About

I’m Caity, and this is my blog. I live in a little studio apartment on Long Island, New York with my husband, Josh and my cat, Moko. We are currently looking to move overseas to New Zealand, where my kiwi husband and his New Yorker gal belong. I am a teacher, an amateur photographer, a singer, a gamer, and a wannabe kiwi.

I’m a college graduate with a major in Mathematics. I am certified to teach secondary mathematics is New York State but due to the poor job market, I’m currently a permanent substitute for this school year. I still really enjoy my job a lot and consider myself very fortunate that am able to work in the profession that I enjoy.

As for my love life, I’m more than set. Josh and I met in 2005 playing World of Warcraft. Our internet courtship eventually led to Josh moving over here from his home in New Zealand to be with me. Josh and I plan to move back to New Zealand in the next year or two. I recently obtained my New Zealand teaching certification and am seeking employment over there. Oh, and we also had a pretty awesome wedding. Our anniversary is June 26.

One of my greatest talents and hobbies is music. I have been studying music since the age of five, when I started piano lessons. I went on to take private vocal lessons at the age of 8, and also learned to play the viola, flute, guitar, and harmonica. I have participated in numerous local events, all-state choirs, and various theatrical plays. I am currently employed by two different Churches where I am paid to cantor (sing) at Mass, as well as weddings and funerals.

Here is a video of me singing the Ave Maria at my wedding:

In my spare time, I obviously also love to blog. Playing video games is another love of mine. I have a weak spot for RPGs but I’ll try anything. I also love to take pictures. I treated myself to a Canon Rebel XSi and I’m constantly trying to learn to take better photos.

I love life. I love to inspire. I love to be inspired.
I try to always have a twinkle in my eye and a song in my heart.
