At the last reunion I was a Project Mgr. for a Construction Co. and my son, Ethan, was 2. Since then, I became the Office Mgr at Alexandria Diesel, Inc. and met Steve. We married in 2000 and expanded with more kids & built a house by Maple Lake, Forada. I quit working when Wyatt was born - tried anyway. I am now a full-time stay at home mother, although I am running in the van more than anything. Ethan is very into Football, Baseball, fishing & band. Wyatt is into Soccer & dirt bikes. Savana can take them both when it comes to a good fight!!! We spend a lot of time on the lake, camping, racing at the Viking Speedway, and loving Alex!! Jenny (Oberg) got me started scrapbooking and has started the Forada "Swamp" Scrappers. I also love my flower gardens but by the end of July could give a crap. We are involved in our church - I am the youngest to assist w/ the funeral food/serving & the oldest couple to participate on the co-ed softball team. I can consistently hit the ball - but I still can't run for @#$@#! I am also a volunteer 1st Responder for Forada & Steve is a City Councilmen. One thing about Forada - we still can support 2 bars - which I'm sure many of you drank at back in high school because they never carded.  I enjoy going to Ethan's conferences and seeing our old jr. high teachers. I found out that most of them actually have a personality! I can't wait until Ethan's in high school & I get a call from the Principle.

Being so DAMN SKINNY & being able to wear the skin tight jeans that were tight to the ankle. I still miss the high hair and my aqua net hairspray. Working at Perkins with Pat Stephens, Andy Rassat, and Amy Wicken and telling some of you that you will not get free food!!! Skipping school and not getting caught, ever. Skipping to go with Jack Johnson on his motorcycle to St. Cloud State University and hiding from the highway patrol because we were speeding - not getting caught. Randy & Jack sitting behind me in band and making me laugh all the time because of their dirty minds. Paul Hunt & John Ingebretson & all the years we shared in band. The swim team & Mr. Lewis - although he is now Ethan's teacher. The trip to Dallas for the Cotton Bowl Parade. Skiing at Andes w/ Barb, Faith & Nova. And of course the parties!!! I am looking forward to seeing many of you!! And for the ones I see all the time - hope you're there too!!
