Hello and welcome. It is I, Katie. It has been far too long since I have posted, but guess what. I have been up to stuff! Crazy I know! It was slow going, and nothing new, and then BAM! Life happened.
It all started around August, the month I was alone. And yet I realized that was not how the story goes. Cole left and went to school in Texas for TDY (Temporary Duty), you should know being in the military that EVERYTHING is an acronym when someone tells me something and I don't know what it is I just nod. So with Cole gone I was alone, I haven't really been a people person while I have been here, we tend to keep to ourselves. That was no longer an option for me however.
I was like the groundhog coming out on the 2nd of February, and it was crazy sunny outside. The world was blinding! I just wanted to crawl back into my hole and watch Netflix. I was invited to FHE (Family Home Evening) there was a great gospel lesson, fun games, and treats. OOOOOoooohhhh the treats! I have to say I really liked FHE and this family was totally awesome! Invited me to dinner, let me hang out so I was never home alone, by the end of the month I was pretty much adopted into the family. Okay I need to pause for a moments, for when I wrote about treats one in particular came to mind, and it was the CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!!! Oh it was so delicious. It was like all the dreams I never knew I had came true. I may have been crying.
Alright back to story.
Throughout the month I was taken care of by many of the people in my ward. I think the best part about that month was the fact that I was able to speak to Cole EVERY SINGLE DAY! Thank goodness for technology!
Also while Cole was away I was practicing. For what? A TALENT SHOW! I am sure you are asking yourself which one. Katie is so immensely talented which one did she choose? Was it her pig noises, burping the ABCs, her dancing skills (that she thinks she has), NO! It was my singing of course! I hadn't sung in such a long time so it was great to get back on the stage!
By the time Cole arrived home, we celebrated his birthday, with an Xbox of course. The weekend after he got home was the big day. Talent show day. I will tell you now I did not win. But I did get 20 bucks for participating. Let me know what you think:

Life slowed down a bit after that, but there are great things coming. A few weeks ago I started teaching voice lessons, and it has been great! I actually love it!
Also this November I will be taking on the role of Tracy from Hairspray in an upcoming Musical Review. Hopefully you will be hearing a lot more from me!
Cole says hi.
