateway Gap before accepting a store manager position and moving to Billings in the fall of 2003. I packed up a Uhaul and began quite an adventure...moving to the state of Montana, all by myself, and not knowing a single soul. After a short 18 months, I was ready for adventure again, and set my sights on Seattle. I accepted a job managing a Gap in Lynnwood Washington (about 20 min. north of Seattle) in the spring of 2005. I have since transitioned to Bellevue Square Mall, which is a short bridge ride over Lake Washington from Seattle. I absolutely love my job, even on the tough days. I have 9 managers that report to me, oversee operations at 2 stores, and manage almost 7 million dollars in annual revenue. My career is challenging, and yet fulfilling at the same time, and my favorite part about my job is my staff. Most of my time is not spent on the selling floor, but rather growing and developing those that I manage into amazing leaders who can run my selling floor. I have loved all that Seattle has to offer, and a new adventure is never far away. The pictures I've posted are myself and some of my friends soaking in all that SeattIe has to offer. I often can be found lounging at the beach, going for an exploratory drive, taking in a ferry boat ride, shopping at Pike's market, cheering for the Mariners or Seahawks, trying a new restaurant with friends, going to a concert (if you can't tell, country is my fave), or taking time off to travel somewhere new. I still find my way back to Utah to visit family, and always love to entertain them when they come to visit me here. Hope this 10 year anniversary finds you all well - and here's to the next 10 years!

Tyler Hale

Hrrppph! After my mission I went to UVSC and finished an Associates in Multimedia. During that time I met my amazing wife, Shelly. Our first date was a BYU football game and we dated for 8 or 9 months before getting married in May of 2004. Five months after we got married I joined the Air Force as a Korean linguist. We moved to Monterey, California for a year and a half, Texas for half a year, a year in Korea, and a year at Ft. Meade, MD.
2008 was an awesome year for us. In April Shelly had our first kid...Logan, who is an absolute stud. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor's in Finance in August and I got out of the military in November. I took a job with a company based out of DC in Key West, FL as a project coordinator/software developer. We live pretty much on the beach and enjoy scuba diving and kayaking. I did a triathlon (slowly) in May and plan on doing another in September. We love going on trips that usually include a Monday Night Football game somewhere. Logan is a frequent flyer...he has been on 24 flights in 16 months. For our 5th anniversary we went to NYC for a week and didn't want to come home. Our short term plans right now include moving back up to Maryland sometime near the end of the year, buying a house, and having at least one more kid while I work on my Masters and Shel goes back to school.

Hi,
After High School, I went to BYU for 5 years. I met my husband Jeremiah(who grew up on a farm in Colorado) in November of 2003. Our roommates were dating and they set us up on a blind date. It turned out to be a fairytale with a very happy ending. We got married in August of 2004, so we will be celebrating 5 years next week! I graduated in December 2004 with a degree in Community Health, and if you're wondering, I have no idea what I can do with it, but that's ok because in October 2005 we welcomed our first little girl, Lucy, to our family and she's been a full time job ever since. We love her to pieces though and can't imagine life without her. In June 2008 I got a promotion when we added another little girl, Hailey, to the mix. She's growing up too fast and is walking and into everything, and believes she's a big girl, even though she's not! We've lived in Springville, Utah for the past 4 years and just bought a house here. We love the area we live in, and hope to be here for a long time. Jeremiah works as a computer programmer (the non-nerdy type :D ) for a small company in Provo, and does very well there. Not too much exciting happening here, but it's a good life and I enjoy it!

Amber (McCallister) Weaver

After graduation I headed up to Ricks College to play more than to get an education. I had a blast and loved the outdoor classes. I married my wonderful husband, Jon Weaver (class of 2008) in Oct. of 2001. We then headed to Louisville, Kentucky where I went to Dental Hygiene school while he was doing his undergraduate classes for business. As I was graduating dental hygiene he applied for dental school and we ended up living in KY for almost 8 years. We had 2 kids while we were in Kentucky. Our sweet handsome boy, Caiden, is 4 years old and our sassy adorable 2-year-old girl is Kaebrii. They are a lot of fun and I am very blessed to be able to work as needed but have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. Jon graduated from dental school this past May. We are now in Anchorage Alaska. He is an associate with my brother-in-law and plans to be part owner with him. We are loving the summer and the great outdoor activities that Alaska offers. We are excited for this new phase of our lives (being out of school finally!) and to be able to raise our children in Alaska! I am sad that I am not going to be able to make it to the reunion but I would love to keep in touch please email me to get to our blog and facebook. jsweav@yahoo.com

