Angela (Christensen) Snedaker Marries Her FHE Brother!

Name: Angela Dawn Christensen Snedaker
Spouse: Brandon Varr Snedaker

Where You Two Met: Brandon and I met at Ricks College in January 1999. He was my Family Home Evening brother. We would go swing dancing and rock climbing together. He finally asked me out and we have been inseperable since. During college I studied voice and violin. After I graduated from Ricks, he moved to Salt Lake to work with me for the summer, and we got married on August 21st, 1999. We went back to Rexburg for a year to finish his shooling, and then spent the next 4 years in Provo while he went to school at BYU and I worked for a dental software company. We had 2 kids during that time, and then Brandon landed a job in Seattle with Boeing as a manufacturing engineer. We have lived in the Seattle area for nearly 3 years now. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary, and we're expecting our 3rd baby in December.

Our oldest child is Owen. He is four and will be 5 in March. Sadie will be 3 next month. "Feed Dog", as our kids have christened the baby, is due in December, and we have decided to be surprised regarding the gender. I am a stay-at-home mom (ie house slave, ha ha), which I love. I'm still not tired of wearing pjs all day. Just kidding. I am the Primary President in my ward at church. I crave creativity, Cold Stone ice cream, and a full night's sleep. My greatest accomplishment (lately) is potty-training my daughter. I love living in Renton (20 minutes south of Seattle) - there is never a shortage of things to do and places to go. I miss being close to family and friends, but life has never been better.

My favorite memories from high school are being in Madrigals, Jeannie Nelson, best friends Julianne and Becca (love you!), "Drama for Your Llama", Nick Nielsen's belly bagel, wearing pjs and curlers to school, yelling at Ms. Woodward, musicals and plays, water aerobics, playing jokes on Mr. Crooks, getting soaked at football games, Mr. Riley reading to us from the tabloids durig trig, sleeping in nearly every class I took, etc...

I refuse to share my most embarrassing moments since high school, as there have been too many, but I will share that what I am most proud of since then is marrying my hot man who makes beautiful children. I love my family!!

I totally missed the reunion because of less-than-desirable travel circumstances, but I miss you all and hope you had an awesome time!

Becca (Wallis) Selph--No More Fixer-Uppers!

I just have to say thanks to all of you who are putting this together. What a great idea to have this blog. You guys are fabulous. It’s so fun to see what everyone is up to.

After high school I went to SLCC for a semester and then on to USU. I really enjoyed Logan. I met Matt Selph there in the fall of 1999 and we were married March 11, 2000. We continued living in Logan while Matt completed his Masters degree. We had our first son Isaac in August of 2001. We bought our first house, an old 4-plex in downtown Salt Lake about a year after that. A few months later we moved to Puerto Rico. We were there for about 5 months. That was an adventure. We lived in an apartment right on the beach, and I was able to learn some Spanish. Even though I was on the beach everyday, I never got tan, go figure.

After that we moved back to Utah and bought a house in Sandy. We lived there for three years. While we were there we had our second son, Matthias, in March 2004. About a year ago we built a house in Lehi. In February we had our third little boy, Gideon. I really enjoy our new house, it is a great improvement from the “fixer-uppers” we’ve had in the past. The area is nice too. We live in a cul-de-sac and there are always friends for my kids to play with.

I love to travel. We have been to many places around the States, including Myrtle Beach, SC, which we visit often. Last October we went to Brazil (that was an awesome trip) and in March we went to Hawaii. We have also been to Mexico, Puerto Rico, and The Dominican Republic. In high school the furthest I had ever traveled was Seattle, it’s been eye opening to see other parts of the world and how other people live. I plan to visit many more places before I’m done.

I have had the opportunity to be a stay home mom ever since our first son was born. I love it. Isaac is almost 6 now and about to start kindergarten. Matthias is 3 and Gideon is 6 months. Having three little boys in one house can get pretty hectic, and there are times that they drive me crazy, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Matt is a wonderful man and a fabulous husband. I am the luckiest girl in the world because I have four cute guys who adore me!
