3. Favorite memories- trainings in midway, being nervous to meet my girls for the first time, speakers and testimony meetings, talent shows, bus rides, spaghetti and temple square, roller skating- Plan B, BYU Van driver licenses, lockbox, feeling the love.
4. What you are up to these days- I've been married 6 years to my fabulous husband, Asher. We have two beautiful daughters: Arianne (4) and Marissa (1). We currently live in Batesville Indiana, a very tiny town. It's been great to live here and enjoy a slower paced life. I teach a few piano students, aerobics classes, and currently serve as the ward activities director.

3. There are so many of my favorite memories, Marker fights and late nights with Skipper, The lazy river at Seven Peaks, making life long friends, the miracles that you saw happen, the sparkle in the eyes of your girls as you watch their testimony grow, My girls putting up a sign on the Cannon Center that told me to for Josh at Seven Peaks, eek!!, Never wanting to smell or eat at the Spaghetti Factory every again!, memorizing every line to Legacy and than reenacting it with Rocket, the cock roaches and smell of Shermin Texas, and of course our star shoes, scrunchies, star shirts and bells all worn lovingly at Lagoon (boy did we look beautiful!!). Most of all I remember how happy I was and how it changed my life for the better.
4. Now days I am busy being a mom. I have three great kids, Paige 5, Sadie 2 and Trey 8 months. They keep me busy and on my toes but I am so thankful for them. Jeremy and I live in little Dayton Idaho (near Preston, home of Napoleon Dynamite) and you will be glad to know that I don't wear a side ponytail nor do we wear moon boots as so many people in the world now assume! I help at the local high school by advising the student council, which I love. I go two days a week for one hour and my kids get to come with me, it's great! My kids think that they are part of the high school scene. In my spare time I love to sew and watch my kids play with their dad on our horses.

Ernie, Academy 1995, 1996

I have so many memories, it is obviously hard to list everything! I loved marker fights at 7 peaks, driving the big vans, the fashion show, "I will survive" at the talent show, shoes with stars on them, making butter, teaching classes, and just generally being silly all the time. It was so fun to just be a kid again. I also loved how Academy strengthened my testimony and prepared me to be a wife and a mother.

These days I live in Lake Stevens, Washington with my husband Derek and my two boys Wesley and Asher. I love being a mom and have so much fun going to play group, story time at the library, and outings into Seattle. I also love reading and am in a great book club. I am very happy!

My email address is sorella_tate@hotmail.com. I love hearing from people!

3. Working with incrediblely talented ladies and learning as we served together daily. There are so many fond memories of academy for me that start way back when I was a participant. I would have to say that my fondest memory was when I was a girl attending that I gained a testimony that I was a daughter of God and that He really loved me! I became interested in being a counselor because I wanted to help create a smiliar experience for another young girl. I have countless memories of cinnimon roll hugs, "sure love ya" cheers, hugs, tears, late night letter writing, "busting" our night owl girls, and testimonies blooming. I had the time of my life!! I can honestly say that AFG changed my life and I am SO GRATEFUL I had the opprotunity to be apart of such a wonderful and life changing program!
4. I live in Lake George, New York with my handsome husband and adorable twin boys. I am delighted to finally have the priviledge of being a mother. My boys were born on November 29, 2004. We named them Cameron and Quinten. They are growing fast and change almost everyday it seems. Before I had my boys I occupied my time by teaching swimming and aerobics at our local YMCA. I also started my own swimming instruction and personal training business the summer of 2003, which is now know as Backyard Pool and Fitness. I have a simple website if you want to take a look it is www.backyardpoolandfitness.com .

2. We didn't have names my year, which was 1997 "Treasure the Truth"

3. Favorite or memorable Academy memory - I still treasure thinking about my session in Lawrence, Kansas. The session was an amazing one as we travelled to the church history sites and felt such a strong spirit at Liberty
Jail, Adom -on-di-Ahman, Hans Mill, etc. We all grew together through feeling the spirit as one.

Probably the funniest moments were constantly being mistaken for a girl. When I went to ask the front desk for some more toilet paper sometime, I had forgotten to wear my nametag. They told me I needed to go back and ask
my counselor to come up for some. This was one of many occasions that I didn't look my age.

4. I have been married 8 1/2 years now and am kept busy with three kids. I have two girls and a boy, ages 4 1/2, 3, and 18 months. We have lived in Utah, Arizona, Wisconsin, and back to Utah in pursuit of my husband's job with Sky West Airlines as a pilot. It has been a long road with some of the 9/11 setbacks, but we are very happy to be where we are now. We have just recently settled in our first home in South Jordan, Utah. Since Academy for Girls, I graduated from BYU and taught Elementary School for 2 years. For now when I am not completely busy being a mom, I love to run, waterski, be outdoors, scrapbook, try new crafts, and spend time with friends and family.

3. Too many memories. Everyday brought its own memory and adventure.
4. I'm a happy mom to my 14 month year old son, William. He's an active little boy so he keeps me running and always laughing. I serve in Young Women as the Mia Maid advisor and also work a couple of hours a week in a University of Washington family housing community center. My husband is attending the University of Washington as a PhD student in bioengineering. He will begin his fourth year this fall. We enjoy Seattle and this summer we have hiked quite a bit as a family discovering Washington's beautiful lakes and waterfalls.

2. I attended AFG as a girl for 4 years. Then I was a counselor in the summers of
1995, 1996 and 1997.
3. Some of my favorite memories from Academy are the music, registration, testimony meetings, banquets with the same food each week (ugh), love notes from girls and counselors. I absolutely loved it when I would wake up in the morning with a little surprise outside my door! To this day, I will look at my front door when I drive by to see if anyone left me anything there! I guess I still expect to see a thought with a piece of candy or something. Sometimes I still have dreams about Academy, only I don't know who any of my girls are, and I haven't made any preparations! Funny. I love the spirit of Academy and all of the memories, for the person it turned me into.
4. I will be celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary this August! I am enjoying staying at home with our two beautiful girls, Alyssa (3) and Emma Jane(15 months). After Academy we moved to PA for three years for school. Then we took a job in Carson City, Nevada for two years. Then we were able to move closer to family with a new job last year. So we are living in Stansbury Park, Utah. I would love to get together with everyone some time soon!

2.I went to Academy as a participant ages 12-14 and then worked as a counselor in 1996, a BC/Counselor in 1997, and Coordinator in 1998.
3. So many memories…too many to mention. But I loved watching the “change of heart” in each girl by the end of the week.
4. I’ve been married 6 years this fall, and I have two beautiful girls. Ruby is 4 and Betsy is 18 months. I love being a Mom and that pretty much occupies most of my time. On the side, I enjoy rug-hooking, quilting, and planning retreats for women. I also own my own business called Artichoke Ink in which I provide handlettering services for soon-to-be brides, among others.

3. I love my memories of my girls. I loved laughing with them. Grandma jokes, singing walking all around campus, and playing lawn games. The thing that is most precious to me however is how Academy molded and taught me to be better. The counselors raised me to their level. They inspired me to be better. I am so grateful for the lessons and testimony I found at Academy.
4. I live in Gilbert, Az. I laugh that I ended up in a rather large city, coming from Mendon, UT. Our population was in the hundreds when I was growing up! I am happily married and have been for 7 years. We have two awesome little boys, Tyler and Adam.
