So much has happened...let me try to give you the short of it. After high school I went to ISU and didnt really learn much other than how to live on very little money. That didnt work out so well so I dabbled in different jobs. That didnt hold my interest too well either so....I moved to Billings, Montana and then decided to join the Army. I went to Fort Leonardwood, MO in 2002 for 8 weeks of hell and then to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland for 10 more weeks of training to be a diesel mechanic (imagine that..yep) After all that training I finally got assigned to my unit, the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment in Fort Carson, CO. This is where I thought I fell in "love" and had a shotgun wedding before I deployed to Iraq. I was in Iraq for 367 long, hot, miserable days. Came back to the states and the husband was gone, apartment cleared out...... (long story) so anyway...got divorced...and carried on with my life in the military. Went to some pretty cool places, met cool people, a few years go by and then silly me...I fell in "love" again. Then got orders to deploy AGAIN...so back to Iraq I go. I am there for 60 days and I think I am dying....I am sick as hell and think I have cancer so I go to the medics and find out its not cancer.....its a baby!! So I take a 30 hour flight home and spend the next 7 months assigned to the rear detachment in Colorado. My son was born in November 2005. His dad is in Iraq....so I'm going it solo with an infant. So the dad comes home from Iraq, decides he's not really the father type...finds himself a girlfriend on the side (you know the rest, divorce #2, man I am on a roll huh). So...I finish my enlistment after 4 years of fun filled Army life and moved back to Idaho, I worked construction for awhile, worked for a vet, and now I work at the Fremont County court house and for Fremont Counties finest police department! I am engaged to the right one this time (Levi) & we will be getting married in September. My son is the coolest kid EVER, I didnt know one little person could make me so happy! Its good to be back home and it will be great to see everyone this summer! melissa_reum@yahoo.com

I guess I have been in denial that it has already been 10 years since we graduated and all sang, “Hold out your Candle” while playing with glow sticks underneath our robes. After high school, I continued to work at Fall River Electric for a few more years working as a warehouseman/groundsman during the summer months. I attended Idaho State University for a few years studying business. I then decided to go on a mission. I went to Raleigh, NC and had the time of my life meeting and getting acquainted with North Carolinians. They are the nicest people ever! After my mission, I continued to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Idaho State University. I swore up and down that I wasn’t going to get married until I was at least 28. Well, after only being home from my mission in July, I was married in May of the same year I came home from my mission at the young buck’s age of 23. I was very charismatic at the time (and I mean Ted Bundy style) and actually got my wife to ask me to marry her. She was my neighbor at the time. I changed my mind on a degree after I worked for the Bannock Youth Foundation. I found out that I love working with kids. So I decided to go into social work. I graduated from ISU in May of 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in social work with a minor in marketing and have been working with kids in children’s mental health ever since. I have been supervising other social workers for the past few years to make sure that they do not place too much negative energy toward the kids or I have to slap them in the jaw and say, “shut your mouth”. I also like to pretend I am “Lumberg” from the movie “Office Space” and I like to ask them if they got that memo. I was recently accepted into graduate school at Boise State University and will begin my graduate studies in August and plan to finish up in May of 2009. I currently reside in the great city of Pocatello with my wife, who is a speech pathologist, and no kids. I obsess about college football, play city soccer, play in basketball tournaments, watch, “How to Catch a Predator” and keep busy all the time. Currently, my wife and I are finishing our basement. I am still up in the air if I will make it to the reunion or not. I would love to see everyone, but if I don’t make it, you can shoot me an e-mail at fottybotch@hotmail.com. Best wishes and lots of sweet love to everyone in NF’s class of 98. I have enclosed pictures of myself when I was in high school and what I look like now when I go out dancing at the Green Triangle on Sunday afternoons.

It's hard to believe that so much can happen in 10 short years. As you all know, I got married to my high school sweetheart, a month after graduation. I worked for a doctors office as an assistant for a couple of years when I heard about an opening at a veterinary clinic. I applied and got the job. Working at the vet clinic was a dream come true for me. I got to work with some of the most amazing people, and I got to work with animals every day. What more could I have asked for?
Well, while working for the vet clinic I had three beautiful kids & found out what I'd been missing. Brindi will be 7 in September, Cael just turned 5, & Ambri is 3 1/2. I never thought I would be a mom, but I am & I love it!!!! I worked at the vet clinic for 7 years, during which time I got divorced from Randy. We'd never really gotten along well & couldn't stand the fighting anymore.
But, the vet clinic is also the scene for me meeting my new husband, and the love of my life!!!! I met Jared while he was bringing in some of his horses several years ago & we'd become pretty good friends. When I got divorced, it opened up a blank page for us & we decided to start seeing each other. Jared is 13 years older than me, never had kids, & has been paralyzed from his armpits down for 12 years. He's an absolutely amazing man with a heart of gold. He loves the kids and thinks of them as his own. I couldn't have asked for better. It didn't take long before we realized that we were destined to be together and shouldn't put off the inevitable any longer.
I left the vet clinic just before Jared & I got married so that I could devote more time to the kids and the projects that we have going on. We got married in October of 2007, we live in Sugar City, just off of highway 20, with close to 60 head of Morgan Horses. If you are driving by it's kinda hard to miss us, we're the big bunch of horses between the two over passes. We are trying to get our new house finished right now, and have a couple of apartment buildings to take care of, a few houses, a commercial building, and some bare ground waiting for us to put storage units up on it. So, we are extremely busy!!!!
I can't believe how much my outlook on life has changed in the last year since Jared & I have been together. I would have never thought I'd be a stay at home mom, but I am & I love it. There is nothing more rewarding than playing in a pile of dirt with my kids, taking them swimming, or saddling the pony and teaching them to ride. My family is so important to me and I absolutely love to spend time with them, even if it's just doing nothing at all. Life is great!!!! -- Angela M. Neeley

