Happy Birthday Kate


I moved to Utah to be with Kate while our husbands were deployed. This girl has been my rock! I met her in Alaska in 2006. We were at church and our kids (Madi and Aidan who are 4 months apart) were crabby so we were both out in the hallway. Never introduced ourselves just talked about our kids, cuz they were so little at the time!! So the next day I have a message on my myspace page and its from a girl Kate. Im like I don't know any Kates.. And she was like I hope this isnt weird but I am having a pampered chef party tomorrow night if you wanna come. I had just moved back up there and didn't know anyone so I was like sure why not!! And the rest is history!! So did we meet on myspace or at church?!? We usually say myspace cuz people laugh!! hahaha. I think its awesome. This girl is my rock. She has helped me so many things. Being away from my family is the hardest thing. I moved to Alaska while Jason was still gone hoping to get a home together for him before he got home. I ended up with this GHETTO apartment in the middle of the "bad" neighborhood.. I had to get out. So Kate helped me move out and let me crash at her place for a week or so til our house was ready on post... She is the strongest person I have met. You have not met a strong woman until you have met her!! She amazes me. I feel like I have known her forever. And she just dropped the bomb on me yesterday that she is leaving back to Alaska in Aug cuz her hubby is comin home!!! MAN O MAN!!! I hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!! She is only 9 days older than me!!! haha.
