Fuzz Ball's first post ever!


Although I taught computer classes and love reading other people's blogs, I've never contributed before. Hope this works.


Here's Fuzz Ball's last 13 years--the Reader's Digest Version


In 1996 I went on a mission to Albania (for 10 months after leaving the MTC and before getting evacuated) and then finished in Scotland. I came home and finished my degree in secondary education at USU--business and marketing education. I moved home and student taught at Alta High, then was hired to teach at Bountiful High for the graduating class of 2000.


About the time I got hired I met Rich. We dated all that school year and got married in June of 2000. Rich had been married before and has a son, Hans, by that marriage. (Hans just turned 12 this May.) We built a house in Stansbury Park and moved in the Fall after we were married. I taught at Bountiful for 4 more years (5 years total) ---Elly was born in June of 2002 (she's now 6), then our daughter Hope was born in July 2004 (she just turned 4).


Starting the Fall of 2004 I was hired to teaching for Tooele District...trying to simplify things since we live in that district. I taught for them for 2 years, and have now been at home for the past 2 years keeping busy as a Mom and in our ward & neighborhood. It's amazing how busy that can keep us, isn't it?

I'm expecting another little girl September 21st--only 8 more weeks! My husband works for Dugway Proving Grounds. He's a contractor and works with Chemical Agents. He loves his job...about an 80 minute commute from here into the desert.

I think the last time I heard from you was a letter I got from you when you were evacuated from Albania. Time sure flies. What a cute family. Congrats on the new arrival soon to come! Ace

I have a good friend from high school that was evacuated from Albania as well--do you know Jeff Sanders? He spend 5 months in Italy and then went back to Albania for a bit. (I think) Anywho, I remember very clearly being at your apt when you opened up your mission call. Crazy to think it has really been that long. Congrats on your little one!

Oh, and good job on your first post!

Yep, I know Jeff. We were a really small mission (about 23 of us evacuated if memory serves.) I stayed in touch with mission friends really well at first...but not so well now. Do you know where Jeff is these days?

I had forgotten that you were there when I opened my call--things kind of blur together, ya know?
