Meet the White family

 

 

Meet Liz White

Liz grew up in Kennewick Washington. She graduated from BYU in Elementary Ed. (Elementary school teacher). Liz has been married for 15 years. She met her husband playing soccer where she created her own, in my opinion,  Bachelorette by recruiting a bunch of men to play soccer with her. I love it! (smart lady).Liz has six children, Emily (14), Benjamin (12), Daniel (10), Rachael (8),Sarah(6), and Seth(2). They moved into their home in December  from Syracuse. They love their nice new home where their children have lots of room to run. Liz plays the violin and is currently taking piano lessons. She is all about easy recipes and has created a easy recipe website at EasyrecipesbyLiz.com. She is also starting a preschool in her home, (She will be great). Liz is an incredible lady and has a darling family. They have suffered a loss recently and could use much love and support from their new extended family, us of course! I hope we all take the time to welcome this wonderful family into the neighborhood.

 

Meet Lindsey Torgesen

I was born in Washington, D.C, but I grew up in Idaho Falls.  I graduated from Idaho Falls High School, and then went to BYU and received by degree in Human Biology.  I have always loved science and have been fascinated in how the body works.

Sam and I met at BYU.  It’s a long story, but skiing brought us together.  Once I found out that Sam loved to ski, I knew that we had to go.  Our first date was magical: perfect weather, a fun day skiing at Sundance, and it seemed that we had everything in common.   That summer (1997) we were married in the Idaho Falls Temple.

Sam was born in Provo, but grew up in Maryland.  He loves sports, and is a huge Arsenal soccer fan and Dallas Cowboys fan. He also loves to ski, play tennis and golf (I’m trying to learn to spend more time with him).

 After graduating from BYU, Sam and I moved to Sacramento where Sam went to law school.  After law school, we moved to Boston in 2001, where Sam pursued post graduate studies in tax law.  

After graduating in 2002, we moved to Idaho Falls, and after 7 years of struggling with infertility, we had our first miracle, Alexa in 2004.  The twins were our second miracle, and came a short 20 months later.   My children taught me that I can get through hard things, and that I can do hard things. 

When Alexa was 2, and the boys were 11 months old, we moved to Kaysville, and Sam took a job in the legal department at Zions Bank, where he works now. 

 Alexa (9) is in third grade, and my twin boys, Max (7), and Gunnar (7), are both in first grade.  Alexa loves to read, write stories, dance, do makeovers, and play the piano.  The boys love skiing, riding bikes, karate, Legos, Star Wars, The Avengers, Transformers, and of course their video games. 

I love to create: I love to cook, bake, knit, scrapbook, travel, play the piano. I also love to spend time in the outdoors skiing, running, riding my bike, and playing tennis. 

It has been great getting to know Lindsey she is an incredibly supportive wife and a loving Mom. I hope we all take the time to welcome her into our ward and neighborhood.
