In case you don't remember....

...i'm going to refresh you on a little trivia per lori's tag. yes i know its been a while since you've seen ben and i so i'm going to start with the basics. actually this tag is about me...

1) what am i doing right now



looking up masters programs: yes i am graduating this semester so i thought about looking around at what i might want to do with my life. more importantly i'm trying to find an answer to "what are you going to do with your degree in psychology?"

2) my age



22: this is a V-22 carrying a hummer. i thought it looked pretty cool. ben wants one of those hummers some day.

3) name



caitlin: i thought this picture fits because i work at a gym. oh and her real name is also caitlin miller ha!

4)middle name



hazel: actually i really don't have one. i have always wanted hazel as my middle name - its from my great aunt on my grandpa taylor's side. she was feisty i hear and i've liked it ever since i was little. it's even engraved on my scriptures and i used to write it as my middle name on stuff.

5) last name



miller: ok so i got the same picture as lori so i had to find a different one. but also ben thinks his nickname was miller lite? can someone please figure this out? or was it miller high life... he can't remember

6)maiden name



taylor: this was a hard name to let go because its so easy to spell, pronounce and comes with such rich heritage.

7) favorite food



mexican: ask anyone - i like me a good ol' bean and cheese burrito. those two things are regularly stocked in our food supply. i know it's a possiblity i might look like this guy if i keep it up but they are soo good.

8) bad habit



diet coke: i asked ben if i had a bad habit and so lovingly he said no. oh and then he said, "you drink diet coke alot?" how sweet of him.

9) past pet(s)





max and lotte: these were two dauchsunds that we had forever. then we got tons of little baby dauchsunds. max was black and lotte was brown. they were the best and even got along with bugs my bunny, kind of

bugs: i got a bunny, loved it, it scratched me a little, still loved it, went to piano lessons one day, came home and found it floating in our pool, buried it by myself in the rain while i cried. then i ran down the alley with one of my stuffed bunnies and cried. then i probably got hungry or didn't like that no one could see me crying and went home. this is probably why i don't play the piano much, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. i had to put both of those pictures up cause that big one is gross! mine was cute.

rex: this was a jack russell terrior. the best ever! he had long legs and loved to jump over our fence, bolt out the door and take a lap in the pool. he was a much better swimmer than bugs. he had a big heart and loved everyone. we had him since he was a puppy and miss him terribly.

10) grandma's name

carol crane and joanne taylor: yeah no pictures here. both fantastic ladies that teach me different things.

11) past love



nsync: enough said. one of them is gay now. at least i can say its not the one i liked.

12) first job



walgreens: correct me if i'm wrong dad but this pretty much was my first job. aahhh walgreens, what a love/hate relationship. i loved having snacks and 'as seen on tv' products at my fingertips but hated finding the heel scrapper on isle 4 or checking out the anorexic lady that would buy us out of laxatives. what a test of keeping your mouth shut.

13) favorite place



strawberry, az: the great place where my family's cabin sits atop a hill. this place if full of memories from grandpa crane. i love hearing mom and dad's stories of how they all helped to build it. it holds lots of memories for ben and i as well as for the rest of our family too.

14) if i went back to school



forensic psychology: hello i'm in school!! this area has always been my favorite. who knows i may still make it there. i like to figure people out.

15) if i could visit any place in the world



new zealand: i think it looks pretty cool plus i liked the stories from there that i learned at the polynesian culture center in hawaii.

boo ya lori!

Cait and Ben said...

Stan - Thank you, but no that is not really Rex. I didn't have one of him on my computer. Pretty close though!

Lori - How dare you mock me. Yes I will look into Maryland along with a certain cruise...

Colton said...

I don't think that is a picture of Strawberry. It is really pretty, though.

I want to go to New Zealand, too. One of my life dreams is to see a real live hobbit.

Let me know what you find out about graduate school, I'm toying with the idea me-self.

Some of these pictures scare me?!

Nathan said...

What is the deal with the tease of picking pumpkins with the likes of you and Ben? That would be awesomeness. I am pretty sure there is a masters program out here in someting.

Katie said...

You could always just change your name to include the middle name you want. My other sister in-law totally did it. She was given the name of Lacy Lee but always liked the name Eloise and so when she when she got married she just changed it. I say go for it!

Deanne said...

It was fun to read your post and hear from you guys! I bet your are glad that school is almost over. You though senoiritis was bad in high school. It is ten times worse in college.

It's Karelyn. Sorry for the randomness. I saw you commented on Lauren's Bite, and I said to myself...Hey, I think I know her.
