Where Are They Now? — Erica Jarman (Jenks)
Ok, I just have to ask, how’d I get my hair to do that back then?! Seriously. Anyone? I mean, it just isn’t about the hair these days, is it? Wow.
After graduation, I went to UVSC for about a semester and realized that I didn’t want to do that anymore, so I moved up to Washington State. I lived and worked in the Seattle area for about a year and a half and loved it! Then I moved back to Provo. Four years later I married my now ex-husband, we divorced in 2004.
About 3 months after my divorce was final, I met my husband Tom. (I used to work with his mom and she set us up :). We dated for 2 years and finally got married last August. While I only brought a cat to the family, Tom brought his 3 girls: Jessica is 23, Malora is 17 and Kassidi is 13. (Just to clarify, I am not really a cat person, which is why there are no photos of my cat, but I love my cat). The girls had fun helping to plan the wedding and were very excited about our wedding cake - which they helped design.
Jessica and Kassidi are living with their mom in Arizona, but get to come up for holidays and summer visits. Malora lives with us full time in Lehi, and we love it there. It is close to Tom’s work, and I love the neighborhood. Tom is really great and we are still having fun with setting up house and working in the yard together. Ok, so I’m not really having FUN working in the yard, but I am having fun working with Tom.
I am currently employed as an executive assistant at Vantage/Legrand in Orem, and Tom is a mechanic and has his own shop in Alpine.

WOW! You look incredible. No that does not surprise me. You were always so beautiful in high school, It's just that you seem to keep getting even more beautiful.
I am so glad you finally did your blog. It was fun to read about your life.
I hope you and your family are coming to the reunion. I am so looking forward to seeing you. It's been over 17 years, when we both lived in Washington. Hope to see you soon.

I've often wondered what you have been up to. It's great to catch up on your life! Sounds like you and your husband are doing well! You were a great friend in high school, Erica, and I have really good memories of you.
I hope to catch up more with you on Saturday!

It doesn't look like you've aged. What is your secret? I have fun memories of you in Mrs. Price sewing class.
Best,

Good to see you the other day at...well you know, that big store that starts with a "W"...Walgreen's, ya that's right, Walgreen's is the name of that store I saw you at. Don't confuse it with "Wal-Mart" because I am way to classy to shop there.
Anyway, good to see you caved in and joined us bloggers. I've wondered how you've been from time to time. Good to see you are doing so well. I considered myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to go to Morp with you. If I wasn't so stupid and had a girlfriend, I would have wanted to hang out with you a ton more. Thanks for your friendship back then, and for the huge injection of confidence by asking me to Morp. You were truly one of the "hotties" at PHS. So glad you are doing so great. Love that wedding cake, by the way.
It was great to see you and I'm sorry we didn't spend much time talking and catching up, but I did get the patented "Erica" smile and that was enough to move on. You still have a wonderful smile. I am glad you are doing great and I hope all continues to be even better. It was great seeing you. Take care

I was really hoping to see you Saturday at the picnic. Sorry I missed you. I was told you were there, but somehow our paths didn't cross and I was really disappointed.
Hopefully we'll run into each other before another 5 or 10 years passes.
Take care,
Lance
