So there's all this talk going around everywhere about blogging and how awesome it is. Well, I am always up for trying new things (except sushi, I don't think I'll ever try sushi.) and so I thought maybe I would give blogging a try. Maybe people are actually interested in what I have say...and if not, well, I at least know my dad will appreciate reading about my life if no one else will. Hi dad!
Besides, I have come to the conclusion recently that my life is rather extremely dull compared to the lives of others. So I have decided most of the time I will not be writing about my life. Instead I will write about life in general...like...well, I can't think of anything at the moment (great start), but I promise there will be some great postings to come. :)
In the meantime, this is just a hello to everyone who may read. Hello! So in case you don't know much about me, for today I will give just a brief synopsis of myself... The name is Katie Jo Barthel, but you can just call me Katie. ;) Although my Grandpa for some reason has always called me Kathryn Josephine...must just be an affectionate thing.
I am a currently attending school to become a social studies teacher in high school, and at 5'2" and barely 100 pounds, most people hear that and give me that "Good Luck" look....hahaha. I am excited though; I LOVE working with people, which is why I became I Resident Assistant at my school. Now THERE'S experience for ya! I LOVE my job, it's so much fun! And you get to be involved in some pretty crazy stories and see some pretty crazy things, which always makes for a good time!
I come from a family of seven - my mom, dad, my oldest brother Jeff, older brother, Mike, younger sister Erica, and younger brother, Nick...so if you calculated correctly, you will have discovered I am smack-dab in the middle. Woot. I was born and raised Catholic, but am now Mormon and LOVING it! We'll save that whole conversion story for a later day...maybe...
I have a wonderful boyfriend, Thomas. We started dating April 14, 2006 and it's been the time of my life ever since. He's in Idaho until July 2011 serving a mission for church, so I won't be seeing him for about two years, but we still get to email every week, so that's awesome.
I think that's the gist ya need to know about me for now...stay tuned for future thoughts and stories! =)
Hi Katie! This is Ashley Smith...I'm glad you've joined the world of blogging! I have a blog here too, not that I really post much on it or anything, just every once in a while when I have time...anyways, I look forward to reading your blogs! You'll have at least two readers! (assuming your dad reads them like you think he will :-P )
ReplyDeleteKatie! I love it, way to go! Don't forget to keep checking on mine too, and as for the sushi, I was exactly the same as you...yucky stuff and all that...but it really is SO good! You've got to try it!
