Valerie & Dallas Knowlton

Valerie, our oldest daughter graduated in 2005 from Union High. She was Sterling Scholar for Trade and Tech. For her project she made a China hutch out of Maple and it is in our kitchen dining room. She loved her cabinetry class at the UBATC. Her instructor was the best and she learned so much. A cabinet maker came over to our house a few weeks ago and told me that my daughter really had a gift in making furniture and he had been in the business over 20 years. When Val graduated, she headed to Orem and lived with my sister in Highland and attended UVSC in Orem. She loved school and liked to visit Aunt Susan who teaches nursing classes there. About November 2005, we find out that she has met someone on the internet. My sister and I wasn't to crazy about this and she has a date with this person. Since Valerie was living with my sister Adele, and Valerie had a date with this person, she told Valerie that she needed to stay in the Orem area and that she had to meet this person. Well, the rest is history and Valerie was engaged in February of 2006 and we have our first wedding June 22, 2006. It was hard on Mom because this was the first wedding in the family and her first daughter leaving. They got married in the Salt Lake Temple.
They are going on three years of marriage this June and have a cute home in Clearfield Utah where they are both attending Weber State University and both are working.
