Stephanie Oxborrow

Stephanie is currently serving as the 1st counselor in the Young Women's presidency. Professionally she has experience in online marketing and accounting. Right now she is still doing a little of that from home but spends most of her time corralling her "little monster" :)

She met her husband Marc out shooting rabbits in the Utah desert. They were actually both interested in each other's roommates at the time, but in the end chose each other. Marc proposed at a picnic in the mountains. Together they have one son named Karsten who is 15 months old. Their favorite things to do as a family are play games and eat!

Stephanie loves the smell of anything christmasy and her guilty pleasure t.v. show is NCIS.  If she has 30 minutes of spare time she likes to sleep or look at pictures, maybe write a blog post. She's not a big fan of re watching movies but does enjoy Pride and Prejudice about once a year. Her favorite foods are Steak with shrimp in garlic butter sauce, mashed potatoes, perfectly steamed broccoli, yummy bread, and cheesecake for dessert.

She enjoys playing the piano and hopes to one day own one of her own so she can get better. She likes playing lacrosse but can't find anyone to play with her so if you know how you'd better let her know! She also likes to read and would highly recommend the Harry Potter series, The Work and the Glory series by Gerald Lund, and Created for Greater Things by Jeffery R. Holland.

If Stephanie had a theme song it would be the theme from J.A.G. and of all fictional characters would choose to be Harry Potter so she could "aparate" places and magically clean everything up. She would also accept having a maid come every day for free. If she won a million dollars she would buy a house, a practical reliable car, savings accounts for her kid(s) and create a travel fund.

A perfect day for Stephanie would be waking up already showered dressed and ready to go then spending all day at the beach without getting sunburned.

Sami is serving as the Gospel Essentials teacher in our ward along with her husband. She is also a certified speech pathologist but is currently spending her time preparing to be a first-time mama!

 

She met her husband Colt when he moved into her apartment complex and they were in the same ward for the summer. She spent all summer trying to figure out how to get him to kiss her/muster up the courage to kiss him first. 18 months later he proposed up the Provo canyon. They went for a walk along the river. When they came around a bend, all of a sudden there were red roses everywhere! Sami followed the trail of roses and petals to a big white box. When she opened it, red and white balloons flew out and got stuck in the trees. When she turned around, Colt got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. Then they wrote wishes for their marriage on two of the balloons and sent them up into the sky (His sisters helped him think of the idea). They are now expecting their first child, a son, on January 18th!!

 

Sami loves tulips and eating at café Rio. She also enjoys running, playing sports (especially soccer and basketball), singing,  playing the guitar, and drawing   When Sami has 30 minutes of free time she wishes she could say she spends it doing something cool or productive, but realistically, she would probably just get on Facebook.

 

She is a big movie/tv watcher.  The movie 27 dresses can seriously not be watched enough times. She went through a phase where she watched it almost every day even if it was just in the background. Her guilty pleasure tv shows are My Big Redneck Vacation and the Bachelor/Bachelorette no matter how much it makes her cringe. She also likes to read and would highly recommend reading "The Book Thief" and Harry Potter which she has re-read many times because it reminds her of her childhood. Of all the fictional characters she would choose to be Anne of Green Gables because she has always wanted red hair.

 

Sami's favorite hymn is "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul". She is also inspired by the scripture John 14:27 which says "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
