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!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...
