Spotlight: Lyndsey Wade



Lyndsey Wade grew up in Orangeville, Utah. Orangeville is near Price (yes, I had to ask). Her mom and step dad still lives there. She attended and graduated Emery High School. During high school she worked at a pizza place and a video store. She focused on school and mostly hung out with friends. Since she lived in a small town they had to be creative with what they did. They had bon fires, went four-wheeling, trips to the mountains and cliff diving at the lake. 
After high school Lyndsey attended a year at The College of Eastern Utah and worked at a gas station. She then transferred up to Utah State and lived with her grandma for a year. She then moved on to Bridgerland, a Tech school, and earn her CNA. She worked for a couple of years at an assisted living center. She then went back to Briderland and studied to be a dental assistant, which she never ended up using. 
During her time at CEU (College of Eastern Utah) her roommate introduced Lyndsey to a newly returned missionary, Derek Wade. They hit it right off and they both knew that they were going to get married. They ended up dating for a year and half. During this time Lyndsey spent the summer in Connecticut as a nanny. Derek and Lyndsey didn’t let a day go by without talking on the phone. They finally got engaged in March of 2003 and were married in the Logan Temple that July. 
As a newly married couple they moved to Brigham City. Lyndsey commuted and worked in Logan and Derek worked and went to school in Riverdale. Lyndsey eventually found a job at Getaway Today in Ogden. During this time the Wades moved to Clinton and they had their first son, Hayden. Lyndsey was fortunate enough that she was able to leave her job and be a stay at home mom. A couple of years later they welcomed their second son, Maddax, to the family. 
They moved again, but they stayed in Clinton. There they had Zander and Nixon. June 2013 they moved here, into our ward and just recently they welcomed their 5th son, Jasper. 
The Wade family loves sports, especially RSL and the Utah State Aggies football. They have season tickets to both. They love to travel to see their Aggie’s play. This past fall they even travelled to Seattle to watch them play. 
Lyndsey enjoys a good book and set an impressive goal to read 100 books in the year 2015. She achieved her goal with 2 days to spare. 
Lyndsey loves this neighborhood. She has friendly neighbors and wonderful neighbor kids for her children to play with. She loves her calling working on the Relief Society Committee and just started serving on the Stake’s sports committee. We are so lucky to have Lyndsey here in our ward. She is so thoughtful and giving. I’m so grateful to call her my neighbor and friend.
