I can't believe ten years have come and gone so fast.

After we graduated I headed down to Snow College for some summer classes followed by the fall semester. Needless to say I didn't get a whole lot of studying done, since that is where I met my soon to be husband, Daniel. However that January I left Dan and my roomies (Katie Woolley, Rose Anna Barker, Aubrey Richards, and Marie Hart) and went to Ecuador to work with the volunteer group OSSO for the spring semester. After returning home I married Daniel in August of 2001.

Dan and I jumped around for the first couple years, living in Utah and Maryland until we finally moved down to Las Vegas in 2003, where we both attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dan graduated with two Masters Degrees (one in History, the other in Social work) and I graduated from the Radiology Program receiving my Radiological Technologist license. I worked at the children's hospital in Vegas and loved every minute of it.

A shocking blow came to our little family, when on February 3, 2005 I was diagnosed with a rare form of bone and connective tissue cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. Consequently, I underwent two radical surgeries and 14 rounds of intensive chemotherapy. Four blood transfusions, and a year of treatment later and not to mention 20 lbs. lighter, I was pronounced in remission and I have had clean scans ever since!

Unfortunately or fortunately (whatever way you care to look at it) cancer changes every aspect of your life. I was told that I would most likely never be able to have children. I began to research survival rates and learned that a Vegetarian diet proves greater survival. I have been living off of plant based whole foods since and I have never felt healthier. I also decided that I wanted to further my education and in 2008 I began my schooling to become a Chiropractic Physician.

About two months after starting school in Texas, another shock came to our family; except this time it was good news. I was unexpectedly pregnant! I gave birth to our sweet little boy, Henry, on December 26, 2008. After taking four months off, I started back into school and I am planning on graduating with my Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine in December of next year.

In our spare time Dan and I love to travel and we have been to 29 states and 3 countries together. We love the outdoors and hiking with our dogs. We love being Vegetarians and are active members of Farm Sanctuary and the Society of Peace.

I'm so sad that I am not able to make it to our class reunion. Go Darts!

The fall semester after high school I headed down to Provo and went to UVSC. I roomed with 3 amazing girls and fellow alumni, Lindsay (Holding) Anderson, Paige (Morgan) Burgin and Darci (Racker) Timothy. It was there where I met my husband. He lived in the stair well next to ours and was in our ward. We were actually just good friends for the most part of the year. I attended UVSC the 1st semester and then I just worked at Deseret Book the 2nd semester to save money. At the end of February 2001 I started to date my husband seriously, 3 weeks later we talked about marriage, and at the end of March we got engaged. Very quick I know, but like I said we had been friends for awhile before. A few weeks after we got engaged he had to head out to Chicago to sell alarm systems (something he had already committed to doing before we started dating). So we were apart for most of our 5 month engagement. While he was gone I got the chance to be an EFY counselor, it was an amazing experience and it was something I had always wanted to do. I did 2 weeks at BYU, 2 weeks at Ricks, another week at BYU and did my last session at Utah State. My husband returned from Chicago 2 weeks before we got married. We were married August 18, 2001 in the Salt Lake Temple.

We lived in Kaysville for the first 4 months of our marriage down the street from my parents. We then moved to the Holiday area where we lived a little over a year. It was when we lived there that my husband graduated from the U of U and then my husband started working for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I worked at a child care at South Davis Hospital. We then moved to Sandy where we had our first child, a son, Brock in June of 2003. It was then I decided to stop working and become a stay at home mom. In October 2003 my husband took a job with The University of Phoenix, so we packed up our things and moved to North Phoenix. We lived there about a year and then started to build a house out in Queen Creek, AZ. While our first home was being built we moved in with my husband's parents in Lake Forest, CA. It was there that he started to learn his dad's business as a scheduling consultant. Six months later we moved into our first home in April 2005, my husband started to try and expand his dad's business out to AZ. In October 2005 we welcomed our 2nd son, Daxton. At the end of May 2006 we decided to move to Southern California. My husband's business wasn't picking up out in AZ and he was traveling a lot to California for work, so we decided to move. We moved to Lake Elsinore, CA and have lived here ever since. We still own our home in AZ and are renting it out. We've been renting our current home for 4 years and are in the process of buying a home out here in the same city we live in. In July 2008 we welcomed our 3rd child, a daugher, Mckynlee. We love it out here. We have so many friend and young families out here. Disneyland is 45 minutes away, the beach is an hour, we love all the things to do out here. And hey you can't complain about the great weather. Plus, its very affordable where we live. We are also expecting our 4th child, I am due November 13th. I enjoy staying at home with my kids. I was a Modbe Consultant for awhile until they went out of business this last December. I love to exercise, sew, scrapbook, craft, blog (and of course I have no time for any of it). So thats me in a nutshell these past 10 years.
