First Things First


  • My name is Katie. I am a daughter of God and I love my savior Jesus Christ. Currently a city girl living in Minneapolis, I dream of moving out to the country someday. I blog mostly about my current life as a twenty-something. I like decorating my teeny apartment, autumn, dinner parties and dresses with tights. I shoot photographs for a local magazine and I love to be creative.