Andrea (Dance) Campbell

Wow ten years!!! It has gone by fast. Since high school I have moved 20 times. I have lived all over the Boise area, California and parts of Texas. I currently am living in Meridian Idaho, just outside of Boise. I have lived there for 8 months which is the longest I have lived anywhere in a long time. I am a proud mom of 3 boys. Josh is 7 1/2, Zach is almost 5, and I had Andrew 7 weeks ago. After high school I attended Ricks College where I was Majoring in Floral Design / Horticulture. I was only able to finish 2 semesters before I got married. I still had a love for floral design and wanted a job in that field to further my carreer and experience. I worked for several floral shops before I decided to venture off on my own. I started up "Flowers by Andrea" in 20007 which is based out of my home. I make several floral arrangements for a Home Decor company in Boise which I also decorate for weekly. I also do weddings and funerals...pretty much anything that you would need flowers for, I can do. So you probably wonder why I moved so much...well my husband at the time joined the Air Force. His job took us to Monterey California, then to San Angelo Texas, then to San Antonio Texas. There he decided he liked one of my really good friends and got her preganant with twins. So needless to say he married her and I moved back to Ashton again. Luckily my parents had just bought and remodeled another home in Ashton which I lived in for 5 months before I moved back to Boise to continue my floral carreer. There I meet my current husband Matt Campbell. We have been married for over a year now. He also is in the Military...Army National Guard. He is a Medic with them and has decided to get his Paramedic License. He is training to be a Paramedic Firefighter right now. I will be glad wh en his training is done. So those are some of the highlights and lowlights of the last ten years for me. So I guess I will see you are the reunion and we'll catch up more.

Oh man were do I start? Well after leaving Ashton I moved to Couer d’ Alene Idaho, to fulfill my itch to play basketball at North Idaho College. It turns out basketball there wasn’t as fun as it was in high school so I turned to something I was better at politics. I served as a student senator and finally student body vice president. Then I realized paying for school wasn’t that fun anymore so I joined the US Army Reserves. Once I completed basic training. I came back to North Idaho and finished school at NIC and went on to the greatest school on earth the University of Idaho. After a fun three years at the U of I, I finally graduated. After graduation I moved back to Couer d’ Alene and was working for The Home Depot. This is were fate came into play and I meet my wife Dana, yes I did find someone that could put up with me. After getting married I packed up the family and went to the Armies officer candidate school in Ft. Benning GA. After completing OCS, I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Field Artillery. We are now at FT. Sill, Oklahoma for the artillery officer’s course after completion of the course I will be going back to FT. Benning for airborne school and then off to FT. Richardson, Alaska for my permanent duty assignment and deployment. We don’t have any kids yet but have two miniature schnauzers named Vandal and Lilly. I hope everyone has a great time at the reunion and who knows I might see you at the 20 year reunion.

Hey class of 98! I can't believe it's been ten years. I'm not going to be able to make it to the reunion, so I thought I'd share a little bit about myself.
Well where can I start? After graduating I kind of bounced around all over the state, mainly working construction. I moved in with one of my ex-girlfreinds, who I had been dating over a year in 2000, and ended up moving back east (PA) with her soon after. I started working refrigeration for her family and things were going pretty well. After about two years, things started getting a little rocky between us, I used to blame things on her but have realized now that I'm all grown, I might have had commitment issues. Anyways we ended up splitting, so I moved back to Boise in 03. I started school almost right away, went to Northwest Lineman College and graduated in 04. After graduation I ended up taking a job in Atlanta, GA, building powerlines, xciting huh! I traveled all over the south, spent 5 weeks in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina hit, restoring power. After about a year the south got pretty old, so I moved out to CA in 05, and currently live in Merced, CA (central CA). I've been out here, going on three years now, working for Pacific Gas and Electric, as a lineman. California is hot and crowded, but it's a pretty fun place to live at. What I really like about this place is how diverse it is, and I'm about two hours away from everything, beach, mountains, and the big cities. Well that's about all I have to say about myself, if anyone wants to drop me a line or a hello, you can reach me at rivasg01@yahoo.com, hope to hear from you-s. Oh yeah, the girl in the pic is my girlfreind Kanaka, been with her over a year now, she says hello-
