My Provo Past

1. FARRER ELEMENTARY- I started working at Farrer Elementary the summer I returned from my mission, in 2007. I started off as an intern teaching 2nd grade. I loved it! That following year I taught 1st grade and ended up teaching 1st grade for 3 years. I really enjoyed working at Farrer. I got along great with the faculty and I really felt like I made a difference. After working at a school that was 80 years old, they knocked it down and started building a new school in its place. The building was finished this summer. I was so sad to not be a part of the new school Provo Peaks Elementary. Farrer will always have a special place in my heart. (I am standing in front of Provo Peaks in this picture).


2. FAMILY- It was so fun to live close to family while living in Utah. I moved to Utah right after I graduated from high school in June of 2002. I feel like I'm from there. We really enjoyed driving to West Jordan often to hang out with Greg's family. Here I am with Greg's sisters: Aubry and Malerie.


3. TEMPLE- It was a tremendous blessing to live so close to the Provo Temple. I started working at the temple in August of 2008. My last day was two weeks ago. I can honestly say that it not only changed my life, but also my marriage. We are very happy. The Provo Temple was where we got married and served as workers for 3 years.


4. FRIENDS- After working at Farrer for 4 years, I became very close to my co-workers. Here are two of my favorite people: Lisa and Marissa. They got me through some of my hardest times.


5. WORK- Greg worked at Brick Oven Pizza for 6 years. He pretty much knows how to make and do EVERYTHING in the restaurant. For the past year and a half he worked in the bakery. He usually went to work at 6am...but some days it was before 5am. Here he is in front of Brick Oven on his last day. Notice how dark it is...



6. PROVO PALS- We made many friends while we lived in Provo, but the very best ones were Ashley, Ben, and Cheyenne. Ashley and I were roommates for 2 years, neighbors for 2 years, and sisters for life. We sure miss these guys a lot. (This picture was taken by their house).

It is amazing the impact people and places can have on your life. We look back on our time in Provo with really fond memories. We had a wonderful time there. I decided what to study, to serve a mission, to do an internship, and who to get married to while we lived there. We are so grateful for our growth and learning experiences, but know the Lord has a plan for us here in Vegas. We are excited for the times we will have here. Thanks for the memories!