I went to Cedar City (SUU) the first semester after graduating, but transfered home to WSU after that. I was here every weekend anyway seeing friends off on missions. I was fortunate enough to get a job at Delta Airlines while they were still on campus and took every advantage of the travel benefits. Once I received my AA degree, I transfered to the airport and took the Leave of Absence they offered after 9/11 (I still got to travel but didn't have to work). I was unable to return after the 5 years was up, so now I'm stuck on the ground for a time until I win the lottery and can afford to go all the places I want to. I have yet to decide what to major in for my BA, so I took a break and went to cosmetology school in the mean time. I now get to work when I want and earn what I want to, but most importantly I get to stay home with my little monkey, Jack.

Sean and I met in the Dallas 11th singles ward in Dallas, TX where I had moved shortly after returning from my mission in Hungary. Since everyone here in Utah was already married, except me, and I was bored and not doing anything exciting, I moved. We were married April 9, 2005 in the Logan Temple, then drove back home to Dallas. We've been living with my folks in Syracuse since November 2005. We initially moved back here from Dallas 3 years ago to house sit for them so they could go on a mission and Sean could go to school. It took them another year to decide to go and we've been here since. They returned from Romania/Moldova on Christmas. We're waiting to see where the wind will blow us next, but hoping for somewhere foreign.

Sean is the Utah Area Rep for Boost Mobile (owned by Sprint/Nextel) and is finishing his schooling at WSU--the reason we moved back from Dallas.
We had our first, and so far only, child on February 14, 2008. Jack is a true delight and keeps us laughing every day. Isn't it funny the mannerisms they develop and what they pick up on from grownups?

I guess we'll see some of you Saturday afternoon. Szia!

(We don't have any recent family photos, but this was our Christmas card. Our dog, Suzee has since passed away, but the rest of us are still here. We're just introducing Jack to a leash/backpack. He's slowly figuring out he can't go as far as he once could and wants to. They're wonderful!)

Cylvia Caswell-laybourn

Wow!!! Ten years, I can not believe it has been so long. Well after graduation I worked as a Nurse and played an took a break from school. I took classes at Weber State for Nursing but did not get to finish as I went to the administrative side and started working on a BSHA. I took a break again when I got married in September 2001, however I got divorced July 2003. I then took a job in Oregon. I moved again, I took a job in Tennessee and spent almost 5 wonderful years there. I loved the south I was there &helped out during Hurricane Katrina & also got to travel a lot around the USA. I also got to travel during this time and work with doctors at Shepard's hospital in Atlanta Georgia where they specialize in spinal cord injuries which some of my patients had & I got to learn and specialize in knowing how to care for these types of injuries. I moved further in my career & finished my BSHA thru University of Phoenix. I then took a job transfer to Utah and then back to Tennessee then Utah again. Then a year ago I moved to Washington State and have enjoyed it here and took sometime to slow down and get to know my 3 nieces and do more than just work. I work as a Nurse and am finishing my RN & will take a break from school for a little bit. I live on the coast of Washington in Bremerton. I hope all you guys have fun at the reunion I will not be able to attens as I have prior plans that prevent me from being there. See everyone at the next one. I am on myspace an some of you have also found me on facebook.

Ten years, how is it that I am almost 30? The other day I had to explain to my nephew what the Berlin Wall was. As for me in 2003 I received a B.A. from BYU Provo in Public Relations. I had a really rewarding college experience, including meeting wonderful dear friends and a study abroad where we took a bus from Mexico City all the way down to Guatemala studying culture and ruins. Shortly after graduating, I moved to Los Angeles and worked for NBC in the publicity department. Yes, I met a lot of celebrities and yes they are as bad as the LA traffic. In 2006, I married a cute So Cal surfer boy, Mike, who had no plans to leave the ocean so last summer we bought a house close to the beach in West LA. BOOYA! This past November we welcomed a little girl into our home, named Catherine and… well, I fell in love, harder than I ever have before, she is my little miracle! As for me, in addition to being a mom, I am currently in graduate school working on a masters degree in speech therapy, leaving the world of entertainment for the birds. In ten years I am realizing I am more like my own mother than I want to admit (gulp), don’t travel as much as I want to, and my list of books to read just keeps piling up on my nightstand. Overall, life is treating me good; not much to complain about when you live close to the ocean!

