Andrea Uren

I'm still living in Lanse - am still with Tim - am a nurse (believe it or not). Who would have ever thought. I've been working at the hospital here in Lanse for about 13 years now.
I work with Polly now, and see Mizz Rajala often - which is very cool. I also work with Heidi and have daily laughs about basically anything. We can just look at each other and laugh. She gets me in that sense. Now that I'm thinking about it - I work with Raeanne too, and Holly Barnett - and Debbie AKA Larson too dang! I am around alot of classmates - more than I thought.
I'm pritty excited about this reunion - holy shit, 20 years. What the heck? I don't really feel like I've grown up - whether thats good or bad - who knows.

Thinking back, I kinda feel bad about the teachers I tormented, but not that bad.
Remember Christiansen and his check marks on the board? What was up with that? I remember always having check marks behind my name and having to stay after school.

Remember in Mr. Owens class I drew a picture of him that was very life like - I thought, he caught me with it, grabbed it out of my hand, looked at it and said, "Not bad, Miss Uren", he took it and stuck it on his chalk board. I've run into him a few times in Houghton and he just pretends he doesn't know me :) Whatever Mr. Owen!!

Remember Danner's class - the swim team? Some of yous out there will know what I'm talking about - Carol?!

I just remember having alot of laughs and me and Tim skipping a few hours of class here and there.



Where the hell is Matt Brogan? Does anyone remember that school dance where someone dropped a booze bottle on the dance floor and it smashed all over? Mathew was up on stage looking like he was gonna cry "The dance is over!" was all he said. He didn't even explain why, he just looked so heart broken. It was my peach schnapps pint bottle by the way - those inside pockets in the old jean jacket can only hold so much : ) Mwhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember Camp Nesbit?
I remember when Mary Sikkila tossed that ball thing for a throwing contest and hit that one lady right in the temple and knocked her ass out.
We all sympathized with Mary at the time, but now I think its been long enough that we can all get a chuckle out of it.

I remember Raeanne putting all kinds of makeup all over me at Camp Nesbit in our camp and telling me I looked like a Cover Girl - I thought I was hot shit after that.

Camp Nesbit was a trip all in itself.

Remember in Mr. Owen's class we watched a frickin movie everyday - well, one day I changed the course of history and threw the video tape out the window - Mr. Owen walks in and fiddly--f'd with that VCR player for a good 20 minutes before he realized there wasn't a tape in there and then he didn't know what to do.

What about the time in home ec when I gave Kirk Harsvick a half a hair cut - after seeing the first half he wouldn't let me finish - I did know how to cut hair, I just didn't have any experience with cowlics - woops.

Ever microwave an egg in its shell? NOt cool!

I remember coming home from a gravel pit party and sneaking up to my room - looking in the mirror and my whole face was black especially my nostils from them damn tires they used to burn.

Question - why were the Usimaki twins at all our parties? Remember when they were trying to learn numchucks? What a treat to watch.

I remember my cousin Danny Uren jumping over the fire at Bloomer hill - alls you could see was arms and legs flailing through the air.

What about the band - the Outfield????

Hey Holly - remember that red citation I had? What a hunk of junk. I remember us cruising around in it drinking beer, thinking we were cool until we got to the gas station and I turned the car off, but it kept running making the sickest noise ever. We were trying to pretend we didn't know where the noise was coming from.
I think thats the same car I got stuck in the sand with out at the mouth - frickin junk!!!! It didn't have an oil cap or a gas cap - now what does that tell you - I think I paid $200 for it - what a gem.
