Heatherly Middleton
My name is Heatherly Middleton and I’m excited about this new
chapter in my life. Currently I’m a junior in FCHD at Utah State University’s
Uintah Basin Regional Campus. I enjoy working with Dr. Law at USU as a research
assistant. The two projects that I’m most proud of is our Marriage Enrichment
Workshop (MEW), and our weekly radio show, “Marriage and the Family –
Empowering Basin Families” on KVEL 920AM or 104.5 FM.
My dream is
that we can empower and learn from each other while strengthening our families.
Yes – yours and mine. My husband Erik and I have been blessed with three
beautiful and fiercely independent children; Alizabeth, Victoria and James.
Personally I’m grateful for all they have patiently taught me and continue to
teach me as I continuously learn and grow. As a family we enjoy outdoor
activities such as tennis, basketball, camping, fishing, hunting (OK, just the
boys), cliff jumping and boating. My husband and I bond over the roar of our
Harleys (yes I ride my own) and view the countryside. Personally I love long
walks, sort runs, yoga, reading, writing and day dreaming (yes I’m an
introvert). I am motivated by relationships and serving others.
Rachel Brown
My name is Rachel R Brown; I’m a senior in FCHD at USU and I’ll be graduating in May. I’m excited to start a new chapter in my life
when I head out to graduate school in the fall, but I don’t yet know where I’ll
be going. I’m not married and I don’t
have kids of my own, but I’ve learned a lot from observing my parents’ marriage
and the relationships and families around me.
While I am interested in many aspects of family life, I hold a special
place in my heart for families formed through Assisted Reproductive Technologies
(ART), being an ART offspring myself.
When I’m not studying, I love to dance, read, ride unicycles and play
with my two guinea pigs.
