My 9th grade year my family decided to move to Idaho. We lived in Hollister, ID, a town so small I don't think it even had a school it had a gas station that's it. While living in Hollister we went to Buhl school. Buhl had shitty teachers and even worse people I made friends with maybe 2 or 3 people. Then to Jerome schools. I made a lot of friends but found the worst boyfriend ever. Then we moved to Jerome. Then we moved to Kimberly, Idaho and still went to Jerome School. Then we moved to Tremonton, UT.
In Tremonton things got better. I made some friends at Bear River High School. Met my love at the Burger King there. It was fun I lived in 4 different house there in just 2007. I dropped outta regular high school so I could work more. Went to Dale Young Community High School, in Brigham UT. Then in the Spring we had to move back in with my mom in Logan, UT. With no licenses and no job, and no credits I dropped outta school.
When Joey and I moved to Alabama I tried school again, dropped out my first day there. But hey at least I didn't get in a fight. I went from being in 10th grade taking 11th and 12th grade classes to being in 12th grade with no credits, because not all school accept credits from other schools. So I tried G.E.D. classes. Then my love and I moved to Wright, WY.
In Wyoming things were different. After Joey got a job and I started working, school didn't matter any more. So I stuck with being a high school drop out. Whatever, everyone has there reasons. After I got pregnant we moved back to Alabama.
Instead of trying normal school again I tried the G.E.D. classes again. I enrolled the end of June 2010, pasted my GED July 27th, got my GED in the mail August 5th, and graduated with everyone else who passed the GED on October 3rd. Instead of staying a high school drop out I decided to better myself. I didn't get my GED for anyone except myself. And the reason is because I want to become something one day. I don't know what but I knew I didn't want to be labeled a high school drop out forever.
I am a pretty laid back person. I love my friends and my family. I don't know what or who I'd be without them. My mom and my husband supported me while I got my GED. And Joey did the best of them all, he didn't push me to get it or even bring it up once, he supported every choice I made. I think it's because he knew I'd get it done. And my mom really helped because my classes were at the college campus she went to, so she made sure I was there :) And I made sure she was up every morning so she wasn't late.
I am happily married to Joey Collins! On August 4, 2008 not only did my last name change, but my life changed. I went from being Cathy Leigh Littlefield to Cathy Leigh Collins. My family got bigger, too! Now I have wonderful in-laws and a reason to travel every year! I love going to see them even though they live far away.
I love Joey so much! I don't think words will ever be able to describe my feelings for him. He's changed my life for the best, I truly believe he's the one for me. I can see us growing old together.
But right now my days consist of sitting around with my siblings and Louie, waiting for Otto to get here. Then I'll become an at home mommy/ house wife. I'm so excited!!!
