Rachel (Rudd) Labrum

After high school I joined the U of U swim team. While swimming there I also was studying elementary education. In April '02 I was set up on a blind date with Trent Labrum which turned into so much more. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple by December and have been having the time of our lives ever since. Three very short months later we found out that we were expecting our 1st little boy Trenton, he was born two weeks before our first anniversary. Then as our luck would have it we were surprised again to find out that baby #2 was on her way. McKelle was born January '05. I was still able to complete my degree in education in May '05 with the help of our wonderful parents who watched my two little ones while I was doing my student teaching. We had a home in Sandy where I spent the next year being a full time mom, the most rewarding job of all.

In November '06 we moved to Kingman Arizona for my husbands job with American Woodmark. We were blessed with our 3rd child a beautiful little lady Dalilah in September '07 and in October '09 we again welcomed another little lady Savannah. Our 5th and final little one, a boy, is expected to debut this December. I love being a stay at home mom. I enjoy watching them blossom and explore there own personalities. I keep very busy with school, sports, and church activities. Often feeling like I live in my car. We figure we will be here in Kingman for another few years and after that we look forward to our next big adventure.

I was hoping the reunion would have been in July because that is the month we come home for visits and family reunions. So I am sad to say I couldn't attend but hope I make it to the next one. Hope everyone had a blast.

After graduation I attended the University of Utah and graduated in 2005 with a BS in Finance. During college I was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and involved in student government both of which I loved. I worked for the Utah Jazz in sales and marketing throughout college and met my husband Al there in 2004. He served a LDS mission from 2005-2007 and we wrote as friends every week for those 2 years. I worked in the mortgage/real estate world for about 3 years and in September of 2008 Al and I got married in Salt Lake and moved to Las Vegas where he took a job selling medical equipment. We lived there for 1 year and then he took a job selling medical devices in Los Angeles where we have lived the last 2 years. This March we had our first son Albert Alexander Cameron VI (he goes by Alex) which has been the most amazing experience. Shortly after, I quit my job as an Accountant and I am now a stay at home mom, which I love. We are always on the go and haven’t let Alex slow us down. We love to travel and enjoy all the entertainment LA has to offer. Al is into marathons and triathlons and will be completing his first Ironman next year. I’m hoping to complete my first half marathon and sprint triathlon this year, but we will see how that goes. I wish we could have been at the reunion, but hopefully we can make it to our 20 year. Best wishes to everyone!!

After I graduated high school I moved to Cedar City and attended SUU for awhile. I decided to move on to Dixie State College in St. George then eventually moved to Washington state. After a few months in beautiful Washington I moved back in Salt Lake to complete my associates degree at SLCC. After working my way up the corporate ladder for six years while attending school, I took an inspiring trip to Russia which prompted me to drop everything and study abroad. Shortly after quitting my job I moved to Sweden for six months to study at Jönköping International Business School. While I was over there I took advantage of many of the student trips including visiting the northern tip of Sweden (the Arctic Circle) and had the pleasure of seeing the Northern Lights and the Ice Hotel. I also had an amazing time in beautiful Norway with other international students where we kayaked in icy lakes and hiked one of their famous glaciers. I also had the pleasure of traveling to nine other different countries in 30 days which was one of my most amazing times of my live. My favorite place to visit was Amsterdam and a small vacation spot in Denmark. I had a difficult time accepting reality and come back to the US to finish school and go back to work. When I arrived back in the US I decided to finish my degree at Utah State University and moved Logan. I just recently graduated with my Bachelors degree in Business Management which is an accomplishment that I’m very proud of. I’ll be off to China on a humanitarian tour the end of September as a graduation present to myself. I love to travel, experience different cultures and learn new things. I am currently work at a bank in Logan and am looking to start my career east of Utah. I love living life and visiting family and friends. I’ve enjoyed reading everyones bio’s and I wish everyone the best.

