Sister Spotlight: Olivia Peterson

Olivia was born in South Jordan. She has three older brothers and one older sister, making her the “baby” in the family. She married Kyler Peterson last July, so they are our newlyweds in the ward. Kyler is the manager of T-Mobile in downtown Salt Lake.

She received her medical assistant nursing degree, and is planning on going back to school to receive her Bachelor's degree in nursing, which should take about three years. Before her move to Riverton, she worked at The Huntsman Breast Cancer Clinic.

Volleyball is her favorite sport--she played competitive volleyball in high school--and she still loves to play whenever she gets a chance. In her younger years, she learned how to play the violin. Italian food is her favorite cuisine.

Because her mother is a travel agent who owns her own agency, Olivia and Kyler are able to travel with hotel and other benefits. For instance, to help celebrate her grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, her family went on a Carnival cruise in the Caribbean. She, her husband, and other family members are going to Disneyland this coming week to celebrate her sister’s birthday. I’m thinking that we all need a travel agent mother in our family!

A FUN fact about Olivia: She has always loved Olivia the Pig cartoon character and because of this, on her 12th birthday, her mother gave her a real live Pot-belly Pig! Since her move to Riverton, her pig is staying at her mother’s house.

It was an enjoyable time visiting with Olivia, and we are so fortunate to have her and her husband living in our River Rose ward. Take the time to say hi to her and welcome her into our ward. To know you is to love you, Olivia!
