Hey cuz, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. You are finally 25. I can drive around with you now, but not until you get a CA license again. I hope you are having fun over there. Have fun celebrating. I love you cuz. I hope to talk you again soon.

The jellybean is running good...but I guess its real name is Ethel. Jellybean is an inside joke.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Well, happy birthday Katie. It seems like such a long time since we last got to see each other. I understand that this is because you're in Paris and I'm in North Carolina, but still it just doesn't seem fair. I hope you have a wonderful birthday with lots of good French friends. All of us here in America love you very much.

Scott

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Katie!!! You are getting to do something that most of us only dream of doing...spend your birthday in Paris (or near it, anyway!). I hope you have an amazing day filled with lots of love and laughter! Love ya!

Karissa :)

Happy Birthday Katie! I hope everything is a Blast over in Paris, I know I enjoyed it when I was there (the locals could have been a little more welcoming and hospitable though...). Happy 25th!

Happy Birthday Dearest Katie!!

Wish I was sitting in Paris with you, sipping on a Cafe a' Lae' (or however you spell it in French!) sharing laughs with you and cake and presents and all the fun birthday festivities.  I am so thankful you are in my life and I honestly can't wait to be there sharing the French/European life with you for a couple weeks! Until then, I trust God will continue to use you to be a light and encouragement to everyone around you. I miss you dear friend, hope your birthday is a BLAST!  Drink some coffee in honor our tradition! 

Love you!

Denise

Bon Anniversaire!

Happy Birthday Katie!

I'd write a birthday greeting in French but my knowledge is limited to reading academic articles and cuss words, neither of which make for great birthday greetings. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying France and I'm extremely jealous of the opportunity you have.

God bless your time and work in France and let me know how being 25 is, I'll be joining you at that age in a few months.

Happy 25th B'day, Katie!!!

Happy Birthday Frenchie!

Hey Katie!

Happy Birthday! I hope today is filled with tons of blessings. You are in my prayers! Thanks for the updates!

Love you,

Kari (Olson) Replogle

This is your life Katie.....

You were born Katherine Ann Hickey on June 1st, 1984 @ 12:35 pm
You were 19 inches long, 7 pounds 0 ounces
A perfect little girl, ten fingers, ten toes & beautiful!

You were named after your great-aunt Katherine on your father's side

and your Memi (my mom)

Your spoiling started with your ride home from the hospital in a chauffer driven Rolls Royce

Your older brother, Steven, adored you As you grew you had varied interests

Over the years your halloween costumes reflected your personality (funny & a princess):

We were blessed to be with you at most of your birthdays (yes we missed one!):

Some fav pics:

We were blessed to attend your many graduations:

And now you are a grown woman, 25, where have the years gone?

We are the most blessed parents to have had a part in your life. We can see God's hand on you since you were very young. He gave you the sweetest heart of any one we know and all those who come into contact with you are better just for knowing you. They can say "Because I knew you, I've been changed for good". You have a positive impact on whomever you meet. You have a heart for people, and the Lord is using that in your life. Follow close to Him always and you will be fulfilled.

It has been hard giving you up for a time, but because we know others all over the world get to experience your sweet, sweet spirit, we can let you go. (And we're also grateful to skype & facebook & email & .....)

We are so proud of you!

Your adoring parents....

May you have a blessed, blessed birthday.

Know you are loved very much on this side of the world!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OUR SWEET KATIE

Bon Anniversaire!!

Joyeux anniversaire Katie!!!

Hope you have a great birthday in Paris  (I am so jealous)!!!!

Love, 

Anne Turner

My Dear Katie!!

 Oh how I love you! I am so sad that we cannot be there to help you celebrate your 25th birthday.  But I am glad that you will not be alone. Your Paris friends are blessed to know you. I thought I should extend your birthday to make it last as long as possible. A little surprise from us will be coming soon.

 I cannot help but smile when I think about you. You bring so much joy to my life. I love that I get to see how God continues to mold you and use you. I look forward to celebrating your next 50 birthdays with you! You are loved so much more than you know!

Love,

Your Bean! :) 

Happy Birthday friend!

Katie,

I hope you have an amazing birthday in Paris.  I wish we were all there to celebrate with you.

But we are all celebrating your life from far away!  You are the most genuine and kind person I know...and I am more than proud to call you my friend.  

I love you.  I love you.  I love you.  Enjoy your day!

Kali Hana Echaves :-)

I love you Katie! Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST KATIIIIIIEEEEEEEE... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Happy birthday Katie girl! I love reading your updates and telling all of my friends and family about what you are doing and how you are doing. You are an inspiration and Todd and I are praying for you! I pray you will feel loved and blessed on your birthday.

You are beautiful and amazing!
Heidi

PS Love looking at the pics!

Happy 25th Kate!

Friend! I wish I could be there to celebrate your special day with you! I hope you have a fun special and most memoriable birthday ever! I love you lots Katie! Happy 25th!!! xoxox, Nicole

we really keep screwin' up your birthday!

It happened again katie! Your loved ones dont get to be with you on your special day, and it's even an extra special day! 25!!!! You thought once you graduated from school summers would never get in the way, but then this year there is a whole ocean btw you and the ones you love. Lucky for you, you have probably wowed some new people who love you just as much as we do (not as much as me though). I hope and pray that this year goes smoothly because I remember times past of forgotten IDs, tears, some choice words, and a not so happy katie.

I wish every girl in the world was as lucky as I am. Maybe they too can have their very own katiehickey, but Im glad I get to keep you for myself. I cannot imagine living my life without you: it would be boring, lacking color, and definately not enough laughs. You mean the world to me. Thank you for your continued grace and trust even when I dont deserve either. Thank you for loving me especially when I find it hard to love myself. You, my wonderful and dear friend, are the bestest friend a girl could ask for...I wish you the happiest and bestest 25th Birthday anyone has ever had in Paris (leave America for me next year)!


I love you from the bottom and deepest part of my heart! I wish I could be there for you, but I know you wont be alone.

p.s. we will send you the check for Brittney....
