What We've Been Up To....Emily (Tanner) Willis!

And the great influx of updates continues!  So fun :)  Remember, pre-registration ends TOMORROW at noon!  After that it's pay at the door, $35 per person, cash only!  Our next victim is Emily (Tanner) Willis!!

It’s crazy that it’s been ten years already, I’m definitely not old enough. Well after I graduated from Riverton I went to SLCC for a few semesters. After SLCC I attended BYU. In between school I started working at Riverton’s child care, where I still work today. It is so fun and takes a lot of patience. I also currently work at lifetime fitness and I teach swimming lessons in the summer. Work keeps me busy. Since I guess I wasn’t busy enough I started coaching volleyball at Riverton, and coached there for four years. I love volleyball so it didn’t even feel like work. While waiting for my prince charming I enjoyed being single, going to Hawaii, New York and Havaupai, river rafting, just trying to keep busy.

            In 2008 I met my husband, Adam in our singles ward. He also went to Riverton, just graduated a different year. We were just good friends at the time. It wasn’t till the following year that we went on a few dates. It took awhile after that till we started dating seriously. He was very patient.  Then finally on December 29^th 2010 we got married. I did have to look past the fact that he is a huge U fan, but I still love him. He will graduate from the U and then attend Physical Therapy school, so we’ll just wait to see where we end up. But for now we live in a basement apartment in Riverton, and enjoy being out doors and being with friends and family. I loved going to Riverton and had a lot of great memories, but hope the next ten years go by a little slower!

What We've Been Up To....Jennica Jensen & Corben Wilcox!

I told you, I am a machine tonight!  Two updates in like 10 minutes.  Our next one is another pair of lovebirds from high school who are still together...Jennica Jensen & Corben Wilcox!

A decade down is both exciting and scary to me! So much has gone on and yet there is so much left to do that is still on my list…  I was college bound after RHS and earned dual bachelors in communication from Southern Utah University. I made the most out of my college time participating in the study abroad program and living in India for a while, an internship in Las Vegas, I was appointed Broadcasting Club President and I did this all while graduating on the Dean’s List.  I am now a financing manager at Remax Associates Real Estate. Corben has spent the last decade becoming a master of all trades including tile, paint, cement and finish work. All of which will come in handy when he achieves his goal and builds his own home. He recently made the leap out of construction and is working his way up the managerial ladder at Winco Foods.  We have gone to school since 7th grade at Oquirrh Hills Middle. But it was not until Junior Year that we started dating…little did we know homecoming and prom would lead to TWELVE years of dating! And yet we still have not tied the knot. We did welcome a baby girl into this world on 11-11-11 named Nola and she has struck a new love cord in our relationship. We are now at least “thinking” about the ball and chain.  

What We've Been Up To...Tana (Coombs) Alsop!

We are so excited to see you all tomorrow night at our family picnic then Saturday at our main event!  I need to cram a few more updates in between now and then so here you go!  Tana (Coombs) Alsop!

10 years, oh my goodness how time flies!! Having to move 2 months before graduation and not being able to graduate with all my fellow classmates was not easy, and I wish I could have been able to find away to stay BUT thats how it goes. I moved with my family to the little town of Delta, Utah where everyone knows everyone. I got a job working at a local grocery store as a cashier and then moved to the freight crew (grew some muscles i tell you) I enjoyed it and loved working with people, little did I know that two of my co-workers were going to be my future in-laws. Their son (Cody) worked at the other grocery store there in town, to me he was just some guy who I really didn't know or really cared too and to him I was the strange girl with bleached blonde hair and glasses. I lived in Delta until 2004 and then I decided to go out and see the world!! So...I moved to St. George (thats as far as I could make it LOL) I moved in with some friends who were from Delta and I got a job working at Smith's Grocery. I was just enjoying life and doing my own thing. One night my roommates were having a BBQ and had some people over and one of their guests was Cody. We still didn't really care for each other but being friendly we started talking, and a month later we started dating.
2005 was a big year for me and Cody, we were married and were blessed with our beautiful daughter Kinley. I worked up until the day Kinley was born and then became a stay at home mom (which i enjoy) Cody worked as a framer for a while, he also did asphalt but then moved into construction running heavy equipment which he enjoys and is really good at. I tell him every day how much I love him for working out in the triple digit heat (we are still in the St George area) during the summer so I can stay home in a nice central air house!! :) In 2010 we were blessed with our handsome boy Sylis who makes our life even more fun and exciting. Life is good and happy. I wish I could make it to the reunion and see all the familiar faces but I will have to try for another time!! Happy 10 years to our class!!

What We've Been Up To....Michelle (Taylor) Campbell!

Today's classmate update is....Michelle (Taylor) Campbell!  Read on to find out all the cool stuff she has been up to!

I can’t believe the reunion is this weekend! Yikes! I've been having so much fun reading the updates on this blog and I can't WAIT to catch up with everyone in person.