When I think it's been 10 yrs. since we graduated, it makes me feel old! After graduation I headed to the College of Eastern Utah on a volleyball scholarship, and had a great time. I never would have have thought I would meet my husband Tyler there, who was also at CEU on a basketball scholarship. While home from the summer of my sophomore year in college, I decided to do the Miss Layton Pageant on a dare from my friends. Ironically, I ended up winning and went on to represent Layton at the Miss Utah pageant. I wouldn't consider myself a "pageant" person, but it actually was a really rewarding experience. After Miss Utah, I got married, and my husband and I continued our education at BYU. After my husband graduated we followed his career path in pharmaceutical sales to Los Angeles. Sadly, I was unable to graduate before we moved, so I received my BA from Cal State Northridge. After I graduated I also pursued a career in pharmaceuticals, so both my husband and I sold drugs! :) We recently moved near Palm Springs, CA and although we miss being closer to our families, we don't miss the snow! Just four months ago we welcomed our first child, a sweet baby boy named Beckham, and I took a "promotion" to stay home with him, and also teach fitness classes for fun. Looking forward to seeing all of you and catching up!

Wow, 10 years have gone by so fast. We are so old! After high school, I went to WSU for 2 1/2 years getting the prerequisites for the Dental Hygiene Program. In Feb. of 2002, I went on a mission to Italy. It was such an awesome experience. I returned home in Aug. of 2003 and started the Dental Hygiene Program at WSU. I met my husband, Nate, in Dec. of 2003 at a WSU student ward. We got married in Aug. of 2004 and have lived in Layton ever since. We both graduated in May of 2005 from WSU. I graduated in Dental Hygiene and Nate graduated in Technical Sales. In June of 2008, we welcomed our first little boy, Lincoln. He has brought so much joy to our little family. I currently work a few days a week for an awesome dentist in Kaysville. Nate works as a Sales Rep. for Porter-Brown. We both love our jobs and love being parents. For fun, we like to hang out with friends and family, go to Bear Lake, watch movies, and play games. We are enjoying life and I'm excited to see everyone at the reunion.

Markham McReynolds

Wow, 10 years just flies by! After graduating, I started some college courses before leaving on an LDS mission to Poland in December 1999. I met my wife, Melissa just 5 days after returning from my mission in February 2002 and we were married in October 2002. I continued my education at of U of U until 2005. Though they let me walk, they later claimed I did not fulfill my requirements for graduation and, sadly, they refused to grant me a diploma. Rather than go back to finish, I decided to pursue a career as a Realtor. I received my license in 2004 and I have been happy in that career ever since. I joined Zip Realty in January 2008 and I think it is the best Real Estate company in the nation! I am excited to have my wife join me when she finishes school! In March 2006 we welcomed our first son, Samuel, and in September 2007 our second son, Dylan, was born. Sadly, my wife had to have a hysterectomy 3 months ago and so no more children for us until we can adopt, hopefully, in the near future. We have a nice home in Layton and we are grateful to be living close to family. I look forward to seeing all my old friends and to find out where life has taken them these past ten years. Life is good, though it is not without trials; however, I don't think I could appreciate the good in my life without the bad. I have a great career, a beautiful family, and a nice home. Life couldn't get much better than this!

