Liz tagged me for this meme, so here it is...I'll try the picture thing, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get many!
Name: Katie, mostly. Katherine or Kate otherwise. My mom used to spell my name Käte, which is more Germanic. I have a long name if you include my middle name, confirmation names and last name all into one.
Born: Conklin/Grand Rapids, Michigan. A small farming community between Grand Rapids and Grand Haven. The picture is the school I went to from grades K-8. It's also where my mom and grandfather, not to mention a ton of relatives went.
Favorite Color: Blue, blue and more blue. I could wear all blue every day and not be tired of it. I've been gently prodded to buy things that are not blue, which I do have, but blue always catches my eye.
Favorite City: Whoa! I would have to say first that cities are not necessarily my favorite places to go. Visit, yes, but never to live. And secondly, I'm just going to make it broader and say that my favorite state is Michigan. I'll visit anywhere else, but that's where I'll always come back.
Places I Want to Visit:
Yep, just about everywhere. Right now I'm looking at Nova Scotia/PEI, Peru, China/Thailand, India, Carribean and more of the U.S. It's just a matter of when the time is right and if it's safe to travel! And, of course, time.

Bad Habit: Worrying, too. I'm a-copyin' Liz. I come by it very honestly in my genes.
Favorite Animal: Oh, probably the turtle or giraffe. Just as a pet, nothing beats a good ol' mutt dog! 
Past Love: I, too, am not sure how to answer this. So, this is how I'm going to do it. I used to love salt...dipping things in it. Although I still use it, I'm not obsessed anymore. I did dunk in the salty Dead Sea this spring. Maybe still an obsession?
First Job: I guess babysitting would be it. Just in reference, my brother (then 12) and I (then 9) would take care of my sister (then a baby). It ended up my brother staying in his room "in case of fire" and me taking care of her. Imagine that. I guess babysitting and working on the farm (picking strawberries, tying trees, making boxes, sorting) are two of the firsts!
Current Job: Curator of Education at MSHP. Working with programs, interpretation and education. All in the straits area.
