Me
My names Catherine, but people call me Cat. Although I will say I am NOT a cat person.
I love vanilla caramel creamer in my coffee when I get up in the morning. I like sleeping in even better.
I'm a homebody, I love snuggling on the couch with my loves on a rainy day.
My favorite food is tacos, my husband jokes it's the only thing I cook. . . this isn't too far from the truth.
I love Carlos 'O Kelleys, they catered my wedding, no joke.
I love shoes, high heels in crazy colors with a cute little flower or bow just to top it off.
I love scrapbooking, it's my obsession, er... my hobby I mean.
I watch "Criminal Minds" religiously, if you call me on a Wednesday night at 8:00 I probably won't answer. :)
I love music; all kinds of music from Tom Petty to Slipknot to Johnny Cash. Even though I've lived in Wisconsin or Iowa all of my life I cannot stand modern day country music! Although, if you play it for your first dance I still might cry.
My Family, My Loves
My first love is my family. I have a wonderful husband named Tony, or Tony Wony Bear, as we lovingly call him. He's going to hate that I put that on here! He's my everything, my rock, he finishes my sentences.
My sweet sweet, 6 year old little girl, Alexandria, we call her Alex. She is spunky, funny, witty, dramatic, and always dancing and singing. Her life is a musical. She is the most outgoing little girl you will ever meet... and you will meet her if she has anything to say about it. :)
Then there is Alex's little sister, our little 8 lb toy maltapoo. Her name is Belle with an "e" because she is named after the Disney princess. She is also known as Hells Bells, Jingle Bell, Bellard, Bellzard, Bella La Gosi, Bell Bell, and Foo Foo . . .Oh, and we're pretty sure she speaks Spanish.
And last but not least, Mya. She is a little 6 lb mini wiener dog with the cutest little face & a stubborn personality. (I think she is Italian, just like my equally stubborn hubby) She is also known as Mya Moozer, Foo Foo 2, Meerkat Mya, Speedo Torpedo, & Chili Dog.
My Passion
I love being behind the camera. . . but I bet you guessed that. I love the art of it, the storytelling, the moments. I love the details; whether it's a center piece at a wedding, a child's eyelashes, or a baby's chubby legs.
So that pretty much sums me up! Hopefully it didn't sound too much like some corny profile on a dating site.
