but i think i might be onto something.

I had a thought this week, two actually and i will share the other one later. But this weeks was the thought containing the following;

"Facebook breaks down the need to grow personal relationships"

Now, this is just a thought and i havent yet proven it, but i think i might be onto something.

I have been using facebook less and less lately, mainly because i have nothing really worth sharing in a "Status update" or that many witty comments to make on everyone-else's (not a word) pop culture humor. 
But i have realized that when i get together with other people i know, and are friends with on FB but never really use it either, we suddenly have just so much to talk about.
Before, it seemed like i was always grasping at topics or stories to share with people over coffee or dinner, but now i have a full arsenal to fire out over the gooey Mexican food before me.

    But i also found this only seems to work if both parties shy away from facebook. Or else, well, im listening to the same story you already posted on thesday and yes i saw that photo on your smartphone yesterday when you uploaded it.
I saw the tweet but didnt understand all the #jumbledupword @withnospacestosoundosocleveror
@orjustohidespellingmistakes
"secret codes" and jargon i missed out on while i was abroad.

This isn't to say i don't enjoy keeping up with old friends and or that i only check facebook once a week. On the contrary, i check it daily when my daughter takes a nap. And ive also recently discovered the release of SimsSocial.
I really like sims.
But i believe i will keep my interactions with those who i can jump in the car and drive 10 minutes to see relatively low, in efforts to grow my own face to face relationships and leave the digital updates for those more out of touch.

But then again, this is just a thought i had this week while watching HGTV.

It was a big jump

I can't believe how long it has been since i had the opportunity to use a real keyboard.

A lot has happened in my little life and im sorry for not sharing it with you. Or actually myself, since its primary my own conscience who reads this blog. (p.s im fine with that, i need to sort myself out sometimes and i feel bad for others who have to read it)

We have moved.
I haven't blogged because we had to cut our internet, and blogging from an iphone, while it sounds glamorous is actually really frustrating and time consuming. 

Both me and my husband have been praying about it for a long time, and we felt like God put all the pieces in order for us to move back to America.
So we did.


It was a big jump, and honestly (heres a confession) few people believed us when we told them thats what God said to do.
But we knew it 100% and in the end, all it matters is us and God.
I am so blessed.
Ive grown
Ive been hurt
Ive healed
Ive learned
Ive relaxed
Ive recovered joy
I am blessed.

For right now, we are settling in Idaho. Not my first pick, but when your walking in the will of God, nothing can compare to it.
We are staying with the in-laws until we get back onto our feet. Its been a lot of fun, and we can't wait for the first snowfall.
Rusty has received employment (!!) and has also felt the Lord leading him back to school. He will be attending in January.
He is going into Criminal Justice.
He has a passion to be a policeman.
Who knew?
Im really excited to see what God is going to do. Already we are doing a weekly bible study at a friends house, and it has been so blessed. If that is a preview to how things are going to go, i cant wait.

Also, Adelle is walking now. Kids grow up so fast.
Here is a sneek peek at Adelle's very first photos.
