Spotlight: Angela Knight

Where were you born and raised?  In Annabella, Utah (very small town near Richfield)

What brought you to St. George?  We have been in St George for 10 years now.  Our love for St George and my husbands job brought us here.


Where did you go to college? What degree did you earn? What have you done since then?

I attended Snow college after High School and then went to cosmetology school and worked as a hairstylist for about 5 years until my first daughter was born.  I have also taken classes at Dixie High and Mohave college working towards prerequisites for dental hygiene. After our third daughter, I decided to take a break from my schooling and focus on my family!


How did you meet your husband? How long have you been together?
I met my husband by luck!  I asked a mutual friend of ours to set me up with his friend who I thought was super cute without knowing his name.  Well. he set me up with the wrong friend, but I decided to go out with this guy anyway.  We hit it off immediately and have been in love ever since!  The "wrong " guy ended up being  Mr. right!  We met for the first time on Valentines day 16 years ago.
The only time we have been apart since that day was when Tyler served a mission.  We wrote the entire time and were married 3 months after he returned home.

What are the names and ages of your children? Alexa 9. Makenna 4, Alyvia (aka: Lilly) 3


What are your hobbies and favorite things to do?
 I love going to yard sales, thrift shops and antique stores and would rather spend a day "treasure" hunting thrift stores than at the mall.
I also REALLY, I mean REALLLLLY  love food and spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make any recipe healthy and delicious.  Fact:  I DO NOT like to cook, but I do a lot of it trying to make recipes as healthy and yummy as possible. It's not uncommon for my family to ask what strange thing I added to their food.  (deceptively delicious!)
Fact: I may or may not have a slight problem with drinking Pepsi. I can't help it,  It makes me happy:)

Another thing that consumes an absurd amount of my time is studying emergency preparedness and food storage.  I started canning my own food this year and cannot wait to get a garden growing this spring so that I can bottle up all of its deliciousness!

What is something unique about you? I love Christmas movies and watch them all year round, even in the summer.
Also, If you come in my house you will see my huge display of vintage, colorful dishes.  I often hear, "oh, my grandma/mom had those in their kitchen back in the 50's.  My hubby calls it the "museum".

I secretly wish I lived on a farm, and since that's not going to happen, I am trying to convince my hubby that we at least need chickens in our backyard.
