Sister Spotlight-Charise Tippets
I was born in Las Vegas
but was raised in Cedar City. My parents moved there when I was a baby to
go to school and are still there. I am the oldest of 10 - 6 sisters, 3
brothers. After high school I moved to Salt Lake where I attended the LDS
Business College and got my degree in Business Management. After
graduating I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I moved to LA to be a
nanny. I lived in Canoga Park in the Valley (when Valley girls were
totally popular for sure). I moved to Las Vegas to resume schooling in
Hotel/Restaurant Management and also worked as a nanny. That didn't work
as planned so I moved back to Cedar City the summer of 1986.
The first time I saw Ty
he was teaching Sunday School in the Young Adult Ward. I was so
impressed! I still remember the lesson was on Obedience. I didn't
see him until later in the fall on campus. I found out that he worked for
the forest service and was fighting fires most of the summer until school
started. That was the only week he was in Cedar all summer. Our
first date was Jan. 26th and we were married June 26th 1987.
Ty was accepted into
the MBA program in Oregon so I moved up in August and found a job and apartment
while he was fighting fires. We were married for 4 months before we lived
in the same place. He completed a two year program in one year and we
moved to Las Vegas. By this time I was 7 months pregnant (not a good time
to move to Vegas) and our oldest, Sierra was born in the same hospital I was, November
1988. Ty's parents were called to Jamaica in August of 1989 and we moved
to Washington to take care of their home. Our son was born in October
1990 and when they returned in Feb. 1991 we bought a house in the same
neighborhood.
Our next three
daughters were born while living there. Cheyenne November 1994 (I was serving
as Relief Society President and we had 13 babies in the ward that year)
Savannah March 1997, Sheridan November 2000. Ty's parents moved in with
us in 1997 (we had a basement apartment) and by 2001 we knew we need more
space. We moved out here to Little Valley June of 2002 (I was 6 months pregnant
with our sixth child, I don't have great timing or planning apparently).
Codi was born in
October 2002. Our two oldest are now married and Cheyenne is getting
married March 6th. I went back to work in August of 2012 at George Washington
Academy to help pay for the two weddings that we had that fall. In January of
2013 Ty's mom passed away and his employment changed to not. I started
working for Katering Koncepts in April 2013 and still work at both
places. I LOVE both jobs for the different challenges and opportunities. I
have learned so much.
My favorite restaurants are
Pizza/Pasta Factory and Paula’s Mexican Restaurant.
My hobbies are Reading and
Crocheting.
I don't have any musical
abilities or talent but I play a great radio (Pandora). My shuffle list
includes the Eagles, America, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryon,
Jason Aldean, Celtic Thunder, Loreena McKennitt, Yani, and anything DISNEY.
I love history and
have always wanted to go to England and Europe. Sheridan and I have a
trip planned for March 2016 with a group led by our own Laura Vanderslice.
My favorite vacation was a
Mexican Rivera Cruise with the whole family plus Ty's sister Jody and
mom. Swimming with dolphins in Acapulco, Zip Lines in Puerto Viarta, and
snorkeling in Cabo. Grandma loved the dolphins!
I am a list maker and an
organizer but I’m not really very fun. I would rather clean the garage
than go to the lake. I would rather work inside than out. Plants
don't respond well to me but I grow amazing weeds.
I have always wanted to be
able to sing, hopefully in the next life.
I am been able to serve in
the Primary, Cub Scouting program, and Relief Society organizations.
I am so grateful to live in
this country. With all of its problems and challenges it is still the
best in the world.
