KELLEN BIRCH

I have enjoyed seeing how everyone is doing. I have stayed in the area since 2005 I married Sam in 2007. She went to Madison and was 2 years younger than us. We have one kid Lola she is 5. I have worked at Taylor Chev since 2005. Life is good I still see most of my friends from high school. (People said I'd never see these friends after HA) I haven't changed much. Drag raced  Motorcycles, Waterski a ton and last year picked up Bicycle racing and Triathlons and I have loved it. I can't wait to see everyone at the 10 year!

NICOLE (WILLIAMS) WINEGARDNER

Hello all! It's been so fun reading about everyone's updates! After graduation I bummed around Rexburg a few months then headed south to BYU-Provo and met my husband BYU style at ward prayer.  We got married August 2007. We had our first little girl October 2008 (Samantha, now 6). Post graduation, we moved on over to California for a year, and now we are in Charleston, West Virginia where my husband is attending grad school. He graduates at the end of April and we have no idea where we will go after that, and it's exciting! We love the east and hope to stay out here somewhere... but you never know!  We have added 2 more children to the mix Jase (4) and Everett (14 months) and I am a stay at home mom and love it (most days). I'm excited to hopefully see you all at the reunion! Coincidentally, the date picked is the ONLY weekend all summer that there is chance I can make it :)

CHELSEA (WOOD) ROLLINS

Hi everyone! It's been fun hearing from a few of you, and I hope to continue hearing more! I met my husband snowboarding at Grand Targhee and we have been married just over 8 years now. After my Bachelor degree at BYU-I, we moved to Philadelphia where I got my Master's Degree as a Physician Assistant and am now working as a PA in Dermatology in St George, Utah. I love my job and I work with some amazing people. We plan to stay here long-term. I have taken up rock climbing the last few years as well as some road biking, and swimming. We plan on adding one or two little ones to our family within the next few years. We are thinking either Border Collie or Australian Shepherd. Thanks to all of you for the kindness and love you have shown me, and for the inspiration you have been. I look forward to hearing about more of you.

HEATHER (MCLELAND) PHILLIPS

10 years has flown by! After graduation I moved to South Carolina and worked as a nanny for a family with 4 kids.  I got to travel with the family and see so much of the east coast! I moved to Utah in April 2008 to attend Dental Assisting school at a technical college in Orem. I fell for the sexiest co-worker ever at Papa Murphy's and we were married 7 months after we started dating in January 2009. 

I graduated in May 2009 and worked for a year in a dental office in Springville before becoming a mom.

We welcomed our first little boy, Stratton in January 2011.  He is 4, sweet, funny and the world's biggest fan of airplanes.

​In November 2012 Maddox joined our family.  He is 2 and such a feisty little guy! He loves being just like his big brother and loves to make us laugh.

​We are also expecting our 3rd little boy in April.  We are going to be super busy but can't wait for our little guy to get here!

We are currently living in West Jordan, UT where my husband is the Produce Manager at Macey's (it's like a Broulim's). I am a stay at home mom love being home with my babes.  We are an airplane family.  My husband Justin loves RC airplanes and we try to get out to fly as much as possible.  We hope to come to the reunion and see all your smiling faces!

JERUSHA (EVANS) HAWKINS

Wow 10 years. I really don't feel that old most days. Over the last 10 years I married the most amazing man Named Russell and we have 3 beautiful children Nazarie is our oldest at 5 Lex is my little redheaded boy (and man is that red hair a handful!) he's 3.  Then we have teeny tiny Ariadne who just turned 18 months. My hubby graduated from BYU-I and went to grad school at Pen State where he got his degree in Acoustics. We now live in BEAUTIFUL Fort Worth Texas where the weather is divine. I spend my kiddos nap times running my small Etsy business (thebeeinyourbonnet.etsy.com) but most of my down time is devoted to a non-profit that is dear to my heart called NICU Helping Hands. We take donated wedding gowns and turn them into bereavement and burial gowns for babies that pass away. check out nicuhelpinghands.org

MONICA (HOOK) MCCOY

Yup, it's totally been 10 years and yeah I feel it, old! haha.I haven't been traveling the world or anything cool like that but I love my life!

