Two of Three

These are the initials of one of my very bestest friends in the world.  Today happens to be Katie’s birthday!  Yeah!  You were born today!  I am so glad your mom pushed you out:)  I sent Katie a card with some jewelry in it because I can’t take her shopping or to lunch because she lives in BFC (that’s butt freaking California).  So I sent her a card.  Well she calls me to say thanks for the gift,  that I did a really good job on the jewelry and that I must know her really well.  I starting thinking about how well I really do know this friend of mine.  So in honor of the day your mom went through horrific pain  here is a list of 10 random things I know about Katie.  I hope you enjoy it!

1. In college she decided to go from being “Katie” to just “Kate”. I do not conform and continue to be one of the only people besides her mom that calls her Katie:)
2. She organizes her clothes by color.  How do I know this you may ask? Because we shared a closet and my side looked like crap while her side was a beautiful rainbow.
3. She loves the color blue and her blue eyes get even bluer when she wears blue!  (did I use the word blue enough?)
4. I had to pretty much stalk her in college to be my friend.  She would ignore me and not show up when we were supposed to meet somewhere on campus.  Yet, now she lives thousands of miles away and I talk to her at least once a week. (she usually calls me!)
5. Personally, I think God called Katie to be a nurse.  I have never seen her “in action” per say but I think she has a heart for the sick and suffering and every time I encounter a good nurse I think of her.
6. I am totally responsible for Katie meeting her husband because I stalked her (as I said before) so she finally gave in and came to InterVarsity. Which is where she met the love her life…Andy.
7. She doesn’t like to drive over large bodies of water.  Which I find strange because she flies all the time and is fine but the less than 10 minutes it takes to cross the Mackinac Bridge freaks her out.
8. She does not like the fan to blow on her at night. I figured this one out when she tuned my oscillating fan to non oscillating mode because it was waking her up all night long! (did I mention we were roommates….otherwise this one seems like we are sharing a bed or something. Separate beds people!)
9. At my wedding Katie caught the bouquet and she was the next one of my friends to get engaged.
10. Two days before Katie’s wedding day the ATM machine ate her card.  Why do I know this?  Because she was trying to buy me Chinese food from my favorite place and either her or Andy forgot the pin too many time and the machine was like yeah you’re not Katie Hice so it kept it. I felt awful to cause more stress on an already  stressful event and I still feel bad…please forgive me!

OK that’s 10 random things about Katie.  Happy Birthday!  Thanks to your parents for deciding to procreate for a third time! Hope you have a great day! Love you!
