My name is Caity. I'm a Navy wife and a stay at home mommy, so life is pretty dull most of the time. I have two children: my son, Kale, who is 3, and my daughter, Kirra, who is 22 months. I also just found out that I'm expecting again! I spend most of my time with my family, or reading, writing. Being away from home is hard for me, all my family lives in Florida, like 16 hours away. I don't have any friends here in Texas, so yea, I definitely have a very boring life.
