Lindsey (Haltinner) Ingebretsen

As the New Year began I was thinking back on how amazing and crazy the past Decade has been. I would venture to say it was probably the most life changing Decade I will ever see. I feel blessed to have accomplished the things I have.

After graduation from Davis High School I started college at Weber State University, studying Social Work and Spanish. In the spring of 2002 I met my husband Tom Ingebretsen at a singles dance and after only 3 weeks we were engaged. Everyone thought we were CRAZY, but in August of 2002 we were married in the Bountiful, Utah LDS Temple. We spent our first year of marriage living by Brighton High School where I was a Dental Assistant and trying to finish up school. Tom was working for a 5 Buck Pizza down in Sandy and became good friends with the owner. In the spring of 2003 after his father passed away suddenly, we decided to look into opening a store of our own. With help from the Sandy Owner, we opened our first location in November of 2003 and now own 3 locations in Davis and Weber County. They keep us VERY busy, but we love being self-employed.

In 2004 we purchased our home right off of Antelope Drive in Clearfield. I love being close to where I grew up and we often visit the holiday activities in Kaysville. We love our neighborhood and plan to stay in the Davis County area for many years to come.

In May of 2005 we welcomed our first son Emersen(Emery) Jay Ingebretsen into our home. He is such a fun, happy, little ball of energy! I still can't believe that we are old enough to have a child going into Kindergarten! Emery loves art, music and swimming. He loves to play with his friends and is very social!

One year later in May of 2006 I finally graduated from Weber State with a BS degree in Social Work and Family Studies ( I gave up on Spanish). It was a lot of work to finish while pregnant and with a brand new baby, but I am so glad I finally did it! I currently work from home 3 nights a week, and spend most of my time being a full time Mom.

In April of 2008 we welcomed our second son Kaycen Robert Ingebretsen into the family. He is such a sweet little guy and we just love him to pieces. He is very different from his brother, and I sometimes wonder how the two came from the same parents! He is quiet and much more laid back. He loves to follow his brother around and do everything that Emery does. Having two boys has been so much fun!

As a family we love to travel, watch movies, listen to music and play games. We enjoy spending time together and try to enjoy every minute of our little boys because we know how quickly time flies! In my spare time (when there is any spare time) I love to do anything crafty as well as going out to eat and shopping! I look forward to Saturday Date Nights with my Husband and finding time for myself somewhere in there as well!

I really am amazed at the paths my life has taken. I never imagined I would be where I am today, but I love every minute of it. I am glad that I have been able to keep in touch with many of my Davis High friends and am thankful to Amanda for helping me reconnect with several more.