Olivia and Ana Blackham

Well life after Cottonwood: The Adventure begins; I really can’t believe it’s been 10 years too crazy! Well for me Olivia I have loved life more than ever. After graduation, I jumped into summer semester at SLCC, and graduated with an associated of arts in fashion merchandizing, but while doing that I also decide to go to cosmetology school, and between those times I had some fun events come my way. I got to dance in the opening and closing ceremonies in the 2002 Winter Olympics games. As well in 2006 I tried out to be on a show that’s extremely popular called “So you think you can dance” well I made it all way to Vegas there was about 2000 people that tried out from salt lake and they only took the top 100 but showed the top 25 on TV; It was amazing experience for me. Soon after I got to be a dance teacher for West Valley Dance Center I taught there for 3 years, one of the dance teachers introduces me to a wonderful guy, who actually played football at the University of Utah, we were together for 7½ years, and closed the doors to the relationship in 2007. But these pass years I have became a lover in humanitarian projects, I started a non-profit organization called “Because He First Loved Us.” We focus on helping African refugee’s children ages k-12 helping them get through school these kids have become my passion for life. Many of my friends that do alot of humanitarian projects have a career path in the medical field and I have such a great passion to help other especially in third world countries, so with much deliberating and wanting to do a career move. I went back to school and got my MA I just graduated in May 2011. I now work at the University of Utah hospital and hope to be a traveling nurse one day. I only work a few days a week at the hospital and on the other days I work as a fashion stylist and hair make-up artist for Aveda and have my kids on the off days. But during my time at school I got very involved with college life, I became involved with LDSSA sorority at the University of Utah, and my social life was way exciting, I loved it. But now I feel like I need to focus more on my career for now, and my many talents and passions that I have but loving life while doing it.

Lindsey (Rosenlof) Christiansen

I read everyone’s bios and the great things they’ve been doing, and I can’t help but reflect on not only the good things I’ve done in the past ten years, but the also very stupid things I’ve done as well. I would like to share a little bit of both. After graduation, I moved to SUU in Cedar City with, Carrie Prisbrey. Probably some of the most fun I’ve ever had, and not much schooling. After dating many questionable characters, including a guy who painted his fingernails black and a polygamist, I somehow stumbled upon my amazing husband, Jesse, who was a small town boy from Blanding, Utah and fresh off his mission. It takes a pretty amazing guy to really get to know me and still luff me! Not long after we began dating, and while I was 19, Jesse asked Big Bad Bruce (my dad) if he could marry me, to which my kind and loving father replied, “She’s got a lot of growing up to do, but if you think that’s what to do then sure.” After being married six itty bitty months, I discovered I was pregnant with our little girl, Bentley Ray. She is very private, has a dark little sense of humor, and is amazingly smart. She keeps us on our toes, we can’t keep anything from her. After having her, Jess and I moved to Sandy, where we have been ever since. He started a mortgage company that did really well until it didn’t. While we had fun with it while it lasted, we did our small part contributing the mortgage crises while we purchased homes and flipped them (My husband won’t let me put that unless I specify that we did nothing illegal and he is a professional who I can’t be writing stuff like this on the internet about…). In 2008, we had out little boy, Bauer who was born at a whopping 10 pounds and has been big in personality ever since. He is always happy, always laughing and always kind. He is one of the funniest little guys I know. I am a stay at home mom while Jesse has since started his own alarm company has me so proud of with him and his success with that. On top of staying at home, I spend my free time doing anything creative. I love photography, I spend a lot of time decorating and redecorating my home-I’ve gotten into the furniture trend, I garage sale every Saturday, I paint, and find that I am just a typical dorky mom, you can see some of the stuff I’m up to at www.cheekyandtrig.blogspot.com I started taking voice lessons, because it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. On top of the things mentioned, my most focused endeavor is working on writing my first novel which is something I really love. Hopefully you’ll see me published soon! We are fortunate to have a great neighborhood, great families that we still see every Sunday afternoon, a roof over our heads and healthy kids. I seem to be the only one who feels high school was definitely ten years ago but I am very grateful to have filled those ten years with not only lessons learned, but a beautiful family, great friends and only better things to come!

Hey Y’all ;) After graduation, I went and continue to go (part time) to the University of Utah. I have changed my major multiple times and for now I am planning on majoring in Information Systems. I served a full-time mission in South Carolina (Best Mission EVER), during which I ran into two fellow colts. I have worked a variety of jobs, but for the past four years I have worked full-time for a public charity, Pachyonychia Congenita Project (see www.pachyonychia.org it is awesome). I get to do a little bit of everything. I also get to travel to a variety of meetings and have met and work with some of the top scientists and physicians in the world. Of all the places I have gone for work, Scotland is my favorite. Recently, I became a Great Aunt and an Aunt for the 37^th time. The past ten years have been a blast and I cannot wait to catch up with yall. I have to work late on Friday, but hope to make it to part of the reunion.
