Lindsay Mahina

1. Where are you from?

I'm from Ontario, California not Canada. It's about 30 minutes east of LA.

2. How many siblings do you have?

I have one sibling, a younger brother, he's actually my hubby's best friend.

3. What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie would have to be either She's The Man or The Holiday. I can pretty much quote them both.

4. Do you play any instruments? Sing?

No unfortunately not. My hubby has all the musical talent. He can literally pick up any instrument and teach himself to play it within 15 minutes.

5. How long have you been married?

We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary on July 30.

6. Do you have any kids?

Nope

7. What is your favorite part of living in Provo/Orem?

Honestly, not a lot. The summers are nice, hiking, boating, swimming, and just enjoying the sunshine. But the snow is too cold for me to handle and it lasts way too long.

8. Do/did you go to school? What degree(s) do you have?

Yes, I graduated from BYU in 2011. I majored in Family Sciences with an emphasis in Housing and Interiors and minored in Business management.

9. What is your favorite thing to do with your girlfriends?

I love to get dressed up and go out or put some sweats on and watch a movie. I'm not picky.

10. What is your favorite food?

My most favorite food is Sushi. I could live off of it.

11. What are you most and least looking forward to about football season?

Not being able to hang out with my hubby anymore. Even after 10 years, I still love hanging out with him all the time.

12. What is one of your most embarrassing moments?

Okay seriously you want me to pick one? Ha Ask my hubby I'm a total klutz. The most embarrassing was probably walking up the RB stairs when it was snowing, I slipped on the snow and fell down like 5 stairs. Some guy tried to grab me to help and I ended up pulling him down with me. Not my classiest moment.

13. If you could live anywhere where would it be?

Either Coronado, California or someplace in Hawaii.

14. What is your favorite article of clothing?

It depends on my mood. I love a good pair of sweats but nothing makes me feel better than a cute pair of heels.

15. How did you and your husband meet?

We grew up in the same stake. But we met at Youth Conference when we were 14. He asked me to dance and we really hit it off. We started hanging out at church dances and instant messaging each other (yeah I know we're old) we were friends until we were 16 and then we started dating. Then I waited for him while he served his mission in Madagascar.

16. What position does your husband play?

He plays Tight End

17. Do you love football? Did that love come before or after your met your husband?

I have always loved football. I grew up in a football family, my dad played in college and my brother plays too. So naturally I love watching it and as my husband would tell you I probably know more about it then most guys do. Haha

Pirates of the Caribbean 1, Remember the Titans, and many chick flicks 

I play the piano. I also play(ed) soccer and basketball back in the day, and I still try to do intramurals. I also love to cook, decorate, snowboard, and go boating. My favorite place in the world is my family’s ranch in Afton, Wyoming (Star Valley). I LOVE the mountains up there and love to go four-wheeling through them and play in the lake. Oh, and I also love fashion and shopping 

How long have you been married?

Just over a year. We got married on June 16, 2012 in the Salt Lake temple.

Nope! Someday 

What is your favorite part of living in Provo/Orem?

All of our married couple friends that live so close! It will be sad when we all go our separate ways.

I am currently getting my Masters in Accounting at BYU. I will graduate this coming April.

What is your favorite thing to do with your girlfriends?

Shopping!! And going out to eat.

What is your favorite food?

Any unique cuisine. Thai, Korean, Indian, etc. I love it all. But I also love a good classic burger once in a while 

What are you most and least looking forward to about football season?

Most: I’m looking forward to being at the opening game in Virginia. I’m also super excited to see how the team does against this challenging schedule!!

Least: Having Skyler gone allll the time.

What is one of your most embarrassing moments?

My embarrassing moments are so bad that they would be just as embarrassing to re-tell… So I am skipping this question. Haha.

What is your favorite article of clothing?

I have this navy/white stripe loose fitting tee that is my go to for everyyything.

How did you and your husband meet?

We met about 10 days after Skyler got home from his mission (yes, he was still pretty awkward). We lived in the same apartment complex—good ol’ Liberty Square—and were in the same ward. Our two apartments became friends immediately, so Sky and I spend a lot of time together. We eventually began dating and got engaged a little over a year later. Two of my roommates also married two of Skyler’s roommates. Craziness.

What position does your husband play?

Wide receiver #17

Do you love football? Did that love come before or after your met your husband?

Yes! I was a bigger BYU fan that Skyler growing up actually. My dad played for BYU back in the day so he instilled in me my love of BYU football from a young age. We came down to a lot of games all growing up and I remember seeing “BYU Wives Club” shirts when I was a young girl—and now I’m a member of it! Haha.
