My Birth
It was a hot day in the middle of June. Katey Evadene was brought into the world at 6:16 a.m. My parents lives were forever changed. Karl and Emily Lesch were now parents. Their first born was here. -
The Second One Had Arrived
My parent's second daughter was born doing an ice storm. Her name was decided to be Lauren Emerson Lesch. I have been told that i loved her when she was a newborn and i was three years old. It's hard to beleive, i was no longer an only child. -
Kindergarten Had Begun
The first day of kindergarten had arrived. Recommended by a family friend, we were in the parking lot of Holly Academy. Little did I know that I was about to walk into the same room as some people that would play extremely important roles in my life in only 9 years. People that would mean the world to me in only a few years were all around me and 5 year old Katey didn't even know it. No one did. -
I Am Not A Pro Gymnast
It was a beautiful day on April 8th, 2010. I was at my best friend Kayla Bush's house. We had made plans to hang out at her house after school. I was so excited because in just two days I was giong to Kalahari in Sandusky, Ohio with my family! Me and Kayla decided it would be a good idea to do gymnastics out in her front yeard. I took a running start to do a front step out. I ran a little too fast and when I landed i heard a crack. There was so much pain, I had never broken a bone before. -
Great Grandpa Died
On March 13, 2013 my Great Grandpa died. He had many types of cancer. We were not very close but I do remember visitng his house with my family. I remember visiting him at the hospital with my cousins. We miss you Great Grandpa. -
Craig Died
One morning my mom got a phone call. Craig had passed away in his sleep. Craig had been my dad's best friend college so of course i had known him my whole life as had my other two sisters. He was basically my uncle. He was there everyday ready to work for my dad. He was only 40 years old and had died of a heart attack. It made me realize that we need to cherish the time we have with everyone because you never know when they could not be here anymore. We miss you Craig. -
It's All Lauren's Fault
March 18,2013 was a very cold day. The events prior to today had already left us numb enough so the cold didn't really matter. Max, our dog, needed to be let out on a tie-down or she would run away. That morning, the rope happened to be under the tire of my dad's truck. Lauren, my sister, did not want to wake up my parents. She decided to just let Max run on her own. The last time we saw her was when she was running in our backyard. -
Bone Rd.
On January 18th, 2014 we finallly moved into a house we had been waiting to build for 8 years. The building process took forever and we were so excited that it was happening. I was just glad to have my own room. We have had this land since i was 4. -
What The Heck?
On February 10th, 2014 I snowboarded for the first time. I was also really confused about my feelings. Could it really be possible that I had a crush on my best friend? Little did I know that this little crush was going to ruin my life and much more. The world is a crazy place and you never know what could happen. -
Sammy G & I
The first time that me and Samm Griffith hung out was April 17th, 2014. It was weird that we were becoming closer because I had basically spent the last 3 years hating her. But that all changed during 8th grade year. We had been texting and talking more and then we finally made plans to hang out. Little did I know that our adventures were just beginning together. -
The Journey Ended
On August 28, 2014 my best friend basically broke up with me. Samm texted me after my first day of CFRI saying that "Our friendship wasn't working out".She told me this right after I found out my Great Grandma was dying. She now goes to Troy Athens High School. I miss her but she chose what happened. You never know when someone closest to you will hurt you the most. -
My Favorite Day
May 9th, 2014 was the perfect day. It was perfect for actually a lot of reasons. It was before DC, I was extremely happy with my boyfriend, I was hanging out with my best friend after school, and we got to have our phones out during lunch time. This day was just so fun for so many reasons. I wish someone would've told me to cherish these moments with these people. -
The Bus To DC
May 13th, of 2014 is a day that I will never forget. The DC trip was finally here. The trip that I had been looking forward to for 9 years was finally here. The best part was, that all of my favorite people were on my bus, including my boyfriend at the time. Which made the trip so much better. Throughout this trip we all got so much closer, and I saw sides to my Holly Academy Family that I never did before. -
The Last Day
June 11, 2014 was one of the worst days of my life. It was the last day of shcool. I was leaving my family. My Holly Academy family. Most of us were going seperate ways. We would have to do the clap-out. Which was when all of the graduating 8th graders would walk down the sidewalk from the gym to the Middle School. All of the other grades were lined up and they would clap as we walked. The clap-out was the hardest thing I had ever done before. I had never cried harder. Our legacy will live on. -
Great Grandma Erna
On September 11, 2014 my Great Grandma Erna died. She died around 7:30. The last time I saw her was great. I helped her drink her coffee and put on her lipstick. She had dementia so she didn't remember us. Whenever me and my cousins were at my Grandma and Grandpa's house, we would go visit her at the old folk's home down the road. I love you Erna. You will always be missed.
