Welcome to Preston & JaimiLyn!  Preston and JaimiLynn Loveland recently moved into their home on Box Elder (Widdison’s former home). JaimiLyn went to high school in Heber City where she loved playing soccer and Preston did high school in Richmond Virginia where he enjoyed basketball, tennis and track. (In fact, Preston would love to play some pick-up basketball if anyone is interested.) After serving a mission in Barcelona Spain, Preston met JaimiLyn at BYU. Preston strategically sat down at JaimiLyn’s table to study and the rest is history. JaimiLyn and Preston were married three years ago and both just graduated from college in April. JaimiLyn is a nurse at Primary Children’s Hospital and Preston is in software development at Zions Bank. Preston loves that JaimiLyn is kind, easy to get along with, and makes friends easily.  JaimiLyn loves that Preston is so fun, smart, hard-working, and loves everyone. Preston believes it’s important to work hard, believe in yourself, and treat others with genuine respect. JaimiLyn believes it’s important to trust God and try to be happy where you are now, rather than waiting for the ideal situation. They are super excited to live in the mountains and look forward to getting to know everyone. Welcome to the neighborhood!  We're thrilled you are here!!

Spotlight on Maggie, Grayce & Domino. McGee, Princess Domino, and Grayce Mae Wigglebottom have allowed Pam and Pete Robbins be their humans. They all live at 6426 Gordon Creek Circle. All three are KSL finds (not Pam and Pete). Grayce actually chose Pam and Pete by reaching out her paw to them. She loves to climb up high and watch over her domain. Domino is 9 and she is the Princess. What she says goes. Pete is her favorite human, which means he can usually pet her and she’ll sit on his lap sometimes. She’s the most talkative of the group, but again, mostly with Pete. Maggie is a 2 1/2 year old Staffordshire Terrier. She’s a lovable, sweet dog who likes to be touching her people whenever she can. They found her when she was 13 weeks old, and feel they were led to her by Cozmo, their little dog who had died. Cozmo had high anxiety and other special needs, and he knew Maggie had special needs too, and that Pam and Pete would take good care of her. Maggie was anxious about cats and got car sick every time at first. And she was anxious about getting into her harness for walks even though she really wanted to go on walks. Pam never forced her harness on her, and instead, taught her that if she wanted to go for a walk, she needed to put her head in the harness. Maggie loves to chase turkeys until they’re all up in the trees! When she heard Pam telling me this story, she recognized the word “turkey” and ran to look for them out the window! Maggie loves her food treats and always plays with them before eating. She’s also ticklish and gets a certain “smile” on her face when someone scratches her tickle spot. The three are all friends, and happily, Domino sometimes lets them all snuggle on the same chair with their humans.

A Little History: Did You Know? For a short time in the early days, Mountain Green was known as Deserter Point. This monument entitled, "Encounter at Mountain Green or Deserter Point," is located at the Mountain Green West Bound I-84 Rest Area.