Jenny (Randall) Cooper

I can't believe it's been 10 years! After graduation I attended Weber State and worked a lot, advancing up the ladder at America First Credit Union and eventually onto the Title Company Industry. I was lucky to be in the right spot at the right time when I was re-connected with a childhood friend who is now my best friend and husband, York Cooper (class of '98). We have been married for almost 7 years. We have bought and fixed up 2 homes in Layton and love where we currently are, a couple blocks from the High School! We have been blessed with 2 adorable girls, Camryn and Reese and were shocked to find out we were expecting again at the first of this year. And then even more shocked to learn we are having twin girls due anytime! I am so lucky to be able to stay home with them. Life with 4 kids under the age of 3 1/2 will be crazy but we are excited. We enjoy camping, hunting, riding the ranger and doing pretty much anything outdoors as a family. We won't be at the reunion thanks to these buns in the oven but hope that everyone has a great time!

Jake Umbriaco

Hello friends. It’s been awhile…. I’m married with canines (Kelsey and Battlecat) and reside in Houston, TX.

After graduation I moved into El Caliente Apts with (Adam) Schwarz, (Kyle J.O.) Dittmer, and Ari (Fershtut). Dittmer’s bike got stolen, our floor reeked of curry, and we had two tv’s stacked on top of each other…..good times. Speaking of Dittmer- he’s a you-tube sensation and you simply must check out this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srRdtl9Rk5M).
The boys and I all matriculated at the U together. I graduated in 2001 with a BS in Geophysics. I spent 6 months working outside of Seattle as a Campus Minister at PLU and then spent the summer in Rome hanging out with refugees (mostly Afghani and Iraqi). I returned to SLC in the Fall of ’02 – and started grad school. I was also the Baptist Campus Minister at the U for 3 yrs.
Erin and I met at a party… she was there with friends and I was dancing on tables. I have this killer routine involving elephant-themed undies and undersized billy-goats… it’s sort of complicated to explain… but I found her digits on a single and decided to give her a call.
That last paragraph might be fabricated…. Anyway – Erin and I dated for three yrs… as the wedding day approached an event happened that altered the course of our future together. Erin insisted that prior to our wedding I get my eyebrows waxed. This follicle emasculation traumatized me in ways I’m not yet emotionally ready to deal with. Suffice to say I watch the Gilmore Girls a lot.

After Erin graduated and I finished my MS we moved to Houston. If you’ve ever worked out really hard you’ll know the sensation of taking off that gym sock…. It’s all sweaty and hot and gross. So if you climbed into that sock with 5 million other people… that’s Houston!
Erin just finished her MD at Baylor College O’ Medicine and has started her residency here in Pediatrics. I work for Chevron in downtown Houston as geophysicist and I pastor a church called Kaleo.

I just started an MBA program at Rice and I’m in class all next week so I won’t be able to make it out for the festivities.

Anita "Anu" Apte

10 years!? Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to the reunion. It will be a blast though and I’m sad to miss it! Here’s the scoop on me: I graduated from the University of Utah with what I like to call “the de facto desultory degree’. That would be the Bachelors of Science in Behavioral Science and Health Administration with minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. Otherwise known as the, I’m pre-med because my parents want me to be, but do I really want to be . . . degree. After graduation I moved to Seattle with my dog, a moving truck, and the ocean and rainforests in mind. My first roommate in Seattle heard my mom call me Anu, my childhood nickname, and it stuck. Most Seattleites don’t know my real name is Anita. Being called Anu reminds me of being young, so what the heck, Anu it is. I delved into the fashion design world for 2 years. I designed my own line, did some print modeling, decided I was bored, and abandoned ship. I met the ever so handsome Zane Harris in the fall of 2005 and we’ve been joined at the hip since. We are living in sin in our work/live artist loft located in an old converted warehouse that was formerly a burlap bag factory built in 1904. I don’t think I want ceilings lower than 22 feet ever again. Over the past few years we have worked on several projects together including our newest and biggest. We just bought a bar! As of August 1st we are the proud owners of the Rob Roy in Seattle. If any of you are ever in Seattle we’d love to have you visit us. We can whip up some tasty non-alcoholic drinks too! The next few years of our lives will be dedicated to bringing new techniques, products, and the freshness to Seattle. Other than that, I have no kids, am 10 pounds heavier, can’t lift small women over my head any longer, still play soccer once in awhile, travel as much as I can, and miss all of my Utah friends dearly. You can catch me on facebook or http://www.robroyseattle.com/ or http://www.acoupleofcocktails.com/.
