Davis High Class of '98 Now!

Ben & Lynsey (Steadman) Strader
Some people may look at us as an unlikely pair to end up together. Ten years ago, sitting by each other in choir class in Davis, we would have agreed with them. I like to tell people that I met Ben in high school while volunteering for 'Best Buddies' and was 'assigned' to him. He may not like that version of how we got together but that doesn't stop me from telling it anyway.
The truth is, after high school, Ben served a mission in Washington D.C. South while I went to USU & spent my summers in Jackson Hole. After Ben's mission he went to & graduated from BYU-Idaho. One day I got a random email from him asking me if he could come & hang out with me in Jackson Hole for a day. A year and a half later, we were married. It's now been 5 years since that fateful day (just kidding) and we are still in love & have the best time together. We have a cute little 2 1/2 year old boy, Caleb. We love him to death & apologize to him everyday for the genetics we have passed down to him.
We are now living in beautiful North Carolina, working together as live-in managers for a group home with troubled teens. We currently have 4 teenagers here with us who keep us on our toes. It is an absolute roller coaster ride but we are learning a lot & clinging to our sense of humor like it's going out of style. Ben is starting his doctorate program in Psychology this fall. We write about our experiences out here on our blog so here's the link in case you're interested.

We're hoping we can come to the reunion so we can see everybody!
