Michelle's Story
Life
After shuffling around the country (Glastonbury, Ct., Aspen, Co., Philadelphia, PA), and one beautiful daughter later (Lily is 10yrs), I decided to come to the place I've lived the longest, Utah. I have settled in Logan, Utah where my brother John and his family have resided for the past 8 yrs. I am an Academic Advisor with Utah State University following a career in social work for many years. I'm also going to grad school p/t. I still manage to take time to enjoy the outdoors. I'm an avid mtn. biker, cross county skier, hiker and runner. My latest goal is to do a 1/2 marathon, and eventually a full marathon. Keep your fingers crossed! In July 07, we moved into a 105 yr. old house in the Logan historic district. My first night there, the showerhead came off the wall, smacked me in the face and busted my lip. Shortly thereafter, I discovered my basement was full of hobo spiders. Things have settled down a little but it is a never ending project. My folks have recently moved to Logan from TN. so for the first time in many years my family is all in close proximity to one another.
