Love Where You Live


I was born in Mountain Home, Idaho....
but that is not where I grew up.
I don't even remember Idaho.
When I was 3 1/2 my parents divorced.
My mom, brother & I headed to Lima, Ohio where my grandparents lived.

I grew up in Lima.
And no it's nothing like Glee portrays it to be.
It's an odd town.
It's not tiny, but come guys, there isn't even a Target
{first world problems right there}
I went to the same school all my life.
Which I am thankful for.
Go Bulldogs!!!!
Elida has the fight song of THE Ohio State University <--- and yes that is exactly how you are to say it. No excuses.


Then a move to Mount Vernon Ohio for College
A move back to Lima...because when you & your husband have twins at age 20 you move back home.
Then a move to Tempe, Arizona {that place will always have a HUGE piece of my heart}


And then a move back to Ohio.
We currently live in a small town in southern Ohio called


WE love it.
This is where we bought our first home, it took us almost 7 years of being married but we did it!

  1. We should always be proud of where we live and love our home town rather that's where we are now. Awesome it was home of the Bulldogs. Given that I'm from GA I'm all for the Bulldogs. GA bulldogs that is. I have a cousin who lives in Mt. Vernon. :D

  4. I love your house! And yes - I agree that it is so important to love where you live. I would bet that almost any place can be wonderful if you have the right attitude and make an effort.

  8. Katie! I totally know Lima, OH and Elida! I grew up outside of Van Wert and went to Crestview for elementary school. We still head back that way for holidays. What a small world!

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

The Influential Women Link Up

Today is the Influential Women Blog Link up. If you are a part of the Influence Network -- get on it!!! Honestly at first I didn't think I would link up, me, influential?! I don't think so. But I am. God uses me daily and will continue to use me.  - - - - - - - - -  Three Things About Myself: 1. I love Taco Night. If you already know me personally you would know this about me. But seriously I love it! And let me tell you I can put some tacos back. Our best friends and us have actually started Taco Tuesday so on Tuesdays we make tacos. Now we're just at a point of trying to make it a healthier Taco Tuesday. 2. I love music so much. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to be surrounded by music. If you stop by my house there's a 95% chance you will hear music being played. I love Pandora because I can just put on whatever station for the mood I'm in.  Current favorite Pandora stations: Kari Jobe (I don't think that'll ever change), Jerem
