You all look GREAT!!!

Hello "Class of 87"!!! I can't believe it's been 20 years. You all look so good. Well if you can't figure out who I am...it's Drianne. I have to say there is a few of you I don't think that I would have recognized if I seen you walking down the street. Well I guess it's my turn to put in a post since I can't go to bed at night without checking out the blog. I am very happily married to Dan Mehlen (Oct.5/99) and we have 3 beautiful kids Brylee(6), Ashaya(4), and Josh(3). We live SW of Foremost.AB(about 1 hour East of Magrath). I'm a stay at home mom and we farm for a living. I can't wait to see you all in July(hopefully I can be there). I think this is a great way for all of us to keep in contact even after the reunion.For all of you that haven't put in a post...Get your butts goin!!! Oh, this is for Mark and Teresa...It's about damn time!!!Take care classmates............Drianne

Drianne, what a great looking family. I was just telling Mark about some of my memories of you and your family...remember your mom having us do situps, how 'bout the 'Thompson Stomp', hockey games, Jovan, Bread w/Tomatoes & Cheeze done in the toaster oven and T.J.Hooker. There are so many more...it will be good to see you.

So fun to see everyone - what a great looking family you have. I hope it works into your plans that you can come. We are definitely doing something Friday night - 'till all hours if Dave has anything to say about it! It will be great to get together.

Mary said...

How adorable! I remember when my kids were that age and making mischief... They were about the same age distance apart as yours.. Taking care of them WAS a full time job and you have one more than I did.. They look so cute!
Like Dave said, it really is cool to see everyone's families and hear that they, our classmates, are happy. I too, have to check the blog before I go to bed... See you in July!

Drianne, you have a great looking family. I still have the same car as in high school, but it looks alot different than you remember. I
park it for the winter,so it wasn't
me you saw. I will bring it to the
reunion, good to here from you.
See you in July.

Tobi said...

Drianne, such a beautiful little family, how do you like Foremost/farm life? I second the fact that I would not recognize most people. Try to make it in July, it will be a bang up time.

Drianne said...

Hey Tobi,it's good to hear from you.I will say that it took me a few years to get use to living out in the boonies.It's like living in Del Bonita and all your friends live in Lethbridge.Suzanne came to my house in October and she actually said that I live in the boonies. Thats pretty bad considering where she grew up...and also you too.So you know exactally what I'm talking about! As for the farming ..it's a great place to raise kids.I guess thats all I can ask for.In my spare time I'm a "Scrapbooking Queen". Is there anymore" Queens" out there?See you in July!!

Drianne,
Beautiful looking family. My daughtrer would love to play and watch your daughter she is a real "Mother Hen", any little girls younger then she is, she takes pretty good care of. Glad you posted. I am working on a family pic. Waiting for my Husband to send me some off of his computer in Wyoming. See you this summer.

Drianne, I would recognize you from a mile away, you look the same as you did 20 years ago!
I will vouche for you not recognizing people though, Hostess Taber, you almost kicked me out of the plant for wearing the wrong colored hairnet before you recognized me.... And that was about 10 years ago. Do you feel bad now.... well do ya? Just kiddin.
You, Dan & the kids look great, Teresa talks about you all the time. It will be good to see you guys in july.

Hi Drianne,
What a nice photo of your good looking family! It will be nice to see you in July. I hope you can make it. Just wondering, why did your Mom make you and Teresa do sit ups???

Melissa said...

Hey Drianne:
Great to see your pic and read about what you've been up to!
Hey do you know Kurt & Michelle Mueller? Their son Brett is on Orrin's (my 13 yr old) hockey team.
I love to scrapbook also, but with working fulltime I hardly find the time anymore. I actually sell Creative Memories scrapbook supplies and teach classes. I would love to get together with anyone who would like to scrap!! Mabey we can set up something some time at the reunion weekend???? or sooner, too!!
TTYS!
Melissa

Angie said...

Drianne,

Wow! The family looks awesome. I cannot tell you how much I miss seeing you. We had some great times. Please give me a call when you are around and we will definitely get together.

Love Angie

Melissa said...

Hey, that last post sounds like I am trying to sell you something. I'm not. I just love to get together to scrapbook, because unless I "arrange something" I don't get around to scrapping (since I started working fulltime I never get anything done!)
I have tonz of cool tools and lots of great idea books to share, so if anyone wants to get together... I'm game!!

Melissa
PS I haved had 28 scrapbook pages or ideas published so far!

Tracy said...

Hey Drianne,
I hope you can make to the reunion. I would love to meet your family. Your little ones are adorable. You all look very content. I have some great memories of us as "hockey sis's". Do you remember our red and white SATIN hockey jackets? We were such great fans. Makes me sad and happy now. It would be nice to catch up at the reunion...try to make it!
Take care,
Tracy

Drianne said...

Hey you guys, sorry it's taken awhile to get back to you all,it's been a bit crazy around here. First of all , Mark I'm so sorry about the Hostess thing and yes I still feel like an ass,but you should have had a hair net on. HaHa!! Can't wait to see you and "T".

Melissa it's great to know there's another scrapper out there. I sell " Close To My Heart " scrapbooking supplies and I love it. Like you I just don't have as much time to do it as I would like. Every year I go to Pincher Creek for a scrapbookong weekend at the Bloomin Inn. Have you been there, if not I highly recommend it. It would be great to get together and do some scrappin. Let me know when you girls get together the next time and I'll try to make it. Can't wait to see you. Do you remember going roller skating for your birthday party or was that for something else?I'm sure Michelle was there to. Do you remember that? Let me know so I don't think that I 've lost my mind!!!!You know I'm 38...am I the first one to turn 38? Talk to you soon. Oh I will be at the reunion on the Friday but not on Saturday. Is there anything planned for the losers that don't golf or can we tag along and bug the rest of you?

Love you all

Anonymous said...

HEY SWEETIE!!! You can hang with me as I'm not golfing either, we'll have our trailer there, so we'll sit back and tip a few together!!!!!! Next time Dri you should pop in to Co-operators in the mall in Pincher Creek and say Hi to my Bro/Dad. I'll call you one of these days.

Melissa said...

I go to the Crows Nest Pass a couple times a year for scrapbooking. Never been to Pincher Creek, though. Shorter drive, may be a better idea.....something I will have to check out!
I remember rollerskating in the OLD school. Not sure what it was for?? Could have been a birthday, just don't remember. I remember roller tag or somethinglike it and lots of screeching and laughing.
Speaking of the OLD school does anyone remember the dances there?
Now kids don't like to go to dances like we did. They are missing out! We always had so much fun.
