Born and raised- Sarah was born in Provo, Utah. She is the 2nd oldest of 7 children. She and her family moved to Northern Cali when she was 2 and lived all over the state, mainly in Fairfield and Orange County. Her dad does governement construction, so they moved a lot. She also lived a while Missouri and Washington State. Her family moved to Kanab when she was 10, and she lived there until she graduated high school at 16.
What brought you to St. George- Sarah has always loved St. George. Being 90 minutes from Kanab, she came here all the time with friend, and knew this was where she wanted to be. She had a 4 year full scholarship to SUU but decided to switch to Dixie at the last minute. Cody says it was because of him (he might be a little right, ha!) She LOVES it here and never wants to leave. She and Cody moved to Missouri for a year right after they were married, and they couldn't get back soon enough.
Schooling and career- Sarah received her Associate's Degree from Dixie College and her Bachelor's Degree from Utah State University in Psychology. (She did their extension courses through Dixie). She worked as a paralegal for 10 years. When they started a family, she didn't want to work out of the home any more, so she taught herself Photoshop, she and Cody (he's a computer programmer and web-designer) started up a graphic design business- FotoTale Designs. She specializes in photoshop templates for photographers; Christmas cards, Baby Announcements, Album design, etc. She loves it, and it keeps her really busy.
How you met your husband- Sarah and Cody met their last year in high school. They were both sterling scholars for their schools. (Sarah, Kanab and Cody, Milford). The regional competition was at SUU. Cody was in Science and Sarah was in Social Science. They were both the first interviews of the day for their categories. Their interview rooms were right next to each other. When they both showed up about 20 minutes early, they just got to talking and hit it off. There was about 8 hours between their interviews and the awards dinner. She had driven her car to Cedar and Cody had come on the bus. He offered to be her friend that day (ha, funny story!)... and he's been her best friend ever since. ;)
Kids (names and ages)- Rylee- 7 and Ryan- 4
Hobbie and favorites- Sarah likes hiking, boating, crafting, scrapbooking, photography, baking, movies, books, hanging out with friends (She LOVES girl's nights!), shopping and pedis with her daughter.
Something unique about you- About 2 years ago, she won the Big Deal on the TV game show Let's Make a Deal. She won a BMW motorcycle and a trip to Rome!
