Bryce Clark
After graduation I was working for the Fish and Game Department. I worked for them and went to college at ISU in Idaho Falls until 2000. I started dating my wife, Shelli, July of 1998 and when she graduated in 2000 we were married that September. After we were married I quit the Fish and Game and in 2001, went to work as a plumbing apprentice. I went back to school to become a journeyman plumber. In April of 2003 we had a son, Cade. He is 4 and in preschool now. He is also an avid outdoorsmen who loves to sit in a tree stand or go out in our jet boat fishin' with his dad! We also have a daughter, Saylee. She 15 months and a handful! It's funny how different boys are from girls. This little girl sure has her daddy wrapped around her little finger though! In February of 2004, I had major ankle surgery. They removed 3 inches of bone that was fused together from each of my ankles. My feet are great now though, I play Ririe City League basketball every winter and try to be as active as my time allows me to be. In 2005 I started working for Holeshot Plumbing. Last year the company changed ownership and I had the chance to become one of the new partners. So far so good as far as business goes. As fast a Southeast Idaho is growing I see another great year ahead of us. I am still friends with Tyson Barney and Chance Peterson. Our families do a lot together. In fact, we just got back from a trip to Cancun with Chance and his wife Richelle (Woods). We had a blast. Our kids are even close - Payton (Tyson's) was born 6 months earlier than Kashlyn (Chance's), and she is 10 days older then Saylee.

Real Estate
I am an assistant to Lani VanderBeek at WinStar Realty. (Yes, she is my mom.) My dad recently retired from the INL (after 35 years!) and works with her too. The site that I created is at www.IdahoWelcomeHome.com. (I'm rather proud of it.) On my site you can search for any home in the Snake River MLS or take a virtual tour of the homes we have for sale. For the months of February and March we are having a drawing to give out a $50 dinner to a qualified buyer that has gone to see one of our houses. Also on the site are useful links to local city, county, and state home pages; sex offender registries (you'd be surprised who lives near you!); and information on schools, including private schools. Take a look at my site and tell me what you think! Of course, if you are even thinking of buying or selling you will want to call Lani (pronounced Lonnie). She has years of experience helping first-time or low-income home buyers, is an Accredited Buyer Representitive, and is the only Ambassador Agent for Single Parent Properties in all of Idaho. (Single Parent Properties helps single parents and low-income buyers get into a home and learn how to avoid predatory lending.) Call her now at 208-403-5800 and tell her I sent you! --Sandi Rowe

Jana Tanner Ralphs
After graduation I went to Ricks for one semester and then moved to Utah. I met my husband in 2000 and we were married a year later. After three years of marriage we had our son Tanner (some people are confused by this but of course his last name is not Tanner)!! He is going to turn 4 in March. I went back to school at LDS Business College a couple of years ago and received a certification for medical transcription. I have been working from home for about a year as a transcriptionist for Primary Children's emergency room and love being able to be at home with my son. We still live in Utah and love being so close to the mountains. In October we found out that we are having twins which came as a big surprise. We found out just recently that they are both boys! So I cannot say if I will be at the reunion since I am due in May although I will try my best to come and see everyone. I hope you are all doing well and that I get to see you soon.

After High School I attended Career Beauty College where I graduated from Cosmetology. In 99 I moved to Salt Lake City with Jana Tanner were I went to work in a salon.
In 2000 I moved back to Rigby and continued doing hair. I met my husband through mutual friends, and three month's after dating we were engaged. We were married in July 2001. We moved to Nampa where I started working in a salon and Assistant managing a beauty supply house. After almost 3 years of marriage we had our first child, Maddison. She is going to be 4 in March and just started her first year of dance! Two years later we had our son Kaden who will be 2 in May.
Since having our first child, I am a stay at home mom. I still do hair for friends and family, and I also do the bookwork for our Trucking company that we own and run out of Nampa.
I'm excited to see everyone and hope your all Happy and Healthy!

Ten years and so much to catch up on. After graduation, I attend Ricks College, graduated with a degree in music and moved to Boise in 2000 to attend Boise State. What a fabulous place Boise turned out to be. I never dreamed of going to BSU, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made! While there, I had the opportunity to be involved in the LDS institute and that is where life took some surprising turns for me!
While in a dating and relationships class, I met my future hubby - though at the time he was dating someone else. Four months later, we both found ourselves in the presidency of the student council at the BSU Institute of Religion, and twelve months after that we were the best at making excuses to work together on projects. Wedded bliss entered our lives in August of 2002 & I graduated with a Bachelors degree in music in December.
We now have two gorgeous daughters, Eleanor-4 and Eliza-almost 2. We moved to Spanish Fork, Utah after Matthew graduated from BSU and was hired to teach seminary at Provo High School (though he is now at Spanish Fork High School teaching). Confusion about why we were moved to Utah was cleared up when Eliza, our second daughter was born. She has several ‘issues’ but has been such a joy. The first year of her life was pretty tough, but now it is smooth sailing.
Eliza’s biggest difference is that she is deaf, so we use American Sign Language in our home and attend the Deaf ward in Provo each Sunday. Learning another language is tough, but so worth it - even Eleanor our oldest is a pro at signing to her little sister.
Life is great, we have a great townhouse (oh to have a yard, though!) that is big enough for our family and then some. I get to be a mom and a wife. Matthew has a fabulous job close to home, and we live far enough away from family to miss them, and close enough to see them often!!
