Why They Love Living in Katy<br />
“Our family has lived in Katy for over 30 years and we couldn’t imagine<br />
our children growing up in a better city. Katy has the hometown feel of<br />
the both small towns that Patrick and Melissa were born in. Patrick is<br />
originally from Lumberton, Texas and Melissa was born in Hardinsburg,<br />
Kentucky. People in Katy are friendly and always willing to lend a<br />
helping hand to their neighbors. Katy is “country” with all the amenities<br />
of the city and Houston is close enough that if you want to see a major<br />
sporting event, concert, theater, etc., you are able to. We love the<br />
people and pride in Tigerland!”<br />
What They Love to Do<br />
This family most enjoys the local parks<br />
in Katy, feeding ducks and being in<br />
the outdoors. They love to explore the<br />
local businesses in Old Katy, especially<br />
antique and resale shops where hidden<br />
treasures are often found. The Katy<br />
Rice Harvest Festival is one of their most<br />
anticipated events of the year, as well<br />
as the parade and the Katy Rodeo.<br />
Love is in the Air<br />
How They Express It: “Something you will hear many times a day in our home is one person will say<br />
‘Love y’all’ and you will hear all the other family members reply with ‘Love y’all.’ Levi is usually the first<br />
one to prompt this but we all do it when we want to. I think this makes our family unique because we<br />
do remind each other through our love language of what we mean to each other, daily.”<br />
Celebrating Valentine’s Day: The family gets in the spirit of this holiday by enjoying mom’s decorating<br />
in a special part of their home, and indulging in a nice meal together at home or at a restaurant.<br />
They give each other special tokens of their admiration for each other and of course, enjoy creating,<br />
crafting and delivering their Valentines.<br />
What Makes It Tick: They love reminding their family and friends about how much they mean to them,<br />
which is what Valentine’s Day is all about for this tribe. Keeping in mind how much Jesus loves them<br />
and how He asks them to love one another is also an important reflection on this holiday.<br />
