What's Up: Well, since I graduated high school, I moved back to Michigan to help take care of my little brother. I've pretty much been living life happily. I have been married and divorced before the age of 24, and I have a daughter named Alexus Kaylynn. Now, I am attending Baker College of Flint, Michigan, attempting to get my degree in Architectural Design and a degree in Computer Science while I work full-time.

What's Up: Well since High School I have been busy.  I had my daughter in November 97 and now she is keeping me busier than ever.  I was a single mother until I recently married and now have gained a wild and rambunctious 1 1/2 year old son.  I am currently working for myself as a contractor with the Hearings and Appeals office at Social Security.  I am in school at City University finishing up my BS in psychology.  I will then get my masters in Counseling and then my PhD in Clinical, Child, and Forensic Psychology.  I am busy between working, school, family, and my daughters horse back riding lessons.  Many things have happened over the last few years and I am looking forward to seeing you all at the reunion.  Feel free to drop me a line.  Take care all.

What's up: After graduating from TJ, I attended Central Washington University. I graduated in March 2002 with a degree in Social Science Education and a minor in German. After my student teaching, subsequent stints as a substitute teacher (sometimes at TJ), and experience as an English teacher in China for six months, I've decided that I don't want to teach anymore.

Inspired by my exchange year in Linz, Austria during my 3rd year at uni and my experience working at CWU's study abroad office, I've decided that I would like to work as a Study Abroad Advisor somewhere. In order to help facilitate that, I'm now back in school for my MA. I'm in a program in European Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. I'll probably be here until Fall 2005.

What's Up?:Hey what up?  It me April Kick.  For those who don't know me, I usually hang around with Rachel Blaisdell, Emily Hoffman, Todd Trask and Boxey Reirson.  What I am doing these day is running a home daycare.  I own Sandollar Childcare in Washington.   I am engaged and have a baby boy. I have two cats Lefty and Midnight. Midnight was given to me by Rachel, she used to be her cat.  Midnight was causing problems and alway getting in fight with Alice the other cat that belong to Rachel.  So Rachel gave Midnight to me and she doing very well now.  Now these day I do go to Rachel's house and spend few days with her.  We went to the Point Defiance Zoo, Lion King at Imax theatre in Science center, Pacific Science Center, see Keiko from Free Willy at Oregon  right after we graduated with her parents.    I am really not doing much these day except play on a bowling team on Wednesday and runing the daycare.

What's up?: I graduate in December 2001 with a degree in community services and minors in education and psychology. In my junior year I became a single mother to a beautiful 8 pounds, 7.5 ounces baby boy. He’s the very special to me and he is now a rambunctious little one and a half year old. My mother passed away from cervical cancer on May 6, 2000 (the same day I found out I was pregnant!). My mother had been battling cancer since my senior year in high school. I’ve been helping my dad recover from a triple bypass from last April. I was working as a counselor for a therapeutic foster care agency in Yelm, but wound up losing my job (any leads, anyone?!) so I am currently unemployed :p However, I am working hard to get a job not only to provide for my son, but to also avoid the stigmatism of single mothers being “welfare moms” with a negative connotation to it. Wish me luck. I would love to hear from some of my old classmates so if you’re out there, I’d appreciate it if you’d drop me a line. Take care and may God bless.
