Meet the Members Monday- Alissa

Hi! My name is Alissa and my husband, Branden, is a 3^rd year Air Force student. I have 2 daughters, a 3 year old and an almost 2 month old.  I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah, which has been my home until 2 years ago when we moved here to go to USUHS. My husband and I met each other through our siblings; my sister is married to his brother. He was living with them to attend school at the University of Utah and it was pretty much love at first sight! We've been married for 5 years now and are loving life.

I’m a stay at home mom and slowly adjusting to having 2 kids. So far I've managed to get us all dressed and fed every day so we’re doing well. I love to bake, sing, read, decorate and re-do furniture. I haven’t finished any furniture projects lately but I’m sure I’ll find something fun to paint or sew soon. 

Joining the military has been quite the adventure for my family! We've loved living in Maryland and having new places to visit. We’ve also seen a lot of the country in the past year as we followed Branden around for rotations. We drove from Maryland to Jacksonville, FL, where we enjoyed a mild winter, beaches and gators. Our next location was Omaha, NE, where we enjoyed family, great steak and snow. It was fun to drive all over and visit states we've never been to before but we’re happily taking a break from travel for now.

I've loved being a part of SSC for the last 2 years and I’m excited to continue attending the activities and making new friends. I’m currently working as the SSC secretary so I’m responsible for all those emails you get each month. If you ever have questions about the area or life at USU, or if you just need a friend please email usustudentspousesclub@gmail.com, I’d love to help you in any way!
