Janese (Bateman) Botelho



After graduation I went to Dixie and got my Associates in 3 semesters.  I then served a mission in Santiago, Chile.  After my mission I went up to Logan to attend USU's elementary ed program.  There I met my husband Carlos.  He was visiting from Brazil for General Conference and was in Logan staying with some friends who happened to live next door to me.  We started a VERY LONG distance relationship and were married about a year and a half later in May of 2007.  Since that time my husband has corrupted my Spanish and turned it into Portuguese.  I transferred down to BYU and changed my major to Linguistics and graduated in August of 2008 with a very large pregnant belly.  In October of 2008 we had a little boy, and we had our beautiful little girl 3 weeks ago in February of 2011.  My husband just got a job in Boise so we've moved up to Idaho and are still adjusting and making new friends.

 Some of my favorite memories from High School are eating lunch on the floor of the Seminary Building with Brother Day and my friends.  Hanging with Alyssa Cunningham, Caralee Banks, Kim Dickman and Marie Jones.  Doing service projects with the RASKALS and Honor Society and spending time at football games.

Chrissy (Campbell) Lee & Tamron Lee


THEN



NOW





After graduation, Tamron went on a mission to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. I stayed in St. George and went to Dixie and worked at Pine View High and Sunset Elementary in the Special Education Departments. Tamron returned home April 2004 and we were married July 31. Our first year of marriage was filled with school, work, and some traveling through Europe.

We had our first baby, Phoebe in March 2006 then moved to Shanghai, China in November that same year.  Tamron ran an exporting company for the 9 months we were there. We moved back to St. George after China and Tamron finished his Bachelor degree at Dixie. We had our second baby, Nate, July 2008. We moved to Cedar in the summer of 2009 so Tamron could finish up school at SUU. He graduated with an MBA in May 2010. After graduation, Tamron was offered a job at Dixie College as the coordinator of the testing center so we moved back to St. George. We just had our third baby, Suzy, December 2010.

Some of my favorite memories from high school would have to be cross country trips, eating at Burger Place (so sad that it’s gone), dances, drive-by’s, dating Tamron, choir trips, having funny friends, inside jokes with Kori Boren, writing notes back and forth in Psychology on Melenie Lloyd’s book cover, going to Bishops for breakfast, working at Charlie’s with Crystal and Abby, swimming at the canals, and night hikes.

Chris Jones



I served a mission to the islands of Micronesia. Served on the Island of Guam and Yap (google it). It was awesome serving in such a remote and awesome place. I went to Dixie State College and was on Student Government there for 2 years, President of the Rebel Crew, served on the Institute Council and received the Dixie spirit award. While at Dixie I did high end cabinetry/woodwork and worked part-time as a Limo Driver, "It's ok I am a limo driver!" was my favorite thing to say every time I drove. I also started a DJ company with my younger Brother and we have been doing dances, weddings and parties ever since. I also have my own side company doing high end custom woodwork and furniture. I met my wife Jenalyn at a singles ward in St. George and we have been married for 5 years. We have a super fun 3 year old girl named Aniston who just turned 3 last August. After DSC we moved up to Salt Lake City so I could continue my schooling at the University of Utah. I am studying Exercise and Sports Science and also getting a minor in Nutrition. I am applying for grad school at the U of U in Sports Psychology and then I will go on to get a doctorate of Physical Therapy. I hope to work with college and elite athletes by helping them physically and mentally prepare for their competitions. While in SLC I started working for Backcountry.com, an online outdoor retailer. I have been working there for a little over two years and work with the four online bike sites. I am the merchandise programmer for Chainlove.com and Bonktown.com. I also do the social network/marketing for the four sites as well. I really enjoy anything to do with bikes and I have been racing road, mountain and cyclocross for the last 2 years. I have also been competing in triathlons and running events.

Memories:
Some of the best times I can remember about high school was just hanging out with friends in the halls, messing around during track practice and hanging out on the weekends. We had an awesome class and I am glad I am still in touch with a lot of you.

Crystal (Fawson) Mickelsen


In the past ten years I've moved seven times; married my EFY sweetheart; graduated with a degree in Interior Design; had two baby boys (Lincoln is 4 1/2 and Henry is 2); remembered about my love of cooking and reading and discovered the joy of knitting, working out, and eating good food.  We currently live in San Antonio where my husband works as a transponster...er, business analyst, and I am trying my hardest to raise happy and healthy boys.  


My memories of High School include working at Charlie's, going to State Basketball with Jace C. & Morgan G., Seminary Council meetings, being awesome with Georgia M., Alyssa C. and Cindy K., hiking Angel's Landing, going to stake dances and Stomps, eating French bread and yogurt for lunch, Mr. Nelson's class, Mr. Page's class, Mr. Higgins' class, having Clint S. make fun of my hairy legs in front of the whole school, rock climbing with Tyson J. & Taylor R., going on the funnest group activities for dances, sleeping over at Chrissy C.'s house, going chalking and doing drive-by's, going to The Burger Place for lunch, making boats for physics with Aaron S., going to Wet n Wild for Senior Sluff, going skiing with Jared D. & TJ L., playing in the sprinklers on the golf course, playing volleyball at Vernon Worthen, orchestra, orchestra, orchestra, and lastly, having to recite poems in Spanish that I absolutely had not memorized (except for the title, of course!  En Paz por Amado Nervo.  Ha!)   




Can't wait for the reunion!


Take care,
Crystal Fawson Mickelsen

Lisa (Briseno) Johnson


After graduating from Pine View HS, I went to Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky for two years where I majored in English and Journalism. I then transferred to California State University of San Bernardino to save money on tuition and to be closer to my mom. I graduated from CSUSB in 2006 with a BA in English and Creative Writing. Since then I've worked at various office jobs while at the same time continued pursuing my writing career. I've had poetry published in local literary journals and hope to one day publish a collection of short stories.
   
In June of 2007 I met Christopher Johnson on a blind date and we've been together ever since. In March of 2009 we welcomed our baby girl, Iris Ann Marie and in October of that same year we got married. Currently we live in the beautiful Southern California mountain town of Lake Arrowhead and we are just striving to be a healthy and happy family.
   
My favorite memories from high school are being the co-editor of our senior yearbook with Robyn Ackerman and spending the weekends at parties with my friends, going to local shows, being involved with the Calvary Chapel youth group, going to Denny's at 2 in the morning and cruisin' the Boulevard when there was nothing else to do.
