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!

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!

In Search Of...
I think the easiest way to keep everyone corralled in the same spot and disperse information quickly is going to be our Class Facebook page (which can be found HERE), 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. HOWEVER, we do realize that Facebook is not everyone's cup of tea. So, if we can get an email address or phone # for texting instead, we'll take it.
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.

End of the year cleanup...
We've got a little business to take care of today...
First, A couple of blogs have gone private and have given me an email address to post for anyone who would like to be invited to read their blog. I will list them here with their email adresses as well as in the sidebar under their names.
Shantelle Barber Martinez --- email spidershanny@gmail.com
David Thorpe --- email address not available*** leave a comment on their new "fake" blog if you woul llke to be invited to view their real blog.
I'm sure that this "private" list will be everchanging and I just wanted to direct you to a previous entry from our blog HERE with an idea I had for private bloggers, especially if you would rather not have your email address posted publicly.
Well, I had one more item of business to tend to, but I hear screaming children in the distance and I think I may have to break it up... later.

Happy Holidays!
(picture taken from Adam Green's blog)I had a little down time today to check out your blogs. It was nice to see all the Christmas wishes and holiday cheer! I have to say I was fascinated by the photo documentation of the ice storm on
Adam Green's blog - you should all check it out!

An old friend...
Got a message in my inbox over the weekend and thought I'd post it for you all!
"Okay, so I'm kind of a cheater. I didn't graduate from SFHS, but I would have if we hadn't moved away when I was in 8th grade. I grew up with most people I saw posted on the blog though, so I was wondering if you could help me out? There are so many people that I would love to catch up with if they're interested? My name was Katie Elmborg back then, it's Katie Belcher now. My email is kelmborg@hotmail.com, and I have a Facebook profile under my married name. I didn't know if there was any way you could post this info on your site, or get it to people? I would appreciate any help getting in touch with my old friends. Thank you so much! Katie Belcher (Elmborg)"
Here is a link to Katie's FACEBOOK!

Still here...
I've had a few phone calls from worried friends this past week... ALL because I haven't been posting on this blog! They were sure that something must be wrong because I'm just so darn persistant/consistant (couldn't decide which one worked better) in my blogging duties. So I thought I had better get back in the swing of things before I get any more frantic phone calls.
Unfortunately, there isn't much of anything interesting to blog about right now. At least as far as the Class of '94 is concerned. I suppose I could comment on the economy or the latest politics, but I try to stick to content related to SFHS 1994. It did cross my mind that back in '93 or '94 they came up with that new "Recession" dance and I was wondering was that because we were experiencing a recession back then (like now)? I can't help but wish that I was as unconcerned by the current economic situation as I was back then... oh those carefree teenage years. But, good heavens what am I saying... it's Christmas! I should definately stick to happier thoughts! So I guess I'll just close by saying that I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
p.s. If you are feeling like you are in a particularly giving mood... you might want to find some email addresses or blogs of fellow classmates (refer to THE LIST) and send them to us at sfhs1994@gmail.com (it's a fairly cheap way to get in on the Christmas spirit of things) -Thanks!

It's for real this time...
A new blog to add today! I've been bugging her forever to get this done... at last! Welcome Valorie Braithwaite Walters and her cute fam to the world of blogging!
(Guess what... my annoying emails to siblings are working - we've added several new emails to the list this week. The only thing is I don't always know everyone's siblings names so if you do, would you leave me a comment or send me an email with them. I'll do all the hard work (emailing is SO hard) of writing and bugging them.)

It feels like forever...
... since I've found a new blog to add on here, doesn't it? Well, I found one today! And then I listed it, but they didn't want me to so now it's not here... sorry. The good news is I got their email address out of it (I'm so lame).
In other news, I've resorted to some new and interesting tactics in my search for emails... mostly I have exhibited a lack of embarrassment (in other words I have no shame). For example, when I went to vote I ran into Steven and Peter Bernards mom (she was running the voting tables) and instead of hurrying through the line because there were a million anxious people behind me - I took my sweet time writing down this website address and asking (begging) her to give it to her boys. I'm still waiting on results... I saw a guy we went to high school with in line at Macey's and I would have run right over and begged his email address off of him IF ONLY my husband hadn't stopped me (he's always in a hurry to get out of Maceys plus I think he was embarrassed of his crazy wife). What can I say... I'm driven. And just today I sent out emails to several classmates siblings in hopes of getting a couple of responses- I am so annoying... but it just might work!
At any rate, I figure it's better than calling people's parents on the phone and trying to track them down... I have to draw the line somewhere!
So here's fair warning - please either have your email address written on a piece of paper in your wallet ready to give to me or be prepared to run the other way if you see me glance your way... it is Christmas shopping season, I figure the odds are pretty good that if you live around here I might run into you.

I didn't forget...
I haven't forgotten about this site, but it sure has been a while since I've updated! It looks like things are slowing down a bit. For a while there we were averaging one or two new emails a day, it turns out Facebook was a big help! It's still a little confusing to me and I have no plans to try out MySpace - so if you have an account there would you do me a favor and post something about the blog? Thanks (in advance)! It's time to start gearing up for the Holidays now. I've been thinking about posting up some old dance pics from Harvest, if you've got any handy email them to sfhs1994@gmail.com and I'll make you famous!

Welcome to the Spanish Fork High School Class of 1994 Blog
I ran across the website/resume of a fellow classmate this week... Leona Christensen! It looks like she is enjoying a successful career as a writer and has interviewed some pretty famous people - fun! I can't add her website in the sidebar because it isn't technically a blog and blogger doesn't seem to recognize it when I try, so I decided to stick it down in the "business section" (writing is her business, right?) for future reference. Welcome to the blog Leona!
