Sorry I missed it

  #
       Heay everyone,  Glad to read some things on here about everyone, sure has been along time, although it sometimes feels like just days ago.  I am currenly living in North Carolina, near the mountains with my wife and 3 kids and loving it,  also I work for AT&T,  and I enjoy that too , usually.  


        It's funny , we all wondered (then) how we'd all turn out, and where we might all go, or end up down the road, and most of us im sure (or maybe just me) never really saw ourselves venturing too far from home, or going down the roads we've travelled, to become the people, we truely turned out to be.

   I hope to perhaps see you all at the next reunion. Untill then , take care everyone, live for today and be HAPPY!

Hey!

Hey.  Wow has time gotten away from me.  I now have 3 kids!  It is a joy but sure makes life crazy.  Kaylee joined brother Ramsey 4 and sister Alexandrea 20months, Dec 28.  We have a website that will show off pics of the family: rdgarner79.spaces.live.com feel free to check it out and leave comments!  I love reading how others are doing even though I don't get on often.  We are living in Streator, IL going on two years now.  I have the joy of staying at home and my husband, Ryan, is a pastor.  Life is full and passing quickly. I hope all is going well.

Hey all!!

  #

Hi all, sounds like you all had a great time at the reunion, sorry I couldn't make it but I wasn't able to make it due to prior plans.  In August I moved to Indiana and currently living in Indianapolis, hoping to move farther south in Indiana next year. I almost moved to North Carolina but things didn't work out and I ended up here. I can't really say I miss Michigan much, we have yet to have snow here! (woo hoo!)  Kids are doing great Gabrielle is now in the 4th grade and doing great and my son Donavon was upset because here in Indiana you have to be 5 by Sept 1st and he turned 5 on Sept 11th. So he is having to wait another year before he gets to start school as he sees it. I think he just wants to ride the big yellow bus!! I still work in the medical field and love it! I do hope to go back to school and finish my degree for sign language interpertor, but that is going to have to wait another yr.  I can be reached via e-mail at candymclellan@yahoo.com.  Congrats to all of those who just had their babies, being a parent is the hardest but most rewarding job anyone could have.   Take care and hope everyone is doing great.

My husband Ken and I want to let everyone know that we had a beautiful baby boy, Landon Kenneth Galea, on September 26th.  He was 7 pounds 14 ounces and 21 inches long.  Both mom and baby are happy and healthy!  Motherhood is very cool.

I flew into Michigan the Thursday before the reunion, but was back out of town on Friday morning on a trip out east. Unfortunately, I had other plans scheduled for that weekend since back in January. Based on some people I spoke with and photos, it looked like everything turned out well.

Michele and I are still in metro-Phoenix. I've been at my current job for over a year and I'm now listed as a Senior Developer, which is a nice way of saying computer nerd. If you've ever seen the movie Office Space, my job resembles that. Fortunately, the money is good.

Bradley turns three in November and he has a new "sibling". We got a Boston Terrier puppy named Norman just about two weeks ago. Michele stays at home with the kid and canine. She's involved with the local MOMS Club and is wrapping up her CMU degree (business administration) over the internet via their distance learning program. She was going to transfer her credits to Arizona State, but would have lost almost a year of classes.

If anyone ever visits Phoenix, drop me a line.

Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!

  #
Hi Everyone!

I am SO HAPPY to hear that you all had a great time at the reunion. I saw some of the pictures...it was so nice to see my old classmates again :)

Nicki mentioned that everyone was already talking about the 15 year...with the way that time flies it will be here before we know it! I plan on keeping this website up so please check back and post often.

Most importantly, Eric and I want to thank everyone for the savings bond you put together for our baby Stefan! Brandy (White) Wambold sent it in a beautiful thank you card. I am very humbled by your generosity. I will make sure that Stefan knows what a cool thing you did for him! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I was all set to attend the reunion. Friday morning I saw my doctor and he saw no sign of the baby coming anytime soon. In fact, we were scheduled to induce labor on Thursday, June 22nd. Friday evening we stopped at Dairy Queen in Fenton for a quick burger and while I was sitting at the outdoor table (thankfully) my water broke. One of the first things out of my mouth was "guess I'm not going to make it to the reunion!".

