Gimbel Crew

It is so great to hear how everyone is doing. You all have accomplished so much over the past nine years. I guess I will try and go back that far as well. After Snow, I went to BYU and finished my undergrad. I had lots of fun there living the Provo life. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to last long enough. In December 2001 I graduated in teaching and moved back home to Henderson. I got a teaching job in February at a school in Henderson that opened that fall. I taught Kindergarten half day and pulled out first graders the other half of the day. The next year I went to teaching only first grade. I have been teaching first grade for the past 6 years. Shortly after I started teaching, I decided to go back to school and get my masters (what was I thinking??) During the summer of 2003 I started taking classes at UNLV and continued to take classes after work throughout the next year. I finally graduated in Early Childhood Special Ed. During the spring of 2005, I started dating Justin Gimbel. I knew of him in high school, but remet in the singles ward. We had a FAST dating and courtship! Then after what seemed like living the single life forever, I got married on October 14, 2005. We bought a house not too far from both of our parents. A little over a year later, we had a baby boy. Parker was born on Ddecember 29, 2006. He is a little over one and getting into everything. Up until last week, I was in the Primary Presidency, which was getting tricky with trying to chase Parker during Primary. I think I covered it all. I tried including some pictures, but the server was not working so well. I will try again some other time.
I am sure Natalie won't do it, so I will give you a little update on her. She went to Dixie the year after we left Snow. That is where she met her husband Matt Jensen. He was actually living in Vegas, but was in St. George visiting friends, which were Natalie's neighbors. They have been married almost 8 years and have 3 children, 2 girls and a boy. Jack is actally a month older than Parker. Alexis is 6 and in Kindergarten and Hannah is 3. They also live in Henderson.
