Carter and I, Oct. 2009

I think that's it for now. I'm having trouble hitting the publish post button because this is all a bit personal and some of it's kind of embarrassing for me. Do I really want the world to know these things?  Isn't that part of having a blog? It does feel a little empowering to let this all out there and not care what anyone thinks. And publish.
