After HS graduation I went on a mission to San Fernando, California. Then shortly after returning home I met the girl of my dreams at a fellow 01'er's house, Aaron Stapley, while playing a rousing game of Settlers of Catan. Sharry and I dated for a couple of years, then were engaged and married the winter of 2006. We had a pretty awesome honeymoon where we backpacked through Europe for six weeks the cheapest anyone has ever done it. We did it camping, eating bread and cheese from little grocery bags we carried around, sleeping at rail stations (we pretty much were foreign bums) and when we were feeling ritzy in hostels. I graduated from Dixie with my Associate and then transferred clear up to SUU. While there I got my BS in Social Sciences Secondary Education. We then decided since we both graduated we might as well go teach English abroad. So we moved to South Korea where we were each responsible for an entire elementary school. I grew to love kimchi and Korean BBQ and to appreciate a very different culture. I am currently in Grad School through the UofU working to be a school counselor and should finish Spring 2012. No kids but we did put some roots down and got a cute little kitty last fall. Oh and I think I've put on like 30-40 lbs, married life and a love for eating will do that to you. (o:

HS memories: fun dances and the crazy nerves that came with those, what happens when you can't dance and are with whatever girl you had a crush on at the time. Cross country was good times not so much for the running (not good times, bad times) but for all the fun folks on it, math class with Mr. Christensen all three freaking years and watching him play Star Craft or whatever it was during class, the fabulous Mr Page, gummi worming, making cat cutouts and freaking out cars, sophomore girls, senior trip to San Diego and Tijuana, loads of fun concerts, journalism, and all you good people. High School was fun, horrible, crappy, amazing, happy, depressing, full of friends, lonely and so much more.

After graduating, I immediately trained for and ran my first St. George marathon. I went to Dixie for 2 years where I got my Associates Degree. I also served on the Institute Council where I met my husband, Will Shrout (Dan Shrout's older brother). We got married in July 2003, and transferred up to BYU that fall. I got my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, where I taught for a year as an intern teaching 2nd grade. I did a couple of long-term substitute jobs for a few months. I stay home now with my sweet, yet rambunctious two little boys! Ian is 4 1/2 and Calvin is 2 1/2. We are expecting our third boy in March 2011. I love spending my free time writing YA fantasy and reading anything I can get my hands on! 
 
Memories: Writing ongoing comic book with Georgia in Mr. Talbot's AP History class; CRAZY group dates with Georgia M., Chrissy C., Kori B., Kiarah C., Crystal F., Holly W., Cindy K., Heidi H., Nate W., Dustin H., Jared D., Jon S., Spencer E., Cameron M., etc; fun cross-country trips; going to Charlie's, Mr. Page's class (the video with the earthquake drill and him putting the stool on his head), band trips, pep band, Mr. Holt, choir trips, being late to first period Journalism daily, eating lunch in Seminary building hallway, Honor Society meetings with Alison K., Bro. Ford's scripture mastery cards, watching movies in Spanish (that I can never watch again in English) in Sr. Geiger's class, having my locker next to cool Crystal F., sitting next to Chris C. in Mr. Cottle's math class trying to figure out proofs, Wet 'n Wild Sr. Sluff trips, studying like crazy for AP tests/ACT test, DMB concerts with Nate W., Dustin H., Spencer E., and Jon S., girls' nights sleepovers and drive-bys, crashing the boys' campout at 3 a.m. Whew. That just exhausted my pregnant brain...

Wow, 10 years... part of me is shocked that I've already been graduated for 10 years and the other part barely seems to remember High School and all the fun (drama) that came with it!  After High School I attempted a little college at DSC and then thought I would attempt to experience life outside St. George in Logan, but it also was short lived.  I was back in St. George by 20 and haven't left since!  I truly love Southern Utah and am so grateful that I have been able to start my own family here.  I worked for about 5 years between Southern Utah Title and First American Title as an Escrow Officer (the person that signs the papers with you when you buy a house or refinance your house).  During that time I met my husband, Scott and we were married in January 2006.  Believe it or not we actually met at our LDS singles ward!  Scott is from Grantsville, UT (West of SLC in Tooele County) and he is a Graphic and Web Designer.  We have our own design business Dana Six, but he mainly contracts with H&S Performance (Bentley Hugie's company).  I loved working and learning, but jumped at the opportunity to be home once we decided to start our own family.  We had our first son, Nathan, in July 2008 and our lives were forever changed.  Nathan is a little mini-Scott, but we are discovering he has his mother's attitude and patience (or lack of) very quickly!  Jeffrey Von joined our family in May 2010.  We thought we were going to get a little passive guy, but his little personality is quickly making us think otherwise.  He is opinionated and wants what he wants!  Between making sure they are fed, doing housework, and wiping bums we are laughing, crying, and fit throwing (them and us), but we are one dang happy little family!  We are also lucky enough for our boys to have 17 of their 22 cousins all here in Southern Utah. As a family we love to ride dirt bikes and 4 wheelers, go camping, go on trips, play at the park, have popcorn movie nights, and hang out with all our friends and family!

What do I remember from HS?  My head goes directly to all the teams I played on, mainly Soccer and Basketball!  Those were some good times!  Eating Charlie's sandwiches, Pasta Factory the night before a game, bus trips, N Sync, Damn Gina's, Page bball tournament, swimming after soccer tryouts, really the list could go on forever!  I also remember good times with Gordo (Jessica Gordon) and let's not forget all the fun HS boyfriend memories!  haha :)  Oh and restitution.  Sadly, I spent way to much time there!  I hope everyone is healthy and happy and can't wait to catch up with everyone at the reunion!
