Wow! I can't believe it's been 10 years! After graduating from high school, I went right into good 'ol Evans Hairstlying College and got my Cosmetology license a year later. I had a few adventures to Long Beach, California, and to BYU-Hawaii. I attended Dixie State College for a year total while working as a hairstylist full time to save up and go up to Provo, Utah. I went to UVSC (now UVU) and worked towards getting my pre-req.'s done to go into their Nursing Program, while cutting hair. That was the best decision I ever made! I had the best roommates who I still keep in contact with to this day! There I met Morgan McDuffie, and became good friends with him and his roommates. It was love at first sight (just don't ask my husband for the whole story :)), and we soon were dating, engaged and married in June of 2005. We moved to Provo for schooling when surprise!...I was pregnant! Morgan got a job instead and it all worked out for the best. We soon came back down to St. George for job opportunities, got into a beautiful home and Savanna soon came after. 15 months later we had our little girl Gracie! After a grueling process, Morgan was hired as a Seminary Teacher for the LDS church and now works at Pine View High School---> I have to laugh about that! Of all the places he could be teaching, he's at good 'Ol Pine View! 18 months after Gracie, Joshua came, and he is my little man! My husband finished his Masters and I teach Preschool out of the home, which is challenging but so fun! We have a 4, 3, and 2 year old and a little boy, Caleb, on the way due in May! About 2 years ago, we added onto our home and have Morgan's Dad, Dennis, living with us. Life is crazy, but we couldn't be happier and just love our little piece of Heaven on earth.
My absolute favorite memories from High School would have to be swim team, all the friends, and all the swim trips, but I sure do not miss the hard hard workouts! I loved floating at the lake with the gals, and floating down the canal...I remember Kristen Cox, Megan Leavitt and I busting up for an hour trying to get out of the canal...good times! I loved getting ready and all dressed up for the dances and going and seeing how pretty everyone else looked. I loved loved loved the basketball and football games. I loved "supermanning" it out of the Jeep to go see the witch's ball in the grave yard. I loved concert choir, Mr. Page, lunches at friends' houses, Charlies, and all the friends I made. I just wish I hadn't been so shy and got to know a lot more people. I'm excited to see how everyone is and what everyone has done!