After graduation I went to Utah State. I lasted two years before I realized I could not handle another Logan Winter, so I transferred to the University of Utah and started working at a Residential Treatment Center with Teenage girls – I really loved it and made plans to become a therapist.  

While at the U I also met Trevor Campbell, a BYU graduate from Boise, Idaho with a degree in film production, a talent for growing facial hair, and a passion for Film.   We married after I graduated and moved to Boise where I got a job admitting people into Idaho’s substance abuse treatment funding program.  I have so much respect for people who work in social work their entire lives because six months after graduating with a psychology degree, I was already completely burnt out.  

Luckily, an opportunity for Trevor to work in his field as a media librarian for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition popped up.  We dropped everything and moved to LA.  I took a temp job taking lunch orders for the senior staff at EM:HE, and while there fell in love with production and convinced them to let me stick around. I have been working steadily in unscripted television ever since.

I’m currently a story producer for a new doc-style MTV series and Trevor is working as an editor for an IFC beard competition show.  It’s very intense and seriously unglamorous, but luckily it’s also very/seriously fun.   We are also the happy parents of our four-year-old mutt, Forsberg.  

Can't wait to see y'all!

What We've Been Up To....Tom and Stephanie (Larson) Colligan!

Can I just say, I love ALL of these updates.  But my absolute favorites are the double updates.  That's right, our "High School Sweethearts," and while these two didn't necessarily date in high school, everyone but them knew where they would end up :)  Here's Tom and Stephanie (Larson) Colligan!

Hello Everyone!  We are excited for our reunion and hope to see a lot of old friends there! After graduating RHS, Tom and I both went to Utah State where Tom  majored in Accounting and I majored in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. Tom took a two year break from 2003-2005 to go on a mission to Calgary, Alberta, Canada and came back saying 'Eh' every other word. Seriously. He told me before he left that I should get married, but I didn't listen and was still happily single when he got back. We got married in December of 2005 and plan on staying that way for a long, long time. :)  I graduated in 2006 with my teaching degree and taught kindergarten for two years at River Heights Elementary. Tom got his Bachelor's in 2007, but decided to stick around another few semesters and graduate with his Master's in 2008. We then moved down from Logan for Tom to work at an accounting firm in Salt Lake, where he works as a CPA in auditing. I started teaching first grade for a few months, but then decided to be done when our little lady was born at the end of 2008. She is 3 now, calls herself Rapunzel because of her super long hair, and is very excited for preschool to start. Our son was born in 2011 at 9.5 lbs so we are counting on him to provide our retirement through the NFL. Tom was pretty sure growing up that he was going to be in the NBA, but when he stopped growing a few feet short of that plan, we had to have our son as back-up. We'll let you know how that goes, but of course you could just watch ESPN if that's easier. We are looking forward to this weekend. See you all soon!

What We've Been Up To....Jessica (Wolfley) Farnsworth!

Two in 24 hours, look at me go!  :)  With the reunion fast approaching, I thought we better get crackin' on the updates.  Our next classmate is....Jessica (Wolfley) Farnsworth!

Okay here's my update! I know, it's soooo exciting

The first four years after graduating weren't too exciting for me. I attended Utah State University for a year and a half, transferred to UVSC and got my Associates degree in English. I worked for SOS temp agency, Cinemark movie theater at Jordan Landing and for my dad at his landscaping business. 2005 is when things in life started getting really good! I met my husband, Jeremy, while I was on a blind date with someone else. Unfortunately for my date, I fell head over heels for Jeremy. A month later he took me out on our first date (just two days after I gave a talk for my mission farewell) and it was downhill from there. We got married a year later on February 15, 2007. I attended the U of U for a year, taking classes to prepare me for the art program. In 2008 we had our first baby girl, in 2009 we bought our first home, in 2010 we had our first baby boy and in 2011 we had our second baby boy. I get to stay at home with our cute kids and my husband works for Spillman Technologies-a law enforcement software company. We currently live in Eagle Mountain and love it out here. Life is crazy busy for us, but we are absolutely loving every second of it! Our goals in life right now are to go camping more often, spend lots of time with our kids, own a home with more than .01 acres and retire on a houseboat in Lake Powell.

What We've Been Up To...Brandon & Danielle (Burrell) Clark!

This week we have another pair of lovebirds who met at good old RHS...Brandon Clark and his beautiful wife, Danielle (Burrell) Clark! 

I can't believe ten years have passed since graduating from RHS!! Brandon and I met in Mr. Taggart's biology class where I shamelessly flirted with him. (With Brandon, not Mr. Taggart.) We got hitched in June 2004 and we live in Riverton. We love living in Utah and enjoying it's beautiful landscape. We enjoy canyoneering, hiking, fishing and basically any outdoor adventure. I earned my degree in architecture from the U of U and work at a local firm in SLC. I love my job and am working on becoming a licensed architect. Brandon works for UDOT as an electronic specialist. We are loving life with our adorable little girl, Alexa Jade who is almost one year old. Life is good and we are excited to reminisce with everyone at the reunion next weekend!

Until next time...on "What We've Been Up To!"  :)
