Davis High Class of '98 Now!





Christine (Broadbent) Holt
Oh my goodness, how fast the time has gone. It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since we were in High School. So much has happened since then. Well let me fill you all in on my story of what has happened in the last 10 years.

After graduation I received a scholarship to attend CEU in Price. I graduated in May 2000 with my Associates of Science and transferred up to Utah State to continue my education in Family & Consumer Science Education. While attending Utah State I met my sweetheart, Adam Holt in 2001. Since both of were very focused on our majors we became good friends. In the summer of 2002 we started dating and got engaged on December 5, 2002. On May 3, 2003 we both graduated from Utah State; Adam with a Bachelors’ in Human Resources, and I graduated with a Bachelors’ in Family & Consumer Science Education Degree. Then about ten days later on May 14, 2003 we were married in the Logan Temple. We then had a beautiful reception in my parents’ backyard in Fruit Heights.

Adam and I then moved to South Weber for a year, while he worked at Rent-A-Center as an assistant manager in Ogden. I finished of my degree by doing my student teaching at Northridge High in Layton. I was not allowed to do my student teaching at Davis High since the same teachers were still there that taught all of us. In April of 2004 I got my first teaching job at Lehi High School. Adam had just been transferred to Salt Lake with his job so it was good for both us. We purchased our first home in July of 2004 in Lehi and have lived here ever since. Four months after moving here, Adam was able to get a job with IHC in billing that had a lot better hours. Then in 2007 Adam was able to get a wonderful job with the LDS Church. He works in billing at the Church Office Building in downtown SLC and loves it. He said that he will stay there for the rest of his career.

On July 12, 2006, Adam and I were blessed with our first child, Kaylee Ann Holt. She was also the first grandchild for my family and the first girl for Adam’s. Kaylee is such a joy and we feel as though we have been very blessed with a very special little spirit. She is turning two this Saturday and we are amazed at all that she is learning each day.
Since August of 2004 I have taught school at Lehi High School. I love it a lot and teach the following subjects: Child Development, Child Care, Beginning Interior Design, Advanced Interior Design, Clothing 1 & 2, and Sports Sewing. I am also the club advisor of FCCLA which was FHA when we were in High School. I love it and love being able to get to know my students in different ways then I do in the classroom. I teach about 250 students a year and they are such a joy! This year at graduation it was weird to look at the students and think that 10 years ago that was us and these students were only 8 at the time. It is crazy how fast life really is. Here is a picture of me with the other FACS Teachers at Lehi High at Graduation in May 2008.

In May of 2007 I started my own business with Mary Kay Cosmetics and love it. I am working on earning my first FREE Car right now and plan on being a director by December 2008. I love it and love the fact that it will give me the chance to stay home with my children. Like I said before I love teaching but I also love my children more. I plan on teaching one more year at the High School and then be able to stay home. Check out my website for more information. It is marykay.com/cholt109

I am sorry that I won’t be able to attend the reunion as I will be in Florida at the time on a school FCCLA trip. Here is a picture of me with the students I get to attend Florida with.
