Ode to Katie
I met Katie Owens on the 17-hour plane fight to South Africa. The night before we had a red-eye flight from LAX to JFK. I was unable to sleep the entire flight. When I got on the flight to SA me and Katie had a little introduction time and were observing the different entertainment options that were available to us on the longest flight ever! The last thing I remember I was playing with the overhead light with my remote and fell asleep, keep in mind this is probably mid conversation and the overhead light is on. This is where Katie comes in, she was extremely caring and took care of me during this vulnerable time. She turned off the light above me, helped fix my bobbing head by placing my head on my pillow. This was the beginning of this great friendship.
Since the time on the plane we have had many adventures, we have gone on walks in the animal reserve where we were 10 feet away from 4 Zebra, accidentally matching at the Birds of Prey sanctuary. In a previous blog I told you that there was a picture that was of me and Lauren at the Birds of Prey sanctuary, it was not of me and Lauren, it was of me and Katie. Katie is an awesome friend and I needed to clear up this mistake to the world in a proper way.
This is the infamous picture of me and Katie!
This is my Ode to Katie.
haha this is so funny. Must be one special girl to get a whole ode devoted to her!
Thanks for that, Josiah! You didn’t need to write a whole ode to me! I was just joking about being mad that you called me Lauren. Seriously, though… after all I did for you on the plane, you forgot who I was :(. haha!
