Katelyn's favorite Saint Therese Core Value is: Definitely FUN! I believe that life is too short not to embrace joy and laughter. Fun fosters creativity and connection, allowing us to build meaningful relationships and enjoy the little moments. It reminds us that even in challenging times, a little lightheartedness can make all the difference. Whether it’s sharing a laugh with friends, trying out a new activity, or simply appreciating the silly things in life, I think embracing fun keeps our spirits high and our hearts open. After all, a little fun can spark joy and inspire us to be our best selves!

 

I like to keep things lively! You can usually find me hitting the golf course with my husband, trying to perfect my swing (and maybe snagging a few cute pics with the beautiful scenery). We’re also big Timberwolves fans, so catching a game and cheering for our team is a must—there's nothing like the thrill of a buzzer-beater! When I’m not out and about, you can find me curled up with a good book, diving into new worlds and adventures. And of course, my puppy girl Saylor always keeps me on my toes with her playful antics! She’s the best reading buddy, even if she thinks my lap is her throne. So, whether I’m on the greens, in the stands, or snuggled up with Saylor and a novel, I’m all about balancing fun and relaxation!
