Davis High Class of '98 Now!


Minnette (Peterson) Marston
After Davis High, I went to Rick's College (BYU Idaho). Where I met and
married my wonderful husband Nick Marston and received my Associates
Degree in Arts and Science- just a few days before having my first son.
(I was quite a sight waddling nine months pregnant in my graduation robes
to receive my diploma. But I made it!) After that Nick finished up his
degree and we moved to Logan where he received his Bachelors from USU in
Landscape Construction. We are now settled in West Kaysville where Nick
works for Greene's Inc., managing their landscape construction division,
and I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom where I get to raise my
two adorable boys; Taden (6) and Teancum (2) and am expecting our first
girl the first week of April! Our favorite pastime is laughing with our
hilarious boys and enjoying the crazy moments that life has to offer.

Davis High Class of '98 Now!


Allie (Vettori) Edwards
So much has happened since High School, I went to Weber State's Nursing program for my RN and graduated in 2001. Shortly after I served in the Hawaii Honolulu Mission from 2001-2003 (the greatest mission ever, as I'm sure most of you would agree). After getting home I attended the University of Utah to get my Bachelor's in Nursing. I haved loved Nursing because it fits so well with my personality (not because I'm nice, but because I like the variety). I've been also able to do lso many different things with nursing. I went to Guatemala to do health teaching to the Kekchi Indians, I've gone with Operation Smile to China, I worked with Utah's Medical Examiner, I worked in a Correctional Facility for troubled teens and now I work in the Emergency Dept at IMC (It's IHC's new monstrosity of a hospital). I've been in the ER for almost 4 years now and I love it (most of the time).

I married Reed Cameron Edwards, Taylorsville alumni (not all of us can marry within Davis), in Dec of 2004. Reed and I were set up by Scott Jones, also a Davis High alum. Reed and Scott served their mission together in Mexico City. Since then we've loved to travel all over. We've been to Italy, Switzerland, France, England, Mexico, Brazil, and Hawaii (several times). Reed works at Goldman Sachs doing account openings with private wealth management, supporting the New York offices. We've lived in Sandy, UT for the last 3 years. We just had our first child in Oct 2007, Jensen Reed Edwards. I know every parent says this, but he is the cutest thing ever. Being a mom is totally uncharted territory for me, but I'm loving every minute of it. He looks just like his dad, but he definitely got his stubborness from mom. I still work once or twice a week at the hospital, but I love staying home with my boy.

Davis High Class of '98 Now!


Marge (Caputo) Wheeler
It seems incomprehensible to me that ten years of my life have passed, especially ten year since I was in high school. Where did ALL that time go? After graduating from DHS I went to college for two years at Westminster in Salt Lake City. I married my high school sweet heart, Chris Wheeler (DHS Alum '96), and we lived in Ogden for a little over a year. At which time we moved with his job (AOL) to Northern Virginia. We had a great time making new friends and going to visit many historic sites. If you haven't already done so make a trip back east with your family and discover the history of America. We returned to Davis County, Woods Cross, about 4 years ago and we love being close to our friends and family. Our little family loves to camp (we have a trailer so I don't really count it as camping) and go on long four wheeler rides. I keep busy working part time at State Farm Insurance, taking care of our 16 month old daughter Elizabeth, playing on recreational volleyball and basketball teams and watching movies with my husband. I love to learn to do new things, while on bed rest during pregnancy I taught myself how to crochet (ladies if Marge Caputo can do it, then so can you!). I'm excited to get to see everyone that is able to make it to the reunion and want to give a BIG shout out to the senior officers and committee for doing such a great job of getting the word out to as many people as possible in advance. GO DARTS!

Davis High Class of '98 Now!




Hello! This is Meghan (Leeman) Frost. I thought I'd fill you all in on what happened to ME! I went to BYU and studied Audiology and Speech Pathology. I also minored in Spanish. I was able to study abroad and live in Spain for a semester. I loved it. I graduated with my bachelor's from BYU in 2002 and shortly after met my hubby, Steve. I worked as a Speech Pathologist for Alpine School District while he finished up his Master's degree at BYU in structural engineering. I completed my Master's in Speech Pathology while I worked for the school district. Speaking Spanish has really helped me in my job.

