Name: Angela Dawn Christensen SnedakerSpouse: 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!

So, yeah. 10 years. Wow. So much has changed, and so much has remained the same. Well, here goes nothing. Right after graduation, I went to Dixie College where I'd been honored with a ¼ tuition academic scholarship. I enjoyed my time there studying business artistic communications, but I decided to cut it short. While I was there, I started my own bellydancing troupe and we began touring pretty regularly through the greater metropolis areas of southern Utah and northern Arizona. The duality got to be too much stress and I was forced to drop out of school in order to give my performing career a fair chance. I loved my time as a bellydancer, but the fast-paced world of show business got the better of me and after a few years on the road, I had to give it up and spend some time in rehab.
During the time that I was trying to clean up, I got married and moved into a polygamous commune up in northern Idaho. Merrell was very sweet and giving, but I found I needed more boundaries and control from a husband, so I left. Throughout this time I'd kept in touch with an old high school friend and former flame of mine (also a 1997 Granger Grad), Scott Steele. Our relationship had remained strong through the years and only got more intense as time wore on. 
After having three gorgeous kids together, we finally decided to just jump in and tie the knot. He is definitely the love of my life, and I am exquisitely happy. We were married on Friday, the 13th of April, 2007. We are working vigorously to get things together and right in our life. At the moment we live in the basement of his father's house, and we feel very blessed to have a permanent address for a while. I'm back in an out-patient rehab, which is going great this time around. I have the awesome opportunity to work as an assistant manager at our local Arctic Circle. Scott is working as an oil mechanic at Sam's Club and also sells his hand-made hemp jewelry at farmers' markets and craft fairs around the state on the weekends. We are working hard together and expect to be able to get the kids out of state custody sometime in the next few months, hopefully before Christmas. Their foster mom has been really good for all of us.
