Facebook Fast
Ok so this month started out with a Facebook fast! I have
been wanting to do it for a while but couldn’t quite sum up the courage. Then I
saw this video
that’s it! I'm doing it! There’s no excuse for missing out on my baby’s growing up just because I was glued to a device. Since the fast I have been outside more, I have taken more pictures, and enjoying more growing moments! It’s been wonderful! It sometimes makes me wonder if I was missing out on anything else. But rather than dwell on that I just continue to play and grow and make time for more important things! Join me and do it too! Get up and be a part of life! Ok so I'm not 100% perfect! How am I supposed to show off all my cute pictures of Maggie and tell you about all the wonderful things going on! And how am I supposed to keep tabs on you, and the amazing things in your life. I guess I could call! I miss hanging out with you
I saw this info-graphic and the last part, “What would we
do without facebook” is so true!

We used to talk about life we used to hang out! We used to
spend time together! Now we post about life, we like, we Share, and comment. Life
is a social network! When was the last
time you socialized? When was the last time you talked to the person next to
you in a long line? Or on the bus?
I remember I went to a Session of General conference in Salt Lake. I had to take the bus home and I sat in a row by myself and pulled out my phone to start facebooking and other stuff when I heard “anyone have room for an extra…mumble mumble… person?” come from the front of the bus I figured he was just looking for an empty seat so I raised my had and a nice looking guy took a seat and proceeded to talk with me about conference and life and how excited he is to be here and talking and talking! (I was wrong) turned out he was looking for someone with an empty seat who was willing to have a great conversation with a chatty person. I couldn’t believe this guy! It was like being stuck on a plane next to the guy who wouldn’t shut up! But, I just had a good conference and I wasn’t about to let this ruin my day so I made polite conversation and we actually hung out afterwards! It was so much fun! I missed that!

Then I met Jonathan! When we first met he was playing a
single player video game and I was waiting for his roommate to come home so we
could go hang out. I was about to give up waiting and go home when Jonathan
turns off his game and asked me out for a cupcake. “Sure, why not! I've got
nothing better to do.” And it was true. I had fun! We talked and dated and fell
in love and now we have a beautiful daughter! And we still talk and have fun
and fall in love all over again and again!
