14 years ago before our son was born, my mentor (Bonnie Miley) gave me advice that I have held close to my heart: "Making a decision to put your family first will be a decision you never regret."

Katy's Catering opened August 2010 and will close at the end of August 2019.

As you might know, my husband was hit by an 18 wheeler in April 2016 (distracted driving). He has many health problems but the worst being a disabling traumatic brain injury. Our kids are starting 8th and 6th grade. They have spent 3.5 years of their childhood watching their dad have many surgeries, therapies, doctor appointments. I had NO clue how much my husband helped me with catering until he wasn’t able to help. I wish I could turn back time.

I've had amazing customers, business partners and friends. In the beginning, my goal was to have 2 caterings a month... I end this journey having reached 3,296 official caterings!!!! The largest catering was a Thanksgiving dinner for 800. The "hottest" catering was the Parr wedding at a family pond in the 102 heat. The concession stands always kept me so entertained. The weddings made me dream of my kids on their wedding day. My favorite of all was the funeral lunches. Being able to help a family with a good meal on their saddest day warmed by heart.

Katy’s Catering allowed me to be a stay-at-home-business-owning-mama which is one of the biggest blessings of my life.

This decision has been weighing on my heart for months (just ask my BFF's and family). I had to step back and ask myself what is the most important to me: my kids, husband and their happiness & health, my health and sanity.

What's my plan?? I don't know! My kids are crazy busy with sports, 4-H and twirling. I plan to smother them with my love and attention. My grandparents are needing some help too. My mom wants to start water aerobics together! I have spent the last 3.5 years drinking Red Bull, eating donuts and crying in the catering van. I need to do some hard work of healing my broken heart and start taking care of my body. I might do a little substitute teaching— who knows where the path will lead.

I want to end this super long post with one word: GRATITUDE. Thank you for support and encouragement for Katy's Catering!! It was everything I ever dreamed it could be. ❤️

*Thanksgiving Meal Update 2018*

When my husband built my kitchen 9 years ago, I set out to be an amazing stay-at-home-ish mom with a part-time catering business that would challenge me.

Challenge ✅✅✅✅✅

In the last two weeks, I have wiped my 10 year old daughter’s tears as we planned a way to work towards consistency with her baton solo. I just told my 13 year old son to shave his whiskers for school picture retakes. Tonight I spent the evening changing the clocks and making my grandparents dinner because they had a hard day (they are in their late 80’s). My mom is facing a tough back surgery. And I haven’t even mentioned my husband and his on-going health concerns.

With that being said, I am going to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family this year and not offer Thanksgiving Meals with Katy’s Catering. I hope you will understand that I didn’t make this decision lightly.

I want to work with my kids on how to plan and prepare Thanksgiving Meal. They are planning a prime rib and small turkey! My kids had the best smiles when I told them I was taking the year off.

Please know that this decision breaks my heart and warms my heart all at the same time. Thank you for the calls about the Thanksgiving Meals. ❤️

I plan on returning messages on Tuesday 11/6 and getting caught back up.

I’ve learned the hard, hard way that life can change in the blink of an eye. It’s my plan and goal to start soaking up all of my blessings (especially the two who will soon be ready for college!).
