Questions

Favorite High School Memory I have so many wonderful memories from high school...It's so hard to choose just one! I loved every school dance. Getting dressed up and spending the evening with my friends was always so much fun. Our trip to Florida our Senior year is also one of my most treasured memories.

Favorite High School Class Definitely Spanish II, my Freshman year. Miss Davis assigned Josh (my husband) a seat next to me, and that is where it all began for us. We are now married for almost 4 years, together for 12. He's the love of my life, and I have Miss Davis to thank for that! :)

Favorite High School Activity: Cheerleading, no doubt. Not only did I love the Friday night football and basketball games, assembly performances and competitions, but that is where I met some of my closest friends during high school. Although I was horrible at staying in touch after graduation, I truly cherish those friendships and all the time we spent together.

In 2002, I spent my weekends: Usually I was with Josh and my friends, when he was in town from school. Other times, I would be visiting him at Mizzou and hanging out with his friends.

In 2011, I spend my weekends: Still hanging out with Josh! We like to go to the movies, take our three dogs to the dog park, go to driveway fire pit parties with the neighbors, or visit with our close friends.

Any other thoughts to add about LHS or the Class of 2002?

I feel very blessed to have had the high school experience I did, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our 10 year reunion. I can't believe it's only a year away...time has flown by!

What I'm up to now

I married Josh, my high school sweetheart, on July 7, 2007. We built our first house in Lake St. Louis in 2009, and are still getting settled in! We have three dogs, Koda, Roxy and Eddie that keep us entertained daily. I graduated from St. Louis University School of Law and passed the Missouri Bar in 2009. Currently I work as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Lincoln County, Missouri. I love my job, and there is never a boring day in the office! The most exciting thing going on in my life right now is that Josh and I are expecting our first child! He or she is due on December 5, 2011. We are more than thrilled!!
