real quick

the short story about why I made our blog private is because I had a reminder of how disgusting some people are in the world and I feel like the least information about my family out there the better.

I have a blog for these reasons:

1) as a journal/scrapbook

2) to keep my family and friends updated

3) to feel validated about what I do in my life! (something about seeing it posted on a blog makes me feel like I am doing a wonderful thing :))

I feel like I can do most of these (not as much #2) with a private blog and keep details about our life away from creepy people
