Remembering Judson Cavalier

We all remember that fateful day – September 11, 2001. When I saw the footage on tv, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I broke down and cried for all the people whose lives were cut short that day – people just like Judson Cavalier.

Bonus Self Portrait

Since I looked like such a dork in the last self portrait, I decided to post a bonus photo. This one was taken on the same day as the other - last Friday.

It’s Self Portrait Challenge time again! The theme for September is With Someone. I thought it only fitting that I post a photo of me with my boyfriend for the first week.

Weekend #7 With Brico

I had another wonderful weekend with Brico. Saturday evening was made up of alone time, dinner, and an attempt at watching Cinderella Man. Brico fell asleep a good two minutes into the movie, so I decided that we’d watch it the next day. Since Brico is such a big fan of Russell [...]
