Kate Friesen:  

t I love most about singing ... it becomes my truest form of communication.” -Josh Groban ~There is so much in the world for all of us if we only have the eyes to see it, and the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to ourselves - so much in men and women, so much in art and literature, so much everywhere in which to delight and for which to be thankful. - Anne of the Island ~Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage, and wisdom moves the world. -Ammon Hennacy". More about Kate:"hmmmm. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I hail from the wilds of South Dakota (so delicately put by one of my friends NOT from SoDak). I love swings. I'm a terrible traveller. I'm a musical theatre fanatic. I love being outside, but I don't like bugs or getting sweaty. I love meeting new people. I'm a city girl at heart, but am finding out that I appreciate small-town life more and more. I'm easily addicted to haircuts and expensive coffee. I have the tendency to worry A LOT. I am working on my patience. I love dark chocolate. I'm not afraid of taking charge, but I hate making decisions. I do not appreciate cancer jokes, ever. I do a lot of praying. I have a lot of amazing people in my life. I hate violence passionately and think that a lot of this world's problems could be solved around a table with a cup of coffee and a carton of Haagen-Dazs. I enjoy helping people less fortunate than myself. I have a difficult time saying no when I'm already too busy. I LOVE babies. I want a porch on my house when I grow up, a big one. And columns and a balcony. I cannot read lying down, guaranteed to fall asleep. I am a dual citizen. I cry easily. I am just a little bit of a diva, which was absolutely necessary to get me through high school. I like UNsweetened iced tea. I frequently stay up way too late with a good book (although, not frequently enough since I've been at school :D). I adapt well. I'm typically not afraid of new situations and confident in myself and my people skills, but have a lot of silly fears. I talk to myself. Slow computers make me mad, but people who can fix them for free make me VERY happy. I am learning to cook, although being at college has hindered that somewhat. I love hymn sings. I think it is absolutely essential to understand the people we live and work with, and the world in which we live.".
