Name: Melissa Andicochea
Student's Name: Chad Andicochea
Student's Graduation Year: 2011
Birthday: November 24th

Tell us about your family.
My husband and I were both born and raised in Southern California. We love the beach and the mountains. I used to be in real estate and sales and now I stay home with our beautiful 10 month old baby girl, Alaia (who was born in Kirksville). We are rotating in Arizona now and love it.

Do you have any pets?
Yes, we have two dogs. An American Eskimo named Hailey and a German Shepherd named Bear. They were our babies before Alaia came along.

What is your favorite food?
Got to be Mexican!

What word describes you best?
I never know how to answer this. I'm a love bug, so let's say "loving".

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Marrying my husband and having my beautiful baby.

Where do you like to vacation?
San Diego or anywhere with a beach. I would love to go to Europe someday though.

What is your favorite color?
Pink or lavender

How do you want to be remembered?
As a God fearing, loving, devoted, giving woman.

What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
To fly like Superman. I tend to run late so it would be cool to just zip somewhere instead of driving.

Southern California

My Savior and my husband.

Beach and city

Building a successful sky rise hotel/resort like Donald Trump's.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
It's not super crazy, but while on a mission trip in the Caribbean (we were on down time) I saw a man who lived on the island bathing his horse in the ocean and swam out to them. I talked to the man about his horse and he offered for me to ride the horse. I love horses and have experience riding, so I took him up on it and rode the horse in my bathing suit with no saddle, saddle pad or even a halter. There was simply a small rope tied around the horses nose and I held on to the end of it and rode the horse down the beach along the water. It was kind of a dream come true. My fellow team members thought I was crazy, but it was fun
!
Describe your perfect day.
Waking up when I want and going with my husband and baby down to the beach in San Diego to swim in the ocean, sun bathe and relax. Then going shopping later and then maybe getting dressed up for an evening out. Having dinner on the coast and then walking in the sand.

Happy Birthday DeAnne Flammer!

Name: DeAnne Flammer
Student's Name: Brandon Flammer
Student's Graduation Year: 2010
Birthday: November 21st
Blog: flammerfamily.blogspot.com

Tell us about your family.
Brandon and I are high school sweethearts. I had a crush on him in seventh grade. We started dating our junior year of high school. We got married 6 years later on December 4, 2003. We have 3 beautiful children: Jocelyn (4), Kal (2), and River (5 mos). Jocelyn is a smartie, like her dad, and keeps me busy trying to find new things for her to learn. She keeps me happy with all of her snuggles. Kal is such a sweetie and loves to clean. He always has a toy in his hand! River is a smiley little girl. She is very interested in everything her brother and sister are doing. Her little giggles brighten my day.
Do you have any pets?
No pets, but Jocelyn and Kal have been pretending to be puppies and kittens for the past few days, and are Wonder Pets (Ming Ming and Tuck) off and on.
What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is steak. I also love Chilis fajitas.
What is your greatest accomplishment?
My greatest accomplishment is marrying Brandon. I had to ask him out first, then I had to work hard to get that boy to kiss me! (but, hey, he was 16 and it was his first kiss!!). A very close second is having our 3 kids (we will probably have 1-2 more).
What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
I would like to remember everything. I feel like my mind is melting from lack of sleep!! I am currently in massage therapy school and would love to memorize anatomy better. An even bigger reason, though, is time passes by too quickly. I want to be able to remember my kids at this age. I know we will look back at this time of our lives and know it was one of the best and I just want to be able to remember it clearly forever.
Where are you from?
I am from Centerville, Utah.

Happy Birthday Carlotta Stevens!

Name: Carlotta Stevens
Student's Name: Paul Stevens
Student's Graduation Year: 2012
Birthday: November 10th

Tell us about your family.
Lets see...first we have Paul. I'd always wanted to marry a Gilbert Blythe ever since I saw Anne of Green Gables, and when I first saw him I thought he was a pretty good fit. Never thought it would actually amount to anything, but I guess he thought I made a pretty good Anne and asked me to marry him 2 1/2 years later. It made me laugh after we were married a few years and he decided to become a doctor just like Gilbert. Guess dreams do come true! Speaking of dreams coming true...there always seems to be a "happily ever after" and we have had four! Tayla, Tanner, Elisha and Kaija and according to our kiddos we have eleven more to go!!!!!!! We like big families but I think 15 kids would be a little over the top for me....like A LOT over the top.

Where do you like to vacation?
Humm...where doesn't matter as much as with whom and that would be Paul.

What is your favorite color?
Green, but red is a close second.

How do you want to be remembered?
Gosh....how I want to be remembered is so dang far from where I am it's a bit depressing. I have a lot of work to do, so hopefully I live for a very long time so I can become what I hope to be remembered as.

Where are you from?
A family of eight (including parents). I was the second oldest child and the first girl. We worked and played and fought like all families do and then we grew up and now we mainly just work and play together. I spent most of my growing up years between Colorado and Arizona.

Who has had the most influence on your life?
God

Are you a beach, country or city person?
I've never been to the beach, but someday I hope to go and bask in the warm sunshine and flop in the soft white sands....ahhh. Other than that I am most definitely a country bumpkin... give me space and lots of it!!!!

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
When I was a teenager I went to Lake Powell with a group of friends. We decided to cliff jump and the cliffs kept getting higher and higher. The last one we went off was at least sixty feet. Seemed cool at the time, but now I look back and think how incredibly dumb it was.
