a story of two katy/ie(s)

•This is the story of two cousins, second cousins actually, and you know you come from a big family when you have second cousins who are close to your age.
•Sweet-sixteen Katy came and visited my parents and I arrived home just in time to have her for one day...

•When I think of Katy a few words/phrases/memories come to mind:
SWEET book-worm horse-lover freckles hulla-hoop contest at grandma's "girls night" years ago... intelligent wise-beyond-her-years bit by the travel bug SUSHI EATING...


•Just yesterday Katy was an adorable four-year-old who we all thought was going to be a redhead, but her lovely mane has turned a golden brown! 
•We enjoyed/endured:
Getting Henna tatoos at the Somalian Market being screamed at by a psycho Somalian woman who scared the s&#t out of me for taking a picture of her shop lunch at big bowl borders for stephenie meyer books figuring out that our family is pretty much divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood: giant, catholic, crazy... but entertaining nonetheless!
