This is such a great opportunity to fill in and get caught up on the class of '97. I hope every one is happy, successful and wealthy. I have been progressing as of late and will summarize the past 10 years in a few paragraphs.Shortly after graduation, I fulfilled an LDS mission to Seattle, Washington. I love that area and hope to live in that area again someday soon. I would say my mission was a success and returned home to marry Alyssa Barker one year later. As she finished up school at BYU I completed a program that got me hired on with the 2002 Winter Olympic Broadcasting Crew at the Soldier Hollow events. While it was an amazing experience and I learned a great deal, I realized that that was not the industry for me. I then received my associates from UVSC in Orem, Utah. I then transferred to the University of Utah and received my bachelors degree in communication with an emphasis in public relations in December of 2005. Through out most of this time I was a sales manager for an HVAC store front and started raising a small family with Alyssa. Chamberlain Paul was born in November of 2002 and Savill Ester was born March of 2005. We are currently expecting a third child to be born on September 4th, 2007 and plan on naming her Naomi Myrle. There is no doubt that my family is my greatest source of happiness and they constantly remind me of how great life is.
Our children really keep us busy and Alyssa is doing a great job of raising them as tend to work a lot. Chamberlain is a sponge for knowledge and loves anything to do with dinosaurs, crocodilians and Star Wars. Savill is a very girly girl and still manages to lay a little hurt on her older brother. She loves swimming and all sorts of activities that allow her to use her very strong set of lungs, allowing her to reach some very high pitched screams. Other that that, we find ways to stay very busy with life in general.
I am currently working in promotions and managing a portion of the worlds largest promotional campaign, working with WalMart and various name brands in the food industry. I anticipate occupational changes occurring in the near future and hope to put my schooling to greater use. We recently bought a home in Sandy, Utah and are loving life as a growing family.
I am always eager to hear how everyone is doing and expect to see many of the class of '97 making headlines or making history. I am so grateful to have been associated with such a fine group of people and will cherish my time in your presence. (another picture coming soon!)
Best wishes and fond memories,

Paul,
So great to hear about you and your wonderful life! I didn't realize you had married Alyssa, or maybe I just forgot!! She is such a sweetie and I am so happy for the two of you. Your children are beautiful. Good luck with the new one and everything else!

Paul,
I'm so glad we got to see you guys for Christmas. Your family is so cute! Still doing the bishop thing? My hubby just got called as a counselor about 3 months ago, so I can I empathize with Alyssa. It's hard being left home alone to care for the family alot, but we have had so many many blessings, and I am glad to serve. I hope I see you all again soon. Sounds like you guys are doing good.

Paul,
Hello! It's good to hear you are doing well. I saw you and your wife a few times down in Provo a few years back, but both times I was in a hurry to get to an appointment. I didn't think that yelling across the parking lot at Albertson's was a good way to say hi! :) Do the two of you still sing? You both have beautiful voices, I hope you do. You have a very beautiful family.
