Katie's Story

I want to be rememeber as being just me, crazy katie... just me. I always wanted to be a mother when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were correct. I do love to yell alot. only problem it gives me a headache... soooo... to relax... it is sitting in a nice hot tubby with a glass of vino talking to the one and only love of my life that has stuck by me through thick and thin for almost 25 years now he completes me :) Went off campus just out by that old pulp wood place on a drit road and broke open a few bottles of Champaign the last days of school my senior year with a few seniors and drank a glass and went back to school. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a good workers, good hours, and be the boss to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My Hero was always my father My insiration came from my mother and father one for the ability to make it through tuff times in being gone from each other and able to keep a family together but yet apart being in the military is a hard life but it can be done as it has been done with them as family it has been done with my own 22 years and now my husband is retired and we are heading back to alabama and i can so not wait. I have lived in Florida, California, Arkansas, Virginia, Alabama, Texas, Germany, England, Louisiana, Italy, and my heart has lived in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Kuwait. I was a Military Brat and a Military Spouse. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Mitsy Owens, because she was a friend i never really got to say goodbye to when i left virginia because we had been at odds with each other before i left. i love football. hanging on the porch with my man talking and can not wait to start a new life in bama on our 40 acres my man is there now while i am here in louisiana trying to rent our house here. ...Expand for more
it will all be good can not wait. I enjoy my plants in doors and out. my pets are my babies now my girls are all grown up now and have things to do them selves... sigh... but i know they love me and thats the bomb :) my girls are my passion. "obsession" always thought i would be in sturkie alabama but little texas is where my feet got planted and it is all ours well the banks to for now ugh but that will not take long to get that out the way if things go the way we plan... other than that all has been pretty much what the good lord intended :) If I could improve my home, I'd remodel only the outside and add on a deck. My dream home would be a castle :). i have 2 daughters. you do live your life all over again though your children no matter if it was good or bad, happy or sad... it all comes with the territory i would love to see ms lay. i think she was one of the best teachers i ever had. she took no BS and she also knew you had to have "her" to graduate from high school. one of those get over it situations that everyone will have to encounter in a life time no matter if in high school or after!!! so why not just learn it early!!! If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to the church, 20% i would save, then spend the rest on clearing off some of our land and building another house my castle :). i am truly happy now. in little texas collecting my unemployment until july working our land with my man :) My current age is 47. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be.... i dont remember what i thought at 12 my mother, even my grandmothers were never really old at heart so age never mattered to me and never thought about age. I was so completely clueless. not working as of right now... only on our land and setting it up and making it look nice... i want to one day be my own boss and sell my own stuff even if it is junk...
