Who Is Katie?

Welcome everyone!

You're here, so you must be curious who this chick thinks she is.

Here is what I am certain about:

• I am 28
• I became a Mrs. in October 2012
• My handsome husband's name is Mike
• Mike is from Texas and is an alum of FSU
• I am a twice-over Purdue graduate (Boiler up!)
• My first degree was in Creative Writing, my second in Veterinary Technology
• In February 2013, my husband and I bought our first home
• Crazy cat lady doesn't even begin to describe me
• I currently have four cats and one dog
• I am a stroke survivor
• I lived in the same town in Indiana until I was 14. I then moved to The Netherlands for 2.5 years, only to return back to the same town in Indiana
• Since then, I lived in West Lafayette (Purdue) for nearly 6 years, followed by a small town outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana, then Maryland Heights, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis), and now back in my hometown.
• I have been overweight since I was in 3rd grade
• My heaviest was 200lbs in 8th grade
• I currently weigh 175lbs
• My driver's license says I'm 5'8", but really I think I'm closer to 5'9" or 5'10"
• This helps me carry my weight well
• When Top 40 music comes on the radio, I tend to act like I'm 21 again
• Usually you can find me listening to Country music
• I have one awesome brother 
• He is a chiropractor, is married to a wonderful woman, and has the cutest son ever
• Eating healthy is so hard for me
• Emotional/bored eating is was kind of my thing...
• My journey towards becoming healthier has failed so many times, however this time I am in it to win it!
