Miller Family: March 2010

I think the pregnant body is beautiful! Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful that I am happy to be past soon but, before the moment passed (and before the stretch marks set in) I had my pictures taken. Here I am 35 weeks pregnant.

Eve

I am a full time graduate student at the University of Utah in the Cognitive Neurosciences area of the Psychology Department. My interests include aging, memory and environmental determinants of cognitive function. In particular I am interested in how people who spend time in naturalistic or urban settings perform differently on tasks requiring a lot of mental effort. I believe that natural settings can be restorative and therefore good for your ability to think clearly and feel good.

In my personal life I put this research to task by going for lots of hikes and getting outdoors as often as I can. While my pregnancy has slowed me down a bit, I still teach a class of 18, that I take for two field trips in the wilderness. In addition I am an active advocate for wilderness preservation.

Justin

Justin is a busy, busy guy! For his official job, he works as a policy analyst for County Councilwoman Jani Iwomoto. This job requires he knows all the goings on in Salt Lake County including everything from, building projects and ordinances to garbage can placement and individual constituent complaints!

In his free time he has started a political consulting firm (Miller and Risbon) where he takes on candidates running for different public offices and gives them strategy advice, from messaging to GOTV implementation. He and his partner, Megan, began this firm in September, 2009 and already have several canidates. He hopes to grow this firm until it is his main source of income.

Finally, in his other free time he is the Vice President of the Salt Lake County Democrats. He has does wonderful things in his short tenure including introducing "Think Precinct" a grassroots political organizing and action plan successfully used in Colorado to get Barack Obama elected last year!

As you can see I am tremendously proud of Justin! Beyond all of his extracurricular activities, he is a fantastic husband to me. He is great about splitting the housework and cooking. Justin is going to be an amazing Dad who will have lots to teach Little Tuna.
