Dear Kristi,

Kristi I've known the shortest time here, but she's quickly and easily a good friend. Whether it's a run, a race, a ski day, or a night out, Kristi is always ready and willing to jump on it. There may be a plan B or a plan C and a "it depends," at times, but there are plenty of things she can be counted on for. Fun and friendship and a good bottle of wine are just a few.

While we're spending our last week in Colorado skiing, Kristi asked if there's anything I need her to do while we're gone, in terms of getting ready to move. I'm pretty certain that if I said, "Yea, can you start packing up my kitchen?" she would be totally on it. Kristi is one of the most thoughtful people I know.

She's very tight with her family and her friends and you just know that she's there for the duration. This is what I love about her.

Thanks Kristi, for rounding out the book club, pushing me on a mid-morning run, and always ready for a quick get-away to ski. It's been great calling you my friend and I've had a lot of fun with you.

Just wanted you to know that Ric decided to give you a full 2% chance of actually visiting us in Germany, so we'll see you there... if only just to prove him wrong! If not, we'll just have to catch you in a few years, back at Keystone when we're here for a visit.

Thanks for the memories,
Love, Katy
