Recent East Texas transplant, Kat Smith taught 8th grade American History for 12 years in Austin and Tyler. She met her exceptionally wonderful husband and moved to Longview, Tx. Kat is now a stay-at-home-mom to a a very squishy toddler (Lincoln). She loves Jesus, cusses a bit too much, and sometimes wonders if she should raise chickens in the backyard. She should not! This would be disastrous! Please remind Kat of this next time you see her at the Farmers Market!
