Walk On

Written by Katie. Posted in Favorites, Memorable Experiences, Music

Music.  Relationships. 

Relationships.  Music. 

These are the two things that have gotten me through this past year without going crazy.  These are the two things that I lean on heavily everyday for my survival.  For my sanity.  For my motivation and inspiration.  For my Faith.

I could write for hours and hours about both of these topics, and as I continue to blog, I know that they will keep surfacing as major players in my life.  U2 is something I have been meaning to write about since I saw them in concert at Spartan Stadium a little over a week ago.  It is funny because the first 27 years of my life, I liked U2.  They made up a chunk of my running playlist.  I would watch some of their concerts on Palladia.  I knew and admired that Bono was really involved with various charities. 

You Just Never Know…

Written by Katie. Posted in Favorites, Memorable Experiences

You never know who you will meet on any given day.  Better yet, you never know who you will come across that will have an impact on your life. 

On the way to Philly my Mom and I sat together on the plane.  You’d think this would be a good thing, but it was not.  I freak her out with my “Oh God’s” “What’s that noise?” “Are we going down?” 

On the way home it just so happened that my Mom and I sat apart.  Although I hate to admit this, I usually do better sitting next to someone I do not know, because I feel like I have to hold it together.  I can’t be grabbing on to a stranger’s arm every 2 minutes.  That could get me into big trouble. 

Five for Friday + 2…4/10/11

Written by Katie. Posted in Five For Friday

I was going to do “Seven for Sunday” but it just bugged me too much that it would throw off my consistent “Five For Fridays” posts…Maybe that’s my Montessori mind needing to have order and repetition, or maybe it’s just plain ol’ OCD.  Anyways, here’s my 5+2 for the week… 

1.  Medical Stuff:

  • My blood work came back all normal.  Like I always remind myself, I still have my GOOD HEALTH! 
  • 1 Day of PT. 
  • 2 Days of strengthening exercises in Philly.  My glutes better be firing by now. 
  • Back to reality this week.  Hardcore therapy and kale smoothies, here I come!

Happy Birthday Meghan!

Written by Katie. Posted in Friends

I want to wish a VERY happy 30th birthday to my best friend, Meghan! I love you lots and can’t believe we’ve known each other for 23+ years!  Time flies!  I am so lucky to have been able to share so many milestones, fun times, and not-so-fun times with you as we have grown up together.  Like…
