Sarah Stice:  

Life Hey everyone! Well, after high school I attended Ricks College studying Interpersonal Communications. Did some fun EFY youth counseling in the summers there too. After receiving my associate degree at Ricks, I transfered to Utah State University. Then I served an LDS church mission in Venezuela for a year and a half. I grew to really love the big hearted people there and became fluent in Spanish. I also gained a stronger appreciation for the blessing it is to live in a country that honors freedom and provides oportunities and a hope for much brighter futures than what I saw. In my life since high school I have gotten into some new hobbies. I did a lot more rock climbing and even helped teach basic rapelling and climbing skills. I haven't done it since I had my daughter, but would like to. I got heavily into dancing. I must have danced 5 days of the week my last year at Ricks between dance classes, dances at the school, and dance clubs around town. I mostly enjoyed Country Swing, Lindy Hop, and just normal social dances. I've fallen in love with Photography. In fact, I've seriously considered going back to school and taking a few classes for it. One day I plan to have a studio and a black room in my home. I also spend a bit of time editting digital photography with some fun new software I got for Chirstmas. And last, I've gotten into real estate over the past year and a half. I will probably get my realtor's lisence in the next two years soley for personal investment purposes. During my last month at Ricks College, I met my husband, Todd. We became best friends practicly upon contact. He left shortly after for Peru to serve a spanish speaking mission for two years. A year later I left to Venezuela for my mission. We both had wonderful experiences serving the people of each nation and teaching things we both share a strong conviction for. We wrote books full of letters to each other throughout the two and a half years we were apart. He was from Idaho so he flew up to Alaska to be there when I came home from Venezuela. Five weeks later we were engaged and four months after that, on March 28, 2003, we were married in the Boise Idaho LDS Temple (3 years to the exact day that we met). It was a beautiful, perfect day. I took a job as a paraprofessional with troubled teens and worked until our daughter was born about a year later on April 5 (my birthday). We named her Brielle Grace Stice. Brielle for sunshine (French), and Grace is my grandmother's name. In our first two years of marriage we have started two very successful businesses, sold one for a nice profit, bought, remodeled, and sold a home, are buying another, moved 5 times, had a baby, my husband has attended two universities, and I have taken real estate investing classes. We treasure our quiet evenings together where we can take a load off in front of the TV and just BE. Things are slowing down now, though. We are very excited about our new home in the Fruitland, ID area which we will be moving into in May. My husband thoroughly enjoys his job as Financial Director and part owner of the Hospice that he and a couple family members started last spring. It is a very compassionate and rewarding business to be in. Also, he bought us Salsa dance lessons for my Valentine's prese...Expand for more
