As most of you know, I gave up Facebook for Lent. I had Matt log in for me once, and take care of something, and that was it. I happened to see that I had 194 updates and 3 messages. In just two weeks! People, that's just crazy. It's been clear to me for these last few weeks that I spend WAY too much time on Facebook. After the end of March, I'm going to keep it off of my phone. I'm spending more time getting things done, quality time with my family, and my life feels much simpler.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it's harder to keep in touch with people. There are a few that I only connect with on Facebook, like Lena. I miss sharing photos with those closest to me, especially of Wesley. But Matt updates me on the big stuff, like our college acquaintance getting a new position in Seattle (Congrats, Louis!). I continually tell him to be on the look out for an update regarding a friend of ours expecting a new baby. I know I'm missing a lot. But then, I also cannot keep in touch with 650 people. I think I'm going to have to remove quite a few people from my friends list, even though I know who everyone is, I don't talk to or keep up with all of them.
Wesley is doing great. He's crawling all over the place, I spend much of the day just chasing after him. He's interested in everything, pulls himself up wherever he can, and has started walking side to side when he's pulled himself up on the couch or coffee table.
I cannot believe I'm going to have a one year old as of Sunday. CRAZY!!

Aaww, miss you too on FB but hey, at least I now one dedicated reader of my blog who comments!!! Can't wait to finally meet Wes in person in a few weeks.
I gave up personal use of the internet during business hours for Lent and don't have time for it in the evenings so I am feeling you. It is freeing and is definitely a life improvement overall. But I do have some ideas for how to utilize it on a limited basis to get what you want out of it without it taking over your life. Let's talk soon!
