Spotlight: Lori Hewett

Spotlight: Lori Hewett
Where were you born and raised-
I was born in Salt Lake City, but moved to Germany at the age of three.  When I was eight years old my family moved to Texas, then New York, then Virginia.  I lived in Virginia from the age of 11 until right before my senior year of high school.  Then my family moved back to Utah. Other than a short internship for my husband in Florida and a year in California, I've been in Utah ever since then. And I think I might finally be getting used to it. Ha!

What brought you to St. George-
My husband took a job in St. George 6 1/2 years ago, so I followed him:)...and I've loved it ever since.

Schooling and career-
My career consists of filling the day with the needs of my children and family.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Utah.  I'm also in the (slow) process of finishing a 2nd Bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology. Hopefully in the next year or so.

How you met your husband-
My husband and I lived in the same apartment complex in Provo.  The Riviera. We met at an 80's themed ward dance. We danced to Michael Jackson and became fast friends. Later, our apartment complex had a competition playoff with a certain popular 2 player video game. Let's just say that I had quite a bit of practice playing against my younger brother during the Christmas break.  It came down to my husband and I playing for the win.  I ended up winning and he bought me dinner as my prize. Now, over 15 years later, I still try to beat him at everything!

Kids (names and ages)-
Ella (11), Foster (9), Harrison (7), Avery (4), Presley (6 months)

Hobbies and favorites-
I enjoy reading, cooking, exercising and going on vacation. I also love to make lists and cross things off of the lists once they're done. Oh, and I love to surprise people.  That's my favorite.

Something unique about you-
There is nothing too unique about me.  I can honestly say that I'm quite ordinary and I'm more content with that than I ever have been before:)