In summer of 2006, after Steve graduated, we bought a home and moved to West Jordan, UT. Steve took a job with an engineering firm in Sandy, UT. I work one morning a week for Jordan School District as a speech therapist. In the summers, I teach swimming lessons. As you can tell, I love working with little kids! We have a 2 year old, Lauren, who is into EVERYTHING and we just had another little girl, Molly, about 2 months ago. I love being home with my girls. Ironically, my husband Steve was in the same mission as Doug Timothy and they are great friends. I am excited to see everyone this summer!

Brett Garner
Immediately after high school Brett sent his mission papers into Morris Murdoch Travel Agency and got his call to Jamaica. He served from September 1998-September 2000 in both Jamaica and Grand Cayman. He worked hard for the next few years after his mission working full time for Verizon Wireless while also going to school full time at Weber State University. He graduated with his BS (how appropriate) in Technical Sales in December of 2004. I grew up in Sandy (Alta High class of 98... Brett loves to remind me that you guys beat us in the state soccer finals that year...go Hawks!) and we are one of the rare blind date success stories. We were married on May 11, 2004 at the ancient age of 24! Since we were so 'old' when we got married we didn't waste any time starting our family and our little boy Hunter was born 6 days after our first anniversary (for those calendar counters... we were pregnant 3 months AFTER we were married :) ) Our daughter Samantha was born 20 months later on January 11, 2007. Hunter is his daddy's shadow and the two buddies are never happier than when they are on the golf course together! Samantha definitely has her daddy wrapped around her little finger and is our little clown! Business wise Brett is a partner/ Director of Sales for a freight auditing firm downtown, while at the same time sneaking in some golf in the hopes to become the next Tiger Woods. We bought a house in Clearfield right before Hunter was born and have been here ever since. We are looking forward to the reunion and getting to meet/catch up with everyone!

Circe (Collier) McClure
After my three lovely years at Davis High I attended Southern Utah University in Cedar City. In July of 2000 I married Nate McClure who is also a Davis High graduate (1993). We have stayed pretty close to home and have lived in Kaysville and Layton and now in Syracuse where we have been for almost two years and LOVE it. We have two little girls: Kaia is 6 and is loving everything about Kindergarten. Laken is 3 and loves to tell jokes and go to her dance class. Nate owns a company called Service Master that does water damage restoration which keeps him very busy and I am lucky enough to get to stay home with my girls.

Chad & Desiree (Garner) Hansen
After high school I served a mission in Merida, Mexico. Oddly enough there were 7 or 8 other Elders from Davis in my same mission. I returned home and politely asked Des to dump her current boyfriend so that I could start dating her again. We were married 5 months later. We both graduated from Weber State in Technical Sales and I have been in sales ever since. We love to spend time outdoors boating, hunting, fishing, camping, playing soccer, golf and whatever else as a family. We have two handsome boys, Porter (4) and Trace (2 in June) and recently found out that #3 should be here in October. We currently live in Syracuse and love being close to both of our families and friends. Life is good and we have much to be grateful for.

Kara (Cullimore) Yeates
After graduating from dear old DHS I attended Weber State University. I met my husband, Mike Yeates, while we were both driving home one day from Weber State...(it's a long, divine intervention story!!!)...We dated for a year and were married in August of 2000. Mike worked on his Masters while he waited to hear from Medical Schools. I worked as an Admin Assistant for the Real Estate Group at Wells Fargo in Salt Lake City. We had our first little girl, Bailee Rebecca in November 2003. She is 4 now and enjoys dressing up as a princess, dance lessons, and singing.

In July of 2004 we moved to the exciting city of Las Vegas. Mike has been attending medical school at Touro University and will graduate in May of this year. We find out where he goes for residency in about 10 days. We are hoping for Utah, but will go wherever we are supposed to be! I still am getting used to hearing people call him 'Dr. Yeates'.

We had our second little girl, Samantha Kara in September 2006. She is a typical 18-month old with all sorts of energy and funny things to say! I work in Vegas as a mystery shopper. It is exciting, interesting, stressful and fun all at the same time! Mike likes it because it has made me get sick of shopping very EASY!

Our little girls are the loves of our lives. They bring so much joy and happiness to our home. We are so lucky to have two beautiful girls. Mike is very patient and loves all three of his girls!

