Changes

Lately, I've been doing lots of thinking.  I have decided to make some positive changes in my life. 

One of the first is, that I deleted my Facebook account.  I have found myself spending far too much time checking Facebook.  The worst part....  I'm not checking in to see what my friends are up to or making sure everyone is doing well....  I'm checking on MY statuses, MY photos, comments on MY life.....  Well, not only should I not care this much of what others think of me, but I shouldn't let anything take up that much time of my life.

The next is, I am trading in my "smart" phone, for a "less smart" phone.  I find myself checking my phone constantly and being thoroughly wrapped up in texts, emails, facebook, etc.  This is a small step :)  I am not ditching the text messaging - I couldn't live without that.  But, all of the internet is going away.

I've already changed that the time that I spend with my family, isn't sitting on the couch, but doing something where we get to enjoy each other's company.  This may include running errands, or a trip to the zoo, or a day trip, or who knows what or where our day will bring us.  My husband worked so many hours before, that his new-found abundance of time at home, is AWESOME.  I love having him around for our daughter to get to bond with him and for me to get to love on.  Now, don't get me wrong, in a perfect world, he'll work & get to spend time with us :)  But, after missing out on so much time with him and having to plan so many things around his crazy work schedule, this is very nice.

My goal will be to get on here once each week to give a brief update and possibly post pictures.  If something spectacularly awesome comes up, then I just might get on here more than once, but who knows.  If anyone ever has something to share with me, feel free to call me or email me :)

So...  The first updates....

Michael will be starting work at UPS on Monday. YAY for employment.  That will be good all around :)

Laura will be starting at daycare.  I'm a little sad about this, but I have found a Christian Pre School that will teach her about Jesus' love while teaching her the normal, letters, numbers, colors, etc.  I'm kinda stoked that she'll be getting some structured learning in :)

That's really all for now. 

Be sure to smell the roses :)
