Since graduation, I've lead a very colorful life - in addition to marrying Troy, then divorcing Troy, then re-marrying Troy, we've also been busy raising two active boys. Turns out our oldest, Brett, is a runner; he took up cross-country and qualified for State this fall -not too shabby for a sophomore! In the summer of 2004, our house was hit by a tornado...yep, we were home - scary! Luckily it took less than 3 months to rebuild. Sam's health has become increasingly stable since his last liver surgery last fall, a huge relief for us all! Doctors have given him the green light to play contact sports...first time ever! He signed himself up for EVERYTHING ! Troy's still at Andersen Windows and I'm at Washington County. I absolutely love it there! Hey did I mention that Herbergers is like right down the street??? I am looking GOOD these days - ha! (and a tiny bit broke!!)
Looking forward to seeing everyone in August - thanks to planning committe for putting it all together, I'm sure it's a ton of work!!

Wow, I have a ton of fun stories from OHS! "Rubberneck" was a stitch! I loved state forensics too - other memories include parties at Corey Rud's, Hort 'n Flort w/Mr. Tomforde, sneaking down to the PepperMill to buy custard-filled long johns during study hall (I think Missy's mom gave us a generous discount) oh and I also remember damn-near failing Mr. Jasperson's math class b/c I JUST DIDN"T GET IT!!!! (I still suck at math) The senior class trip was also memorable...what a gorgeous day, huh???