Scott & Niki (Hill) Martineau
After graduation Scott served a mission to Rosario, Argentina and I moved to Logan to attend Utah State. While at USU I was hired at Delta Airlines as a flight attendant and moved to New York City. I traveled all over the US and Europe, it was a great experience. Scott returned home in late December 2000 and began school at Weber State. We ran into each other in February and began dating. We got engaged in May and planned to marry in December so that I had time to get a transfer from NY to Salt Lake. I was transferred just before September 11th 2001 and then was laid off on December 1st, which worked out great since we were getting married in 2 weeks. I ended up working as a secretary, and Scott finished school getting a degree in construction management. Now 6 1/2 years later we have two boys, Tate is 4 and Max is 1. Scott enjoys his job building custom homes and I love being a stay at home mom. We live in Kaysville and love traveling, skiing, boating and doing lots of things with our boys.

Mindy (Hibler) Harris
After graduating from Davis, I started dating Steve Harris (Davis High Class of 95, and yes, Anna Harris' brother.) I somewhat attended 1 semester at UVSC. Steve and I were married the February after we graduated. We recently had our 9 year anniversary. Schooling ended there for me. I worked for 2 different doctors offices as a receptionist and a couple years at Gap. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last 7 years. We lived in our first home in West Layton for 5 years and have been in our home in Syracuse for the last 4. We are so in love with our 3 children; Caden is 7, Halle is 5 and Carson is 2. We stay busy camping, traveling, boating, fishing and just being together. Life is pretty darn good!!!

Amy Halbern
Hello all. wow! it has been 10 years this june.. how crazy is that!! I think that it is so awesome that the class officers have been so great to create this for all of us.. Any way well this is what is going on with me. well I am a teacher of 4-5 yr olds I teach at weber state university at the Melba s. Lehner children's school. I also teach for head start in ogden... Along with that I work for an after school program. Last summer I had the oppurtunity to run a tennis club for kindergarten to 6th grade. It was awesome!! These jobs definitely keep me busy... Back in 2002 I had the oppurtunity to spend a month in France studying the language culture and the wonderful History of France. Because of spending time there I decided to minor in French at WSU. Besides all of that I am currently living in Farmington and I am in the RS Presidency of my YSA ward. I love it there are so many awesome people that I have met in that ward... Some of the hobbies that I have aquaried are photography, hiking, camping, snowshoeing, mopeding that is a funny story in itself, and of course traveling... Over all I am enjoying life hanging with friends and spending time with my fam.. other than that I can't think of anything else... But this finally quote and oh yah I am writing a quote book... in words of President Hinckley... " you're not a failure unless you quit trying."
PSSS... a few tid bits I forgot to mention. I was involved with the LDS sorority Lambda Delta Sigma from 98-2004.. It was a great oppurtunity....

Jennifer (Dabb) van Bree
I got married one year after graduation, to a 1997 davis high alumni, Dustin van Bree. He is in the United States Navy, as a Corpsman, OR Medic!!! is what the marines hollar when they are injured... My AMAZING husband has been to Iraq twice, and seeing as I am not sure if he will be there again or not for the reunion I will be coming alone. We have 2 Beautiful Kids.. Gabriel is 5 and Liberty is 1, and our third will be here in October. we have it down to Grace Noelle, or William Christopher, depending on what ultrasound results say... *wink* I may not look the same as I did in high school.. I was slightly heavy then, and unfortunatly it just got worse as I got older.. so in Jan. of 2005, I had Gastric bypass surgery, and went from 302 on Jan. 25th 2005 to a nice and comfortable 150. I am very proud of myself, and sooo amazingly happy that I did it.. I wont look all skinny cause I will be in the last half of my pregnancy by the reunion, but even still a difference is by far noticable.. *wink again* Since marrying and dustin going into the military, I have lived in Chicago, Florida, California, and Currently Virginia, We will be back in California come june. with a very happy and exciting detour to utah thru the month of may, and me and the kids back in july for the reunion! We hope to be living in utah again for a few years come next year as the Military is hurting for doctors, and has offered to pay for my husbands medical school, at his school of choice, and he has chosen univerity of utah. It will be nice to live close to family and friends again for a while. I feel that my biggest accomplishment so far has been, being a supportive military wife, My husband makes me so proud of all he does. I look forward to so many more adventures ahead of us in his military career. And raising my kids.. I can't wait to see everyone in july!! I look forward to it tons!! Yay.....
