Reunion Slideshow!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Let's get this party started.... RIGHT!

Well, I've got a lot of pics to post up on here and on Facebook from the REUNION so I'd better get started!

Just a couple of things to discuss...

First, PLEASE feel free to email any pics you took on the big night to sfhs1994@gmail.com and I'll get them posted.

Second, I am not, I repeat AM NOT a professional photographer. I am asking your forgiveness in advance for any "less than perfect" shots. If I get any names wrong (spellings, spouses, etc... please comment and I'll fix it). I tried really hard to get pics of everyone, but it is more than possible that I failed in this... I'm sorry in advance and ask that if you have pics that you send them to me!

Thanks to everyone who came and participated! A good time was had by all (in my less than humble opinion)I had a great time seeing you all again and I'm looking forward to the 20 Year Reunion already (attending NOT planning... just kidding... not really)

Speaking of reunion planning... here's the Studentbody President from 1994 who will be in charge of the next reunion, Dave Esplin with his lovely wife Kate (Frampton) Esplin

A big thanks to Greg and Heather (Stone) Kitchen who were on the planning committee this year and were responsible for the yummy food (catered by GoodWood BBQ).

Aaron Roach, Aaron Hill, Daishan Roach, Charmay (Cummins) Hill

(you get to figure out who's with who based on the last names)

Leave it to Todd Miller to wear this shirt...

with this skirt...Jenny and Todd Miller

Here is where I would like to point out a SFHS Class of '94 "connection"... Todd's wife Jenny is Carillisa (Lee) Bean's little sister. You see how that works? There are actually quite a lot of those "connections" in our class... It's kind of like that "Six degrees of Separation Theory" or whatever it's called, ONLY wierder... one way or the other about half our class became related through marriage.... really, it's true. Also, would this be a good time to ask "Carillisa where were you?"

Jordan and Jamie Rolfe came up from Arizona to escape the heat... not sure if they succeeded (it's been pretty hot lately)

I like to call these two girls "the Barbie wives"... I hope that's o.k.? I personally wouldn't mind being called a barbie.

Kenion and Holly Davis with Tiffany and Brady Roundy

Abbie (Jensen) Higginson visits with Rachael Gordon and her fiancee Brandon.

More THANKS go to these two for planning the fun activities at this year's reunion
Ben and Michelle Marziale

I've got a million more pictures... I'd like to point out that they can be viewed here on Facebook, where I might add, it is much easier to post and connect the pictures to individuals... hint, hint to those who are still avoiding the inevitable.

Oops... I forgot to add that I will slowly, but surely, be posting the rest of my pics up in the next few days.

Directions to reunion...

The reunion is tonight from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Mapleton City Park pavilion (or the Memorial Hall next door if it's raining).

The address is:
100 E. Maple Street
Mapleton, Utah

Here is a map (use the arrows to move it around and the + and - signs to zoom in and out)...

Remember when...

In preparation for the reunion, I thought i'd post up some "stuff" from the 90's to get us in the mood...

Here's a Coca Cola ad from the 90's...



And I guess if we are going to relive the 90's we had better put in some Michael Jordan...


I'm really having fun now, here's the movie trailer for "Forest Gump"...


More basketball... here's a clip of something from the '94 playoffs I guess - so here you go...


And we had Coke, so we had better throw in this Pepsi commercial (circa 1994) just to be fair...

See You Soon...

Good old FB

If you are on Facebook, PLEASE join THIS GROUP... it will make life so much easier for anyone who happens to be in charge of sending out invites to the upcoming, and all future reunions.

Many Thanks!

One good turn deserves another...

I got a nice note from a classmate this week with an offer I couldn't refuse... (here it is)

"Hey Jamie I think you are doing a great job! I noticed that you mentioned that you were not doing much for decorating, I was wondering if you would like a few fresh flower arrangments for the tables? I work at Mapleton Floral and my boss said she would like to donate them if you like to have them, just let me know thanks. - Stacey (Sanchez)Hatfield"

Thank you Stacey and THANK YOU MAPLETON FLORAL! I don't know about you but I love fresh flowers! I always say that "one good turn deserves another", so if you live anywhere from Payson on up through Orem and you need flowers for any reason - visit the link to Mapleton Floral and give them a call!

A new blog to add...

Welcome to Heather (Christensen) Allred and here is her blog...
http://chic-clipshair.blogspot.com/

If you've got girls it's worth a look! I see all the tips on how to do cute things to their hair, but my question is how do you get them to sit still for it (I've got three girls myself)?