I met my amazing bearded husband Jon in 2007 and finally tied the knot on October 18, 2008. We bought our amazing house in 2012 just outside Rexburg in little ole Newdale Idaho. We love our little farm community, the people are great!

We both work in juvenile corrections at JCC in St. Anthony most know it as the old reform school. I love my job, it's not for everyone, and patience plays an important roll in working with criminals and troubled teens but it's very rewarding when you can make an impact even if it's just on one kid.

For the most exciting news after 4 years of trying to start a family, Jon and I will welcome our daughter Harlie Marie McCoy in April. We are beyond excited and can't wait to be parents.

Keep the updates coming I love reading them.

KIMBALL ARRITT

Time flies! Right after graduation I went to Eastern Oregon University to play football. I played the 05 season then put in my papers to serve a mission. I served my mission in Guadalajara, Mexico. It was an awesome experience that I relect on often. Upon returning I attempted to pick up the game again in 2008 at Snow Jr. college. But on first day of practice I partially tore my right hamstring. During rehab I decided to hang up the cleats and focus on getting an education. I went back to the Burg to attend BYU-I where I met my wonderful wife Sara in 2010 in a service organization on campus. We married in 2011 and I graduated in April 2012. Right after graduating I enrolled in Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis Missouri. I will graduate in December of this year as a Doctor of Chiropractic with a  masters in Sports Rehabilitation. Since coming to St. Louis Sara and I have had two amazing children. Laila Ann in August of 2013 and Kelly Scott in January of this year. Being a Father is by far the most amazing things I have ever been apart of.

 We have been very blessed thus far and we are looking forward to the future. After I graduate this December we plan on coming back west to open up my own Chiropractic Practice. There are many places we would like to go, but as of yet we are undecided of which location we will call home.  I wish I could make the reunion, but school keeps me pretty busy and very poor. Haha.

CRYSTAL (MCCULLOCH) WILLIAMS

Wow!  How has it been 10 years already?!?  Time has sure flown by quick, but it has been a great 10 years.  In the Fall of 2008, I followed a young man that I had met that January to Utah.  He was going to school at Utah State, and I wasn't about to let him get away haha.  We dated off and on for 2 years and finally got married in May 2010.

We finished up school and graduated December 2011.  I got my associates degree and my husband, Wes, got his bachelors degree in mechanical engineering.

We welcomed our daughter, Shailee Lynn to the world on January 30, 2012. 

She is such a sweetheart and we love her dearly.  From day one, she was a drama queen and still is.  As well as a daddy's girl.

In 2013 we bought our first house and are living in Layton, Utah.

We love it here in Layton.  I am a stay-at-home mom and Wes works for the gas company, Questar, in SLC.

This past year, on September 2, 2014, we welcomed our son Aiden Weston to the world.

He has been a great addition to our family and we love him dearly too!

JESSICA (FAUGHN) BEARD

Whew! 10 Years...We are getting old! ;) My family and I still live over here in Teton Valley on Nates family's ranch and we find ourselves extremely blessed to do so. Nate and I now have 3 children: Our daughter Peyton is 6 years old, Myah she is 4 years and our little man Micky Clayton is 15 months. They are the greatest loves of my life! Last year was a year of firsts, a few of them were running my first 5k, went white water rafting down the Payette, took our girls on their first pack trip in the mountains, and our oldest started Kindergarten.

For the most part I get to stay at home and be mommy and the rest of the time I am making cakes. My business has really taken off this last year and I find myself more and more busy. Its a learn as I go business since I'm self taught but I do find it immensely enjoyable. Cant wait to see everyone at the reunion!

LAUREN HAYES

Hey all! Been a long nine years! I have been in pocatello this whole time! (Lol) I am just about ready to graduate this May from nursing at ISU. I have a son, his name is Liam. He is my life! Kids are such a blessing. I work in the mental health field and have for five years. I love it. It really has been a crazy ride! Can't wait to see you all!

