History

Let me start from the beginning. My name is Katie Jo. I was born in Delta, Utah in 1993. I lived in Washington, Utah until I was about two. My parents moved our family to Spring Creek, Nevada and they have been there ever since. In June of 2011 I graduated high school and made plans to attend Southern Utah University in the fall. I worked at Barrick Goldstrike on the "fire crew" for the summer and saved money for my education expenses. In August I moved to Cedar City, Utah and took 14 credits at SUU. I met wonderful people, had a lot of fun, and learned a ton about life. At the end of the semester though, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to be back home. I wasn't exactly excited about leaving the University, but for whatever reason, going home felt right. So I packed up my bags and moved to Elko, Nevada. I am currently living in an apartment with my sister Krissie and our friend Rae Vonne (who got engaged today so she'll be moving out in a couple weeks). I got a job at a local grocery store as a meat deli clerk and will be starting a meat cutting apprenticeship soon. I'm really excited for the opportunity! I will be attending Great Basin College this coming spring to continue my trek towards obtaining that biology degree.
So there you have my history, follow me if you want to learn what's in my future!
