Kate

I've spent the better part of my life in Central Minnesota. I grew up just a few miles east of St. Cloud and went to SCSU. When I'm not living the dream I love shopping, spending time with my friends and family and doing just about anything (except work) outside. I love animals, especially my dog, Kaycee. I'm constantly on the go and enjoy the music of Bob Seger, Bad Company and REO Speedwagon. I'm also love country music, both new and old. I can't live without Mountain Dew and it's best not to ask me any tough questions until I've had my morning dose. I like to try new things so I go by the old saying 'you only live once, so enjoy it!' Anything else you want to know - - just ask!
