About Katie

I grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas, which is a suburb of Fort Worth.  My father is a Lutheran Pastor, so that makes me a PK (pastor's kid).  I lived in Texas until I was 23 when I met and married my wonderful husband Hans.  We then moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana so Hans could finish seminary. Yes, that makes me a pastor's wife.  Three days after our first anniversary I gave birth to our first son John.  Somewhere in this time, after postponing school several times, I graduated from college with a Bachelors in Finance.  In June of 2008 we moved from Fort Wayne, IN to Denver, CO where Hans got a call to be the pastor at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church.  It was in Denver that we had our second son, August, in March 2009 and our third son, Anders, in October 2010.  In December of 2010 we moved to Minooka, IL.  Now I am a mom to a 12 year old, a 9 year old and 7 year old.  All three of my boys are truly boys, as they take after their father.  I am a lone girl in a sea, or river, maybe just a trickle of men.  I love every minute of my job as wife and mother...well, maybe not every minute.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I truly enjoy sharing our stories with you.  This blog serves as a source of stress relief for me as I can read the stories after the fact and laugh, imagining that it is happening to someone else.
