Torture the bride!

Saturday we had a shower for Zak's fiance Katie.  We love her!  I think we maybe even like her more than he does, or more than him, or both.  Well... almost!  She is just perfect for him, and I am sure that they will live a happy, wild and crazy life together!  She fits perfectly into the family, and I am sure that by the time she is done with us we will all be more fashionable and fun!  

In case you haven't met her, Katie and Zak have known each other for years.  They ran with the same crowd and have many of the same friends.  She went to beauty school in high school and then decided that she didn't like to touch lice (I made that part up... the lice part) or didn't love doing hair, and that she wanted to be a fashion designer.  She moved to Phoenix and started going to the Art Institute down there (she is also and amazing artist) and is going to do either fashion marketing or be a buyer... I think??!!??  Something like that.  Anyways, her and Zak reconnected and fell in love before we knew it he moved down there, proposed, and the rest is history!  

So to welcome her to the family we made her eat three packs of gum.  That is just kind of how we roll in the Ellis family.  If you can eat three packs of gum without chocking you can marry in.  She passed the test.  And she kind of liked it.  (really, it was a game... duh?)

I am glad to get the scoop on her. Sorry we couldn't make it we ended up having to take Jayson to the hospital because he was really sick but unwilling to go himself so my went to him and took him and it's a good thing she did. He is still in there and my parents are stressed but the next time I make it down that way we'll a gift to your parents for them (unless they are still around and we'll give it to them).
