(yes this picture is of me, and yes i am in a giant box) This is back in the good ole DB days and without Katie I would NEVER have worked there! I came in just because she told me to apply, i didn't really want to work there, but they interviewed me on the spot and what do you know I became a somewhat faithful employee of Deseret Book.....lol, okay no i wasn't a faithful employee at all, but surprisingly enough I LOVED working there. I got to spend time with the greatest person ever!!
Katie is the most
beautiful person i have ever met! Don't be jealous, just deal with it! Seriously tho, she has the best, funniest, happiest, craziest, goofiest,
biggest,
HEART!! Yes we officially met at girls camp, and I was quiet.....okay i admit, but i was probably only quiet because i was mad i had to go to girls camp in the first place! Little did i know i would be going to the same highschool as her a year later!
Working at DB together
I never hated highschool, i loved it! Especially all the moments in drama with katie! Just a highlight of the best times:
Katie doesn't wear shoes....ever. She always takes them off in class and one time we could not find her shoes anywhere!! Being the shoeless girl she is, it didn't bother her and she went home without them. Well that night at one of the Plays at school I was up in the light booth i believe and what do i spot at the very front of the stage sitting ever so out of place...the missing shoes!At seminary...this one's pretty old, Sophmore year i thinkOne time we decided to ditch our last hour, but where did we go? We went underneath the stage in the orchestra pit. There were all these boxes and we set them up around us so we wouldn't be seen. Katie layed down on a dead mouse, and she wanted me to take care of it for her...ew! And then to top it off Mrs. Imel found us down there and we pretended like we were sleeping, so great!
In theatre and NO! katie did not buy this shirt just because she had a crush on the boy from XTORTION!!! :) another day of ditching: you know those areas at the church where they put all the a/c units...well that's where we went to ditch class(hey none of us were old enough to drive yet, and the church was across the street
) look Katie isn't wearing any shoes. After school we went to the vending machines, well Katie felt something hit her head as we were walking, and she turns around to yell at these kids sitting at a table. I laughed SO hard because it was actually a bird that pooped on her!! And then she got really mad at me because i wouldn't get it off!!!
Grad night with Lisa and Marissa 2 other very beautiful ladies!
I had SO many good times with this woman during highschool and then after graduation when we worked together! Katie knew that i was crazy about my husband before I did, and while he was gone on his mission she was my rock. I would not have survived without her. Everytime I think of Katie I smile and I can't think of a single thing bad about her. Even when she has cottage cheese palms or grapefruit eye, or hasn't showered all week, she is beautiful!
Katie the great doodle artist...she drew this of me and jared and our story while he was on his mission :)
So moral of the story is that I am sorry if you don't know Katie, but I am a vey lucky person for having found such a great friend. You are the greatest Katums!! Thank you for giving me more than 3 strands of hair in the picture you drew!
ps. she also makes up the best games....but that's a whole other story for another day...
