Katie


Katie has waited very patiently for this post. When the idea of a post for her was thrown out, she expressed some desire to see it in the next couple of hours. Unfortunately, those hours turned into weeks. Sorry Katie.
I'm not going to lie. It's hard to write about Katie because she can be summed up in five short letters: BSNRN. The ratio of those letters to other words in a conversation with Katie is 1:2. I must say though, with such a high ratio, she does a fantastic job choosing her other words and letters so that you don't notice them too much.
Katie's schedule is a little unconventional. Like many nurses, she has to throw in her share of moonlit hours at the hospital. Occasionally, that schedule has been followed immediately by church or some other event that she goes to, and people consistently comment on her being "out of it." You would be too. By the way, if the thought crossed your mind, no, she doesn't have a hang over.
Katie has a knack for loving people. She has occasionally related stories of kids she has met at Primary Children's or on humanitarian trips that are touching, both in terms of the children's trials, and in terms of her apparent care for them.
In conclusion, Katie is straightforward. I didn't know that until I recently saw a film of her speed dating. Speed dating is an interesting enough concept to me, but Katie removed any question marks about her thoughts about it by wearing a wedding veil. Awesome... awesome.
