Birthday: December 25

I first met Katie when we went on a trip to Lagoon and we hit it off almost immediately. Katie and I are so different yet so similar in our tastes. She is the one who introduced me to Hagermann's and got me totally addicted to their delicious sandwiches and cookies, I love Sister Hazel since she introduced them to me, we both love cherry limeades and crazy British chick flicks. Plus no one else shares my love of board games like Katie does.

We have had many a wild adventure. Whenever I want to play a good practical joke Katie is my accomplice and can always be counted on to have a bucket of sidewalk chalk which we have used to draw chalk outlines and love notes. We took pictures of people's butts for a pay back to Matt for a practical joke. We have stayed up way too late playing Animal Crossing and watching loads of movies. No one else truly appreciates British sarcastic humor like she does!

Kate is very artistic and loves to be creative from her blog to her shoeboxes. I remember one night with a bunch of cut up magazines and some glue and creating a masterpiece. She is the first one I enjoy sharing my new layouts and designs with because I can always count on honest feedback and opinions. We also have explored various locations through out the valley with our cameras. We enjoy going to the tulip festival at Thanksgiving point together taking pictures of the flowers and each other.

Katie is one who really looks deeply at individuals and sees others in ways that many would not. She listens when I am having a rough day and has been there many times when I am struggling. She is the one who after being rejected went with me at 1:00 in the morning to the only open restaurant we could find to have some time away. I love Katie very much and am so grateful for her and her friendship.
