Me, Just Plain Old Joey.
May 2, 2008
Hi,
My name is Kathryn. but everyone calls me Kate…except my mom, she calls me Joey, long story.. but I have the time. Before my great grandfather died he used to call me topogejo (if its spelled like that) so after he died, in his memory my parents shortened it down to Josephine, then to Joe, then up to joey. My parents named my sister Alex after him. All three of the kids in my family are named after one of our relatives. My name is Kathryn Marie, named after my grandmother Agnes Marie, my sister Ellyn RaeAnne was named after my auntie. and my sister Alexandra Jayne was named after my great grandfather Alexander (he didn’t have a middle name). I am the middle child and I have no brothers. My dad Terry was born and raised here in snow lake, but eventually he left home to go to a university in Brandon, where he met my mom Colleen. My Mom lived in Vancouver in BC when she was young and then also came to Brandon to go to school. They lived in Brandon for a while and got married.after Ellyn and I were born we moved here to snow lake, I’ve lived here ever since. All I remember about living in Brandon was going to the Velvet dip for ice cream or a frozen banana dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. When I was about ten I was in kung-fu, I was one of the 4 students he had. he eventually moved away. after three years I joined track for the first time. now I like to play basket ball, badminton, and floor hockey, I also like to throw a football back and fourth with my friends or my dad. Last year was selected to go on a trip to Strathcona Park with the Junior Canadian Rangers. We Zip-lined, kayaked, went Rock climbing and repelled, we even did stuff like climbing 50 foot trees to the top. I was selected to go again for another week. well I think you all should know enough about me so now I will tell you about the challenge, the 30 day challenge. I am going to leave as many comments as I can on as many different blogs. I hoped you enjoyed your stay at my blog about anything. Please leave a comment.
bye =)

Hey, I had wondered why it said Joey. It seems like you must have been really close to your grandfather and family. It sounds like a lot of fun being able to rock climb and kayak. I personally have never done those things before, but it seems like something I would enjoy. When it comes to the challenge I wish you luck and hope you do well. -Jhosselinne

Kate,
This is a wonderful post. You wrote it great and I think that it was long and had a lot of great info about you. Your post made me think about family, and why it is essential to life. It made me realize why friends are needed, why they are important and why they feel like family.
