If any rich and emotionally available single men happen to be reading this, you can send your applications straight to me 💁🏻‍♀️

This is not a joke. The screening process is real 😉 You’re my best friend.

To be completely vulnerable, I have been praying for a close sisterhood like this for years. You are all so lucky to have it. 🥲 Happy Galentine's Day, ladies!!

LOVE this. As our girl Robin says, "squats low, standards high"

Yes ma’am. “What Robin said” is a pretty standard guiding practice in my life 😜

I love this! 💛 And your commitment to Voxer. I had a group Vox going with a couple of friends a few years ago, but then we stopped and just switched to texting. But sometimes I miss the voice messages.

Also, I’m texting my BIL (who lives near you) and asking if he knows any eligible men for you. 😂 (Kidding. Unless you want me to.) 😘😘

This is EXACTLY what my close girlfriends and I do, just on Marco Polo. It is life-giving. It is therapy. It fills my cup in ways I never could have imagined needing over the last several years. I am so happy that you have this core group of amazing women/friends/sisters by your side.

I'm rooting for you, Katie! And I agree that you are TOTALLY marketable but I do hear it's grim out there. That said, God already knows His plans for you and He will lead you to the right person at the right time.

Happy Galentine's Day ❤️!

Katie - “I love watching Sports Center” needs to be at the top of your hypothetical profile! 🤣

I love this on so many levels. Some real gems in that Voxer chat ♥️. But I must say that my favorite part is the description of Sonya's tone. Could hear it all in her voice 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

You can definitely sit with your emotions, Katie. You can ride the wave of them and learn they will not overcome you. You can do it. And when you do, they will not feel so big and unwieldy any more. You’re emotionally stronger than you think. 💜
