cat's meow

welcome to my life! i'm cat, a 20 year-old student at brigham young university. i am studying sociology with a minor in modern dance and will graduate on august 15, 2003. my ultimate career goal is to become a registered dance therapist. my ultimate lifetime goal is to become a mother.

i am the youngest in a family of five girls (read about my family). i was recently (november 2001) married to my best friend (read our story), and our little family now consists of me, james, and our teeny rabbit mocha.

i am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly knows as mormons), which i love. it has helped me become who i am today.

i love dance, thai food, writing, kids, garlic, and rain (among many other things!).