After 13 1/2 hours of labor, Stefan was born at 8:35 am. By 4:00 Saturday, we were moved into our overnight room. At 6:00 I thought of all of you and hoped the reunion was off to a good start. We brought Stefan home Sunday afternoon...it was quite a special Father's Day for Eric!

Now we're at home and finally starting to get a routine established. We haven't had much sleep and no time for much else that feedings and diaper changes, but it has been a complete joy!

I had a really good time at the reunion.  It was great to see such a good turn out.  Unfortunately, I still didn't make the rounds and get to say hi to everyone.  I hope everyone had as much fun as Josh and I did (my hubby) and I look forward to the next ten years!  I will try and put some pictures on here but some of them came out a little blurry.  If anyone else has some pictures, please  post them!  Take care and thanks again to Andrea -  Congratulations on your baby!  If anyone cares to keep in touch my email is universityfla@yahoo.com  Bye for now - Jenny Norman (Wilson)




HI from the Primeau's!!!

  #
Hello all! Lets see, Its been 10 years already? WOW! Well let's see, I have a 11 year old daughter (Taylor) and a 10 year old son (Ashtyn). I have been married to my soul mate (Robert Primeau) for 11 years this year in September. After high school, we moved to Davison and lived there for about 6 years. I attended Baker College for Clinical Social Work, While Bob was working for Owen Tree Service of Attica. Eventually we moved to Metamora where I got my real estate liscense and worked for John Burt Realty for about a year, Bob decided he wanted to work in construction. So 3 years later we bought our first home here in Vassar in a new sub called Canterbury Woods. *Love the house cant stand the neighbors*
Bob currently is a foremen of a Environmental Service Corporation ( yeah all that michigan tech education finally came in handy) As for me I work for SEIU local 517M, out of Flint. We are a Service employee union and I am currently a organizer and office manager. I get a lot of satisfaction out of my job (im such a liberal) and I am proud that I am a part of something that is important. Along with my job we are always traveling all over the USA and meeting all sorts of people. Its interesting to say the least! We are organizing a company right here in Vassar, which is great, it means no more hotel rooms for me for a little while! Ill be off to Lansing for 9 months at the end of September, so I am trying to enjoy my house and family while I have the chance. So if you know anyone who works in Headstarts, or Mental health that wants to be organized call me 517-281-6138
We just adopted 2, 2 month old black labs, Bear and Yasmin and they are a handful! And here I thought kids were a lot of work!
So anyone that would like to get ahold of me my email is lprimeau@seiu517m.org or my yahoo ID is (LOL) i_sold_my_kids_on_ebay  (its supposed to be funny people laugh!!) Hope to hear from you all, and God bless.

Pictures from the Reunion!!

  #

Well I hope everyone had as much fun as I did on Saturday night. It was awesome to see everyone, and to hear where everyone lives, who's married, who has children, and to see who's changed and who hasn't. I posted a new album of pictures, so check them out. Anyone who wants me to e-mail them, please let me know. I didn't know how else to get back to it, so here's the link.

The Reunion

  #
I just wanted to say that I had a really good time.  I can't complain about anything other than I had wished Andrea Austin could have been there (maybe with her baby).  I send my best wishes out to her.  I was thrilled to talk to many of you during my time there.  My wife says you all seem very nice.  I would love to get together with some of you on a personal basis, especially those with kids so our little Alexandria can have some fun.  Big points to Nick and Kevin Anderson for the music.  Their presentation was way above par.  Don't complain when your too old to dance either, cuz I was willing to tear up some carpet... well too bad.  You could have had some laughs with that.  Well anyway my number is 517-546-5432, email iggyology at hotmail or yahoo or add me to your messenger and wait for me to pop up.  I also have an msn space under iggyology for pics and blogs and all that stuff.  Please, take a look.  Sincerely, Vince.
