Alta High School-Class of 1994


Fill this out about your high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be. Re-post with the name of your high school and graduating year.


1. Did you marry someone from your high school? No

2. Did you car pool to school? No, well going home I would. I rode the bus in the morning and then Kimmi would give me a ride home in the afternoon.

3. What kind of car did you have? It was Nissan Pathfinder that I shared with my brothers and since I didn't do extra cirricular activies I really never got to drive it that much.

4. What kind of car do you drive now? an orange VW New Beetle

5. It's Friday night...where are you (then)? Either at Kimmi's or Eleanor's house just hanging out.

6. It's Friday night...where are you (now)? Either at a movie or kickin' it the basement.

8. What do you do now? I'm a paralegal and I work for a company that does corporate governance for small businesses.

9. Were you a party animal? I think everyone can answer this questions on their own....we all know how much I love parties and large groups of people! : )

10. Were you considered a flirt? Nope...way to shy to do much of that

12. Did you get suspended/expelled? Uhhh no, I'm a keep myself under the radar kind of a person.

13. Can you sing the fight song? Apparently I had no school spirit...well that's not true, the unofficial school song was AC/DC Back in Black...and I sorta know that one.

14. Who was/were your favorite teachers? Mrs. Smith my horticulture teacher. She was the best and it was fun to sit outside planting stuff around the school or working in the green house. And she never marked me or Eleanor tardy and let us drink our Cherry Pepsi's in class. (We were her favs what can I say?)

Thanksgiving

Happy Turkey Day! I love this time of year, so many holidays and so many opportunities to be with family! This year was a weird quiet one. Usually I fly to Colorado Springs to be with Jason and Becki and their kidlettes, but that wasn't possible this year. Annnnd Rachie and Doug are all the way in Buffalo NY : ( So it was me, Mom, Dad, Hy, Anne, Sophie, and Aundrea (she's from Peru and goes to BYU) We had a fabulous dinner and all of us got to see Sophia crawl! She learned in Vegas visiting her G'ma and G'pa Kingsley.

I wanted to take a nap, but was forced to play games...whatcha gonna do, especially when there is a guest. After Lunch and games we went to see the movie "Australia" it was pretty good, I would recommend seeing it. Hyrum sacrificed and stayed home to put baby to bed so they were the only ones not present.

My Dad took some pics w/ his camera so I'll see what I can do about getting some posted on here.

Paradise Cafe


Mindy decided that all the girls in the family needed to get together for dinner at the Paradise Cafe in Sandy. It was so much fun to see everyone last night! We sat in the cafe and talked for almost 2 hrs. There was one boy that was allowed, Mindy brought little Cooper. He is such a doll!
As we all gave our hugs and said our goodbyes we decided we need to do these things more often. I really hope we do.

Halloween pics....are better late then never!



That's me on my b-day with my Wonderwoman Barbie and my Wonderwoman swimsuit!
I got to have twice the Halloween fun this year. I dropped by Sabrina and Brad's place the week before Halloween and got to participate in the Sessions family party and then went to a friend's house on All Hallow's Eve and had a lot of fun checking out other peoples costumes and watching people play "Rock Band". Good times had by all!

And the winner is.....

John McCain concedes and Barack Obama steps in as the President Elect. This was not what I wanted but, he will be the President in 2009 and I pray that he will have the Lord's Spirit with him as he learns and grows in his new leadership position and that he will be well protected as he serves the people who elected him.

God Bless America!!!!

This morning I woke up a little anxious for the future state of our great Nation. As I ate my breakfast I watched the news and the coverage gave me more determination to brave the crowds and make my voice heard. Surprisingly I was in and out of the fire station in about 5 minutes and am proudly displaying my "I Voted" sticker.
Today is a day that all should participate no matter what your political affiliation (betcha can't tell who I voted for) Our country gives us the right to make choices and to make our voices heard! Use your voice; I'm especially proud, as a woman, to do just that. Women in this country did not receive the right to cast their ballots until 1920 when the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed.
