Get to know Kathy a little better below!

2. I think a celebrity couple that fits the definition of #relationshipgoals is: Fellow Austinites Matthew McConaughey and his beautiful wife Camila Alves are magical. They fell in love at first sight and know how to protect their private lives, have a close-knit family and manage their careers perfectly.

Living with the ASKN team (April, Susan, Kathy, Nancy) or… I really see myself enjoying this last chapter of life because I will have found the man and he will have found me; we choose to be together every day because we want to be together. We will connect our two families, travel, laugh and feel so lucky to have our second chance at love.
