Where Are They Now? — Teresa Mendenhall (Jarrett)

After graduation I worked for a year at a sewing factory. I am not a perfectionist but I love to sew. Whenever I sluffed class I was usually in Mrs. Price's class sewing something. I then went to Snow College. When I came home I went to beauty school. As soon as I graduated I left for a mission to St. Louis, Missouri. I loved it out there. When I returned home my parents had moved to Orem and my friends were married and had kids. I spent a year working at a temp agency trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I was sent to a job where I met a handsome and funny man. Mark and I were married three months later. I decided to work in a salon doing hair. I worked until we had our daughter KayDee (12). After her birth I switched salons and two years later we had our son Alex (10). I did hair for a few years until I became allergic to the chemicals and had to quit. I then worked at Convergys doing customer service for American Express.

We lived in Provo the first few years till we outgrew our house. Then we moved to Pleasant Grove where we have been for 8 + years. Though so many of you live around here, I have only run into Heidi at UVRMC where she did my ultra sound when I was pregnant with my son.

Mark now works as a manager for Mtn. View Marketing. They distribute items for convenience stores, like the sunglasses and toys you buy at the gas stations. He has recently gone back to school so I am now home doing the mom thing. We have two beautiful children who keep us very busy. We love to go camping and every year still go to Fort Bridger Wyoming to reenact mountain man rendezvous. My daughter and I spent a year hand sewing dresses to be in a contest and my daughter came in 1st place in her age group.

It’s amazing it’s been 20 years, but I have to admit I had to get out the year book for most of you. Some of you have hardly changed but it has been so long I hope we all wear name tags at the reunion.
