Wow, I can't believe it has been 10 years!It has been fun reading about how all of you are doing. Where to begin...after graduation I attended both UVSC and SUU. I found I didn't really like the college scene and decided to become a licensed pharmacy technician. I worked in several different Albertson's pharmacies and at UVRMC, which was an awesome experience. In 2002 while on a date with Eric Nielson I met Brant Perkins' older brother Ryan. After hanging out for a couple months, we had our first official date in October of that same year. By Thanksgiving we were engaged. On March 25, 2003 we were married in the Bountiful Temple. (Is it just me or did quite a few of us marry classmates' siblings??)
A month before I got married my dad opened his first Window World store and asked me to be his office manager. The following October we found out we were expecting our sweet little girl, Olivia.
She is the light of our lives and has her dad and Uncle Brant wrapped around her little finger. After Olivia was born I took a break from Window World and worked part time at The Center For Change, an eating disorder clinic and at a youth crisis shelter. Both of these experiences made me appreciate my husband and daughter more than I thought possible. However, after only a year my parents had a second office to open and needed someone who knew the ropes to run our Spanish Fork location. So currently I am still working for my parents, helping run both our Spanish Fork and Salt Lake City offices. The nice thing about working for family is they don't care if my daughter spends the day with me. Ryan works for Wasatch Mental Health coordinating services for Utah County's homeless, mentally ill. We live in Spanish Fork and couldn't be happier. I won't make it to the reunion as it is my daughter's 5th birthday and she has 24 hours worth of activities planned. I guess that is how it goes when you are an only child of very baby hungry parents :)
