Well, I'm alive too....

Alrighty.... Well I clearly haven't posted for a long time. Sorry about that. I've been pretty busy lately, for many reasons. I went to an amazing musical at school. Sweeney Todd. It was fantastic, and Erika and Matt Gaither both did AMAZING. Seriously. I was wowed beyond belief, and when Erika hit the high A above high C, I almost peed my pants. I even got goosebumps! It was great! And Matt was just silly, it was great.

School wise? Ick. I'm not doing well in algebra because my teacher refuses to teach, and trig is going ok, but I have to take both of those finals.... I'm gonna fail. As it is I'm already almost failing the classes themselves... Band is going dandy, have to take that inal too... Physics is going FANTASTIC! I'm very proud of myself. I currently have 104% in that class! :D so happy. U.S. History is goin alright... English is going great. Oops I gotta write my idiom paper.... Before tomorrow. I should get that done. You know, I shouldn't blog. I get too distracted too easily. The heck. Anyways.... As to what Emily was tryin to not tell anyone, my plans for next year? Well, I'm thinking about starting my Associates in Applied Sciences in Collision Repair at WDT next spring, after first semester of high school. That equals about 67 credit hours that are mostly hands on, in the shop. I'm pretty excited.

I'm still looking for a job, for the summer and for next school year both. It's not going so well. Poopy. Having a good source of income would be wonderful. However I don't know if it's going to happen at this rate. Finals are this week, as well as epiphanies. Epiphanies are, for all you that don't know, the rewards ceremony for the drama people at Central. It means I get to look pretty in a fancy dress and sit down for a long time! And eat good food! But that's that.

Anyways, I don't know what else to say right now. So.... Love you all! Toodles! -Caite

Sun, Moon, and Stars

First of all, I'm alive and well in Colorado/Wyoming. I add the slash because the ranch I'm at sits right on the border, so we're riding along and I'm never quite sure where the line is and what state I'm in. Second of all, this post is inspired by the occasional look back at our lives.

Whenever I meet someone that doesn't know my family, just me, and I talk about my sisters, I always compare us to the sun, the moon, and the stars. We're all so very different from each other, and yet we get along and each shine in our own different ways. We also have our own times to shine and we're all so gorgeous!

As I was talking to my little sister on the phone yesterday (sorry, Ash, I ran out of time before I had the chance to call you), I thought about how the three of us have taken our separate ways, and they're all very different from each other. Ashley's off in Idaho, married and working on being an artsy person, with her music degree and all. I'm off in the middle of nowhere on a cattle ranch, getting down in the dirt and playing with the pigs and the horses and the cows, still not 100 percent sure on what I'm going to do with my life when I go back to Utah to college. And Caite is planning on graduating high school and going to the local tech school, and going somewhere with her life that allows her to do hands-on things, I won't say exactly what cause I'll leave that to her ;).

And yet, we can be very similar. All of us are optimistic for the future, strong in the gospel, love our family, and happy with where we are in life, or if we're not, we get there. I can honestly say that I am so proud of my family for choosing good paths in their lives and with how we get along. I'm just proud as a peacock of my two lovely sisters, as well as my three brothers. And I know my sisters will agree that we all have the best parents in the world!

As for how I'm doing on the ranch, I might start a new blog for that. I've got some pretty great stories. But then again, I might not.... I have a hard time remembering to blog.

Ashley and Caite, post on here soon! If I can do it, so can you!

Belated Birthdays!
