My newest obsession: pinterest.com.
I can't tell you how many times I run across pictures of things that I want to save but have no idea where to put them. Not to over do it but...pinterest has changed my life. No I'm not a home owner. I'm not married, or engaged. I'm not redoing my bedroom or making my own clothes and I do not have my own classroom yet. With that said, one day I hope to be doing all of these things and now I can save all of the awesome pictures and ideas I see for down the road when I need them. I swear, by the time I buy a house I'll have a picture in mind for every room in the house. Really, it's addicting.
That is all. Good night friends!

Well here goes nothing...
It has been months, maybe even years since I've wanted to start my very own blog. Every time I try to start writing I end up feeling overwhelmed and give up before I start. I have written and deleted the first sentence of this first entry countless times. I feel like my mind is running a mile a minute trying to figure out what to write about next. I've decided that no matter how long I wait or how many ideas I come up with, this first entry isn't going to be easy! I guess I'll start off my telling you all a little bit about me...
My name is Katie and I grew up in a loving family of four in southeast Michigan. My Mom is the best one around...I know everyone says it but I see more of my Mom in me each and every day. She's a writer actually (maybe I should have asked her for some blog advice...). My Dad is my hero. He has been through so much and still has the most positive outlook on life. Zach is my (not so little anymore) little brother. He is 15 and just ending his first year of high school. The six year age gap between us has never stood in our way. We may fight but at the end of the day he's always asking me for homework help, teaching me how to fish, or asking for a ride to the movies. We also have our 14 year old westie, Max. He is definitely an old man but we love him... he has been a part of our family for practically as long as Zach has!
I moved to Grand Rapids to attend Grand Valley State back in 2008. Now as I approch my senior year of college, it's hard to imagine my life any differently. I miss my family and friends back on the eastside of the state each and every single day but moving away was the best thing for me. I learned a lot about myself, my friends, and growing up when I moved out. When I decided to go to Grand Valley I wasn't exactly sure why I chose to move here. Luckily after living here for three years, it all makes sense- I love it here! The west side of Michigan is SO much different than back home. Everyone is so much more laid back over here. I miss the hectic days back home but I must admit, it is a nice change. I love being 20 minutes away from Lake Michigan. I can go there on a Tuesday night to walk the beach, see the sunset and be home in time to get a good night's sleep before work the best day. It's great.
If I hadn't chosen Grand Valley, I would have never met Bryan. Bryan is the boyfriend I was always hoping I would find. He can make me laugh, keeps me on my toes, convinces me to try new things, and is my best friend. To say it simply, I'm crazy about him :).
What else is there to say really...well here is me in a nut shell:
What else is there to say really...well here is me in a nut shell:
My name is Katie, Katherine really- I was named after my great grandma.
I would be lost without my family.
Bryan is the best boyfriend in the entire world and I love him very, very much.
My friends mean the absolute world to me even if I don't get to see some of them very often.
I danced for 18 years now and it will forever be a part of my life.
Grew up in southeast Michigan and my heart will always belong there.
Been raised as a Christian & my faith is important to me.
I'm a math major at GVSU and have plans to be an elementary school teacher.
Since I was raised in Hockeytown- I love my Detroit Red Wings...and now that I'm in GR, I love the Griffins too. Grand Rapids is definitely beautiful.
Also a Tigers fan- I miss being able to go to tons of their games every summer growing up...
I believe everything happens for a reason and as cheesy as it is, I'm living every day to its fullest because I know what's meant to be will find its way.
I love life but hate change & the idea of growing up.
I'm all about giving it all you've got.
That's it for now.
