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.
