A Bit About Me(:

Sooo, my name is Caitlin Janese Troxel, I'm 15 years young, and a sophmore at Homedale High School. I've lived in Homedale almost my whole life. Most people don't know what Homedale is, thats okay. It's a really small town in Idaho, population 2,528, but whose counting, right?
My life story could easily be published into an award winning novel.
And here it goes,
I have 5 people in my family, my mom(Teresa), dad(Joe), Chelsea, Alyssa, Me, and our dog Annabelle.


I guess it all starts when I was in first grade, life was pretty much as good as it gets for me, until I found out that I was almost blind, so I had my first surgery, my eye surgery. But now I have perfect vision, so I guess it was worth it. About a year after that I had my apendix out, then a month later, my tonsils. So I've had my fair share of hospital visits. 
Right about then is when my life really fell apart.. My parents got a divorce, my mom got remarried to a guy I didn't like, my dad got into drugs and a barely got to see him and, oh ya, my mom moved me to Caldwell, away from all of my friends and family in Homedale. In Caldwell, I went to Valley View for my 5th and 6th grade year and moved twice durring that time. My stepdad, Rick, seemed like he was good for us, but I soon realized that the only reason I really liked him was because of all of the material things that came with him being my stepdad. We ended up buying a really nice house in Nampa where it seemed to be almost perfect...key word there, ALMOST. Nothing was ever perfect..
Rick ended up leaving us and moving to Oregon for a "job". Then kinda basicly forgot about us, and we lost everything..
We moved back to Homedale, my mom working as hard as she could as a single mom with three daughters.. and during the time my mom was re-married, my dad went to rehab and got clean(:
There was this one time when my mom kinda crashed and we couldn't afford to live at the house we were living at so we went to live with my aunt Tami and her family....that lasted about a week until my mom and aunt got into this huge fight and beat eachother up.. so that night my mom took us to my dads' house so she could figure things out, and it was that night that my parents realized they still love eachother and are meant to be together, so they told us they're dating! Which made me very happy.
They got married about two years ago, and we moved again(but still in Homedale).
My dad has been clean for a long time now, I can't remember how long though. And right now everythings good(: and we're trying to buy a house.. THAT HAS AN UNDERGROUND POOL! We find out either today, or Monday if we get it(:
And that's my story...well half of it anyways.
