Welcome Katie. It's so good to have you in my house. So fun. I have you in my house all the time. Like once you're twice a week. Pretty much, pretty much.

It was even been in this room a long time. Yeah. Yeah. I was, um, someone put a neighborhood thing out. I don't think I told you, but I told Rob about wanting to do Christmas carols.

Like for Lawson, like this street wants to participate. And I was like, oh, yes, we could totally help with that. And I met you and Rob mainly. And I was like, we have friends that are technically not on our street, but they're pretty much a part.

Our community. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, they're at our house all the time. Anyhow. So I feel like if you identified as being a part of part of some milk, it would be this area. Yeah. It really would be. Yeah. It's weird to be like, wait, we don't actually live right here, but it's fine. The next town over. It's fine.

Hopefully. Well, welcome to the show. Thank you. That's great. Katie pretzel. Introduce yourself to my people. Um, my name is Katie pretzel. I am. I don't know. A mom of three. Um, friends of the friends. And just like, man, I don't know what else do I think you embrace the whole pretzel. I love that about you. I do. I do. Yeah. I made fun of Rob.

My husband when I first met him because we were at school together. And I was sassy and was like, is your last name really pretzel? Like, do you just be honest? Because it's spelled a little different. And he said, no, it really is.

And he showed me his driver's license. And I was like, okay, I guess it is. And then I came to find out that it means little prayer. And so I thought, oh, wow, I feel very bad for making fun of a really cool last name. But yeah, we love it. I mean, like good thing. We are not gluten intolerant.

Because we consume a lot of pretzels as well. And that's always super fun and little kids. They're like, here's a bag of your family. That's what like a lot of, I don't know. Yeah, I feel like Peter has said that to be helpful.

Yeah, he's like, I'm eating a lot. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And some people also hear our last name. And they're like, are you talking about a fictional family? Like the pretzels? It just sounds too.

There's like a fly here. Anyway, no, it's great. I killed a fly and it landed in the basket. Oh, I'm not an impressive shot. I don't know if you guys can see it from there. But I totally killed a fly. And I caught it in a basket. Yeah, that was like some crack it.

That was, yeah, it was, it was smooth. Yeah, we chose to have our curtains open. I think I'm glad that I've done it. But then we'll find out later when we watch this if it works or not for the shadow.

I think we're okay. Like this ear feels really warm. Yeah, that ears in the sun. But I don't know that you could see it from that end. I think it's just such a better look than having the curtains. It's, well, yeah.

And the fact that it's sunny and it's end of November, I know we got to embrace it. We need, I'm getting some vitamin D really seriously on this part of my face. Yeah. And that's important. We need that. I need that.

I also tried to do this interview like multiple weeks. Yeah. And it's not happened for one reason or another. Yeah, true. Yeah.

My family being in town. Sickness. Yeah, unlike both ends. Both ends. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, your family, my family. Yeah.

Hives, my body decided to break out in hives for the last like four or five days. Super cool. If you see me itching, tell me to stop.

Because I'm still a little itchy, but it's not as bad. Thank you. But like, especially like my scalp itches. So I keep like doing this. And I'm like, like yesterday, I felt like I just had really big like Texas hair.

Not because I was embracing the look of giving Texas. It was more just the I was super itchy. Yeah, that's always right. Okay, I will let you know. Yeah. I would be like, I know, now that I said it, I'm, I shouldn't have talked about it.

Because it makes me want it. I'm a little itchy too. Yeah, no, we've tried to talk about it and do it ever. And it's just fun to like, I don't know surrender it. You know what I mean?

And just be like, all right, Lord, if you want this to happen, it'll be great when it happens. And like my kids are playing with your kids in backyard. And I hear them.

Yeah, we have like a dozen kids on the trampoline right now. Do we really? Yeah. Yeah. And they look great. They look like they're having fun. They're jumping. They're. Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah. It's great. Yeah. That's like a gift of having you guys.

Who your kids genuinely love little kids. And I'm blessed by that. Not just for the like, Hey, you know, your kids will play with my kids.