ATTENTION!!!!

A few days ago, after waking from a nightmare in which I dreamed that it was the day of the Class Reunion and I had forgotten all about it... not "forgotten" like I just didn't show up, but rather "forgotten" as in didn't buy any food and find entertainment, etc... I realized that I had better stop procrastinating this Paypal thing. After all, we do have to get an early headcount and put in an order for the caterers at least a month in advance. And that is coming right up!

Soooooooo... without any further ado (and so I can sleep at night) I would like to introduce the handy dandy Paypal button to purchase your tickets to the reunion. See it?

It's right over there----------------------------------------------------->
in the sidebar.

A couple of things to note...

First, if you don't have a Paypal account..................... please get one.

Ummm... just kidding, sort of (seriously though, they do come in handy if you live in the 21st century). But if you are still resisting the idea, go ahead and send a check to me VIA SNAILMAIL at the following address...

NEVER MIND... I felt a little (o.k. MORE than a little) uncomfortable with my name and address up here for anyone and everyone to see... so if you want to mail me a check, email me at sfhs1994@gmail.com and I'll email you my info. Thanks!

Second, The price is now $16.00 per person. I know I said we were going to keep it under $15, but we didn't. I'm just hoping that extra dollar doesn't keep you away. I needed it to pay for the paypal button... and maybe you'll be getting a bigger brownie for dessert now.

REMEMBER when you are ordering through paypal to order 2 tickets if you are bringing someone with you (which you are more than welcome to do). Also, somewhere in your order please leave a comment with your name in it (including your maiden name so we can figure out who you were/are - you know what I mean).

I think I've covered everything, but's it's VERY possible that I'm missing something crucial here, so if you catch something or think of something I've left out PLEASE feel free to let me know.

TELL EVERYONE YOU KEEP IN CONTACT WITH FROM THE GOOD OLD CLASS OF 1994 ABOUT THIS POST!!!!!! THANKS!

UPDATE**** I knew I was forgetting something... In the interest of keeping things simple, I hadn't planned on sending you an actual ticket in the mail or anything. I'm just planning on keeping a list of people who've paid for tickets and then I'll hire a bouncer (or maybe just someone who looks tough from our class) to stand at the door and ID you all. Sound good?

Also, it's probably a good idea to note the place, date, and time of the reunion here...

DATE: July 25th, 2009 (It's a Saturday)
PLACE: At the outdoor pavilion and Memorial Hall in Mapleton (the Mapleton City Park) I'll post a map up on here soon to show the exact location. The best thing is, we're covered in any sort of weather! (The park is located at the Maple Street and Main Street intersection)
TIME: 6:00 p.m.
Dress is casual.

SLOWPOKE

I'm getting a little behind on my self inflicted (I mean "self appointed"... I really do) posting duties.

Here is a link to Nathan Cox's blog - WELCOME!

Also, coming soon... I'm trying to figure out a way to set up a PAYPAL button on here so you can all pay your dues... I mean your reunion fees (because I know you have all been dying to check that off your "TO DO List"...

Thank you for your patience!

Reason to celebrate...

Our problem is solved! We have found a place to hold the reunion. Many THANKS to all of you who posted and emailed suggestions. We looked into ALL of them (well, except maybe Carillisa's street plan - which did sound fun, but I can't imagine her neighbors would agree). In the end it was Robyn (Jackson) Stone who saved the day! We have now rented the outdoor pavillion and the Memorial Hall (in case of inclement weather) in Mapleton. And we got a SWEET deal - thanks to Robyn. So the reunion is a go!

Now all I've got to do is set up a Paypal button on here so you all can pay up (coming soon)! There are just a couple more details to iron out before then...

ONE MORE THING... I got an email from Connie (Cloward) Phillips the other day and she sent a link to her website for your viewing pleasure... http://www.conniephillips.com/ - check it out!

A Selfish Request...

Other than the usual fame and glory that come with heading up this blog I haven't asked for much...

...until now.

I need a favor... I hope it's o.k. to ask it of you. I've gone back and forth, should I - shouldn't I? And I've finally concluded that you probably wouldn't mind helping me out a little (and if for some reason, you do mind - you could easily opt out).

So here's what I need. It's a little experimentation in the powers of Google. I need a whole bunch of people (that would be all of you) to click on the following link... http://littlereaderspreschool.blogspot.com/2009/01/list-of-preschools-in-spanish-fork.html

I don't care if you read it or anything like that, I just want to see if I can get it to show up in a Google search for "preschools in Spanish Fork" someday. That's all. Feel free to click on it more than once.

