Katie writes this blog.
Stephan is the man responsible for the recent upgrade to Katie 2.0.
Katie and Stephan used to live in Portland, Oregon, with Simon and Spencer, the most adorable and orange cats in existence.
Now they are living near Birmingham, England, for 3 to 5 years, and you have come to the right place to read all about them driving on the wrong side of the road and not eating Marmite.

Adriaan almost punched Stephan this one time when Stephan took him to the top of a Black Diamond on the first day of teaching him how to snowboard.
Alison is the cute blonde often pictured with Stephan in the annual family calendar. Her friend Melissa did not get very far on the worst jigsaw puzzle of all time when they were our first UK visitors.
Cenaida is Katie’s twice ex-best-roommate-ever and was her maiden of honor. Her loyalties are to the bride.
Eric has been Katie’s friend since he stopped being afraid of girls (circa 1996) and now has a job that a monkey could not do.
Ethan and Caryn are friends from Walla Walla who gave the world Oliver and whose cat gave the world Simon and Spencer.
Matt is Katie’s older brother by birth, and we are not going to tell him what his Goofy slippers look like.
Mom is the lady who celebrates the anniversary of the happiest day of her life every year on December 16. She is married to Dad, who taught Katie everything she knows about optical time domain reflectometers.
Nalani was responsible for making college bearable and now lives much too far away with her husband and Katie’s pal, Chad, and Katie’s fake nephews, Tommy (Po’) and Jaden (JJ).
Ron makes up half of Katie’s friends who have three middle names. Tanya is his brand-new bride.
Tony was Katie’s classmate from 1st to 12th grade and best friend once he started playing his cards right. He has been Stephan’s new super-best friend ever since they were MBA classmates. Now that he has received his MBA, he can afford to give Katie and Stephan expensive gifts.
