Hi! I'm Kate!I was born in Southern California where I lived until I was 10. At that point, we (my mom, dad, and younger brothers Kevin and Brian) moved to a tiny town in Northern California where my family has a winery.
As a kid, I was pretty precocious and a bit of an attention-hog. My parents say that once I learned how to talk, I never shut up... my husband isn't surprised to hear this. I put this love of the spotlight to use, and was involved in theater from second grade through high school.
I attended college at Gonzaga University and am now a die-hard Zags basketball fan. I majored in Communications because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and (as previously noted) am a fan of talking.
After college, I worked as an after-school coordinator for a year or so and then found an advertising account manager job with a tech company in San Francisco. Moving from a teeny town to the big city was quite the culture-shock (I was even licked by a homeless man in the subway...), but it allowed me to be closer to my boyfriend (now husband).
In my free time I love to read, shop, travel & craft. I am a TV addict and a huge fan of horror movies (I wrote my college thesis on slasher films). I also think wine is mighty fine and puns are absolutely hilarious (cue the groans)
Joe
Joe grew up in Kansas City and Columbia, Missouri, and has the manners and charm that one would expect from a boy who grew up in the Midwest. He is fiercely proud of where he's from and if a celebrity or public figure who is from/lived in Missouri is brought up, I'm quickly informed of their connection to the state.
As an undergraduate, he attended the University of Missouri and majored in Psychology.
After college he was looking for a change of scenery and a bit of adventure, so he moved to Northern California. Soon after arriving, he was hired as a case manager for people with developmental disabilities (a population he worked with in college as well).
He was great at his job, but in August 2009 he decided he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. He enrolled in a Post-Bac program in order to fulfill the necessary requirements for dental school and was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine a few years later. He's set to graduate in May 2017 (quite the long road)!
In his free time, Joe loves to watch sports, travel, and cook (score!). He is a huge fan of Mizzou football and basketball, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the St. Louis Cardinals. He does not like horror movies *sad face* but at least he can appreciate a good pun.
Baby Boy Brier
We have his name picked out, but it's top-secret until he's born. Our little guy is due on May 7, 2015 and we couldn't be more excited to meet him!
Both Joe and I have wanted to be parents for a very long time, but decided to delay starting a family until he was half-way through dental school. We are so happy to finally have our first little one coming!
We are a bit concerned with how our fur-baby will take our new addition...
Buster
This is Buster! Our fur-baby's birthday is March 14, 2010 and we adopted from
a Philly shelter in June 2013. He's
such a sweet little dog, I don't know why anyone would give him up. But I
am glad they did, because he's ours now :)We think he is a mix of Italian Greyhound and/or Whippet with some Fox or Jack Russell terrier thrown in. Unlike a lot of terriers, he's a quiet boy (except for a few barks when someone comes to the door).
He's INCREDIBLY lazy and spends most of the day sleeping, usually curled up right next to me or Joe. He is a total cuddlebug.
He is a huge fan of treats (what dog isn't?) and playing with his bento ball (seriously folks, get your dog this toy NOW).
