Media Monday: Media & Friendships

This is going to have to be short and sweet because I need to get to bed. Today is the first day in several days that I have been able to get on the computer.

To me facebook friends are not always 'real' friends. I have the people that I'm close with that I actually invest time in but then there are the people that are more like acquaintances. I have thought about deleting everyone that is not really a friend but for some reason I just feel like I should keep everyone on there.

I have discovered that friendships on facebook can be good and bad.

GOOD:

Easy way to keep in contact
Easy way to stay updated with other's lives
Able to know specific ways to pray for people
Reconnecting with people from the past
Chatting with friends while doing some computer work

BAD:

Sometimes to much contact is a bad thing
Gossip can start because of the status updates
Instead of praying for people jealousy of what others have can take over
Reconnecting with the wrong people from the past (ex's that might be tempting)
Chatting instead of getting work done that needs to be done whether on the computer or in the house
Spending to much time on the computer and neglecting family

These are just a few of things that could happen with all the social media out there. Many of these have happened to me in the past but as I grew to learn about them I made changes to make sure that I'm going what is right by God and His will for me.

So check what you are doing daily/weekly/monthly and make sure that you are happy with all the choices you are making and if your not then change them. It's worth it!

I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the Three Wise Men Gifts but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that. In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
