Questions

Favorite High School Memory I have so many wonderful memories from high school. One that stands out was Senior PowderPuff game! It was so muddy out!! I will never forget how everyone looked after that game!!!

Favorite High School Class Coach Simmons COE class. I don’t think I laughed so much in one class while in high school.

Favorite High School Activity: I loved going to all the school dances and everything that went along with them, from who’s going to ask who, getting asked, picking out the dress, getting ready for the big night and of course the after parties. I still love looking back pictures from those dances and remembering how each dance was a difference experience.

In 2002, I spent my weekends: Hanging out with all of my friends. Driving around from place to place trying to find something to do.

In 2011, I spend my weekends: Spending time with my husband and daughter. We love doing anything outside. Right now we spend a lot of time working on our house that we just moved into. During the summer we are always on the lake, skiing, wakeboarding and tubing. We love taking Kylee and our 2 boxers for walks in the park, running and Kylee's favorite-swinging.

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

I feel extremely privileged to have gone to LHS. Some of my most wonderful memories are from high school. My closest friends are still the people I graduated with and I feel so lucky to have maintained those friendships for the last ten years!

What I'm up to now

In 2007 I graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in Marketing Management. Since graduating college things have been busy and exciting. In 2008 I moved to Palm Springs California to be with my boyfriend Mike DeSanto and on May 3, 2009 we were married. That same year we moved to Roseburg, Oregon. On January 2, 2010 we welcomed our first child Kylee Lynn. This past March we moved to Arkansas to get closer to our family and friends. I am currently a stay at home mom and loving every minute of it!!!
