Caitlin loves to attend Katja’s classes to support her (even if she doesn’t follow the cues the best!). In 2023, Katja and Caitlin travelled to Italy to celebrate Katja’s 30th birthday. They made incredible memories roaming the streets of Rome at 3 a.m., visiting the Trevi Fountain as the sun rose, and swimming in the cold waters of the beaches of Positano. Katja lives in Houston, TX but Caitlin loves when Katja visits her in Austin.

Hunter has made Houston an Uncle thrice over.