Thanks and have a Happy Easter this weekend!

***UPDATE: You want to know something funny? Now when I google "preschools in Spanish Fork" our class blog pops up right on the second page! Not exactly what I was going for... but I'll take it!

15 YEAR REUNION PLANS

We recently held another planning meeting for our upcoming reunion, here is the rundown...

Where we met... At the home of Austin & Kelly Cope - thanks for hosting us at your lovely home!

Who was there... Austin & Kelly (Hendren) Cope, Greg & Heather (Stone) Kitchen, Michelle (Measom) Marziale & her brand new baby (in place of Ben), Pat & Julie (Nelson) Burnah, and Zak and Jamie (Clark) Dietz. Oh and a bunch of kids! (I'd like to thank the Copes for inviting kids along and letting them run wild both outside and in).

What we did... Well, we talked a lot about kids, jobs, life, etc... THEN we finally got around to the reunion stuff. What can I say? We were having a good time.

So here's what we know...

We have the date for the reunion set for Saturday July 25th, 2009. We all feel it's a good date for several reasons. The main one being that I've received more than a few requests that we coordinate with Fiesta Days because that's when people will be back in town.

Greg & Heather spent a considerable amount of time investigating possible caterers and were prepared with a lengthy list. It all sounded so good, but we eventually narrowed it down to 2 (Bajio's and GoodWood BBQ Company) and took a vote and then I was outvoted... sigh. Despite a last ditch effort by Zak and Austin to sway votes to Little Ceasers $5 pizzas, the votes were tallied and it looks like we will be dining on a menu prepared by GoodWood BBQ Company....mmmm!

We've decided to forgo any major decorating. I can't imagine that decor will be all that important in the long run and we are trying to keep the costs to a minimum. I mean, we are all coming to see each other - not balloons and streamers... right?

Speaking of costs... our goal is to keep it to $15.00 per person ( or $30.00 per couple).

I took on the assignment of posting this announcement, as well as creating a Facebook group page to hopefully get a few more people off the list. We also decided that we aren't going to spend any money on sending out formal invitations (no snail mail). We are sticking to email and internet and hoping that word will spread through these channels. Also, I'm trying to figure out if I can set up some way of taking payment through Paypal that won't eat into our costs, but will make it easy to collect the money and keep track of our guest list. I'm still working on that one.

So far, so good. Now for our biggest hurdle... WHERE to hold the reunion? The perfect place , by this we mean cheap or free yet big enough to host us all comfortably and not too far out of town, has eluded us thus far. Every park and pavilion that we've looked at in town is taken, we checked out the Salem Civic Center (I think that's what it's called) and it is way too expensive, and our last desperate attempt was the lunchroom at the highschool (it's nostalgic, right?). Unfortunately, there is a play that evening so it's a no go! I even called the new Salem High School, but they said they don't allow this kind of thing (whatever that means). SOOOOOO... what to do?

Well, I'm posting this on here in hopes that someone will come up with something that we haven't thought of or one of you is holding out on us and lives in a mansion nearby with lots of space and would like to step up and hold the reunion at your place.

I've put in a couple of calls to some other possibilities and Michelle & Ben are also working diligently towards a solution. I'm confindent something will present itself in due time! I'll keep you all up to date!

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but for now that's all I can come up with... let us know if you've got an idea for us. Thanks!

UPDATE**Our problem is solved! We have found a place to hold the reunion. Many THANKS to all of you who posted and emailed suggestions. We looked into ALL of them (well, except maybe Carillisa's street plan - which did sound fun, but I can't imagine her neighbors would agree).

And we got a SWEET deal - thanks to Robyn. So the reunion is a go!

In Search Of...

I'm bumping this up again... and adding a new comment (of course)! Now that we have this new popular place to meet on the internet... I'm speaking of Facebook (what else?), I've started up a new group on FB (which can be found HERE) and anyone who joins will be considered found and marked off the list below. It's simple, easy, and free to join AND for those of you who don't want to give out your email or any other info. you don't have to! We'll still be able to message you via facebook with the reunion announcements. That's all for today, I'll get down off my Facebook soapbox now... actually I think I'll go check my Facebook wall... later!

ANYTHING you know about how to reach these guys (see the list below)! Email sfhs1994@gmail.com or leave a comment below... As they are found they will be deleted off the list.

I have received lots of info. (thanks) and I am following up on it. I won't usually cross someone off the list until I have confirmed the info. (as in - hearing back from the person in question), so it could take a little while. Thanks for your patience.
