After leaving Stoneybrooke, I attended University High School in Irvine. At UHS, I was able to perform in the '98 Superbowl Half-time Show with the color guard team. College was at Coastline Community where I majored in Computer Science. I have since postponed completing my degree in Computer Science because I married Steven, a Network Engineer for AAA, in 2005. Shortly after celebrating our one year anniversary together, we found out that we would be relocating to Phoenix, Arizona. Now, a year later, we are slowly adjusting to the extreme weather changes and slower pace. Steven is still with AAA, and I have been blessed with a wonderful position with TriWest, our military's healthcare company. It is exciting to look forward to buying our first house out here within the next year and truly settling down in our new home state.Brandon Bethke
