Katie Nunnally
Hey there, I’m Katie! We’re living the aloha life on O’ahu, Hawaii, where we’ve been for almost 3 years now. I love being at the beach, watching British crime dramas while I fold clothes, chatting in the alley as my kids play with friends, and planning trips around the islands with my family. We’re embracing our historic base home for the unique opportunities it provides, and learning all we can about the history of the Hawaiian people. I am the mom to 4 elementary school aged kids, and wife to an Air Force guy who just can’t retire even after 20 years.