BRANDON FORSGREN

Hello everyone,

     It is so good to hear from all of you that I have heard from so far.  I have stayed in touch with some of you on Facebook since we graduated school.  Currently my wife (Jen) and I are living in Laramie Wyoming where we are both attend The University of Wyoming as full time students.  My wife Jen has a couple of years left and she’ll graduate in Interior Design.  I’m majoring in Computer Engineering and going for my masters in that major.  While both of us are going to school full time we somehow manage spending time with our 3 sweet little boys.  Taij is our oldest who is turning 3 on the 21^st of Feb. then we have a set of identical twins, yes you heard me right identical twins, Payton and Paxton who are 1.  So as you can image we are very busy with school and our little family, but we are enjoying life to the fullest and wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I would love to attend a 10 years reunion if we get one put together, and I hope to see all of you there as well.

LISA (NELSON) JUDD

Hello Everyone!
Wow! Ten years has gone by sooo fast, but they have been so wonderful! I graduated in massage therapy at Utah College of Massage Therapy and then practiced in Texas for a year prior to going on a mission. I then served in the Japan Hiroshima mission and met some wonderful people. I wish Japan was closer! After my mission, I started school at Brigham Young University and I will be doing my student teaching this coming Fall Semester before graduating in Elementary Education. My first year at BYU I also met my husband and we got married April 2011 in the Bountiful temple. We had our first baby this last July and we couldn't be happier with our little family of three! Life is wonderful! I'm so excited to hear how everyone else is doing! :)

PAIGE HANSEN

Hey y'all! 

I'm living in St.Anthony, Idaho working in Ashton at the living center as a CNA!   I'm enjoying life to the fullest and try living as if everyday could be my last! I'm so happy I bumped into Katherine Crouch Stronks the other day and she added me to our class on face book! I definitely want to go to our 10 year reunion so please keep me informed on what's happening! Glad to see everyone is doing so great!

Thanks for being the first, Paige! We will continue to keep you all updated!

Almost there . . .

The 5 year reunion is only a week and a half away!

We've decided to keep it simple this year, and save our limited resources for the 10 year since so many people are still busy with summer jobs, finishing school, budding careers, moving, babies, etc. and so few people have had time to help out.

Pack your picnic basket and head over to the South Shelter at Smith Park for a nice, relaxing evening with old friends. Feel free to bring any good lawn games you have.

Details:
5-7 pm on Saturday, August 14th.
Smith Park, South Shelter
Bring your own picnic.

Updates about the five-year reunion

Great news! We now have an official time, date, and place for the five-year reunion. Mark your calendars for August 14th, from 5-7pm at Smith Park.

The old high school was first choice for the reunion location, but with the high school transitioning to the new building this summer, neither building was available for the reunion.

Now that we're getting closer to the reunion, we really need help making the final arrangements!

There are two ways we need your help:

First of all we need volunteers! If you're willing to help plan the reunion, please let us know. Send an email to madisonhigh2005@gmail.com, leave a comment on this post, or write a message on our Facebook page. So many people have busy plans this summer, and we're having a hard time finding people to help finish putting the reunion together.

Second, we need to get an idea of how many people are planning on coming to the reunion. Please respond to the poll about whether or not you're coming to the reunion. This will help us get an idea about how much interest there really is for the five-year (rumors have it that a lot of you are planning on ditching out this year!)

Thanks for all your help! And just a friendly reminder, don't forget to tell your MHS friends about the blog and the Facebook group, and we'd love to publish a post about what you've been up to since high school!

Addresses

We plan on mailing invitations for the reunion around a month or so before it takes place. We'll be using the high school's record of everybody's addresses as of graduation. If you would rather have the announcement sent directly to your current address instead, you can either post your new address as a comment on this post, on the Facebook discussion thread, or send it to madisonhigh2005@gmail.com.
Thanks!

The reunion location poll has closed

Voting for the location of the reunion concluded last week. You picked:
1st choice: The old high school
2nd choice: Smith Park
I'll post the definite location after it has actually been reserved, hopefully sometime this week.
Thanks for your participation!

Location Location Location!

Cast your vote for the location of the reunion in the poll on the sidebar. Vote for both your 1st and 2nd choices, since we don't know for sure yet what locations will actually be available.

Feel free to leave a comment on this post if there's some other location you'd be excited about. Maybe we'll sneak a last minute entry into the poll.

As always, don't forget to tell your friends from MHS '05 about the blog and Facebook page, and write a post about you or your family and send it in for the blog!

It's Official!

The votes are in, and the reunion will be planned for August 14, 2010. Stay tuned for details about location, time, activities, etc.
