Greetings from Idaho. Here is a quick run-down of the past ten years:
99-00 I went to Snow one semester before serving a mission in Connencticut and Rhode Island. That one semester was a blast and I worked hard saving money to pay for the mish. I worked still at the Mount Pleasant seminary and at Bar-E.
00-02 I had a great mission and still have a great fondness for New England. Fall there is the best time of year and I still miss the smell the air gets as the millions of trees fade into winter.
02-04 I got home just before my 21st birthday and could not wait to get back into the swing of things. My first date home was with Becca Hanson. I think we went to a dance at Snow. Later on she was in my cousin's ward and my cousin's wife was her visiting teacher! I bought my first car, a red honda accord (which is still running) and looked for a job and found one up in Utah County. So I took my life back to my old stomping grounds and lived with my cousins in Orem. I worked at Los Hermanos in Lindon and almost got married, but it didn't work out. I began UVSC that fall of '02 and took a different job as a glass technician for Techna Glass. That didn't go for too long and I found a job at TwinLab thanks to our good friend Trista! Trista and I became the best of friends for many years to come going on countless road trips and 311 concerts. At the end of '04 I got laid off of TwinLab and started a new job at NuSkin day one of '05.
05-06 While giong to school full-time at night I worked full-time at NuSkin as a formulator. I was getting a psych degree, but found I had a knack for personal care formulations. I lived at home with my family (they moved to Pleasant Grove) and worked hard to get my degree done ASAP. Two weeks before the end of 06 I got a call from a similar company in Idaho Falls, whom NuSkin did some business with and got an offer I couldn't refuse. So I packed my things and moved up to Idaho Falls to begin a new life. 07-Present Just before I left to Idaho I started dating a girl whom I had known for almost a year. Angel was in my BYU singles ward and we just hadn't connected until then. We started clicking and decided to trade off weekends and date long distance. Although dating long distance wasn't fun it eventually worked out and we got married in June of last year in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. I sold my condo in Provo and made a killing off it just before the market went flat and bought us a nice place just east of Idaho Falls in Ammon. On labor day of last year we discovered we were pregnant and now are the proud parents of a very healthy and happy baby girl, A.J. (Angel Jane). I began working for Melaleuca at the end of January of 08 and am currently enjoying my position there.
Well there it is, the past ten years in a nut shell. This spuds for you! (I know lame potato joke) Aaron, Angel, and A.J. Peterson
