My first blog post… oh my
Well this is embarrassing. Me. Writing a blog. I barely passed English in high school. Not because I didn’t like to read, I did. Not because I couldn’t write, I could. I just could not be bothered, it was not important to me. I was never a super student, that role went to my siblings. I was just me. In art school I met this smart, talented, and cute boy from Iowa. We fell in like, then fell in love. We grew up together, got married, and grew up some more. We were pretty darn adorable (image below). The best thing he ever did for me was tell me he thought I was smart. It was a gift. It gave me confidence. It gave me hope. It gave me the permission to reach for the unreachable. Sometimes that’s all a person needs, someone to cheer them on. He believed in me so now I write. I hope you enjoy my observations, celebrations, rants, and swooning.
Swooning 
I still think you are smart. I think it even more now.

Reading your blog and your positive Facebook posts delights me to no end, Kat. Knowing that I saw the two of you come together and knowing that you’re still together to this day and have raised a wonderful family just helps to define for me what life and love are all about. As the Aussies say, “good on ya”. 😉
