As some people were deciding that Facebook was stupid and they were going to delete their account, I was joining Facebook :). Story of my life--I succumb to technology just as it is becoming uncool or there is something newer and better coming along. Now, a few years later, there are times that I want to quit Facebook too. If I made a list of the top 5 time suckers for me, Facebook would definitely be on it. But I tell people all the time that it is totally worth it for me because it allows me to connect to these ladies in this picture in a way that I was never able to before Facebook. I have become more a part of their every day lives than I was ever able to. I may still only see them 1-3 times a year, but I get to daily see what is happening with them through pictures, status updates, and silly quotes that they find special or amusing. I get to discover their interests and hobbies. In some small way, I get to live life with them. Because of this, Facebook will always be worth the hassle.
But it is during these special times that I get to see them face to face. To find out wedding dates, hear fun kid stories, have someone discover that they know the "perfect man for me" after a statement about cheese curds, see fun shoes live and in person, get hugs and smiles, feel a connection, and find out that some people might have a slight addiction to all things lip balm related. And start an intervention. And laugh. And laugh. And cry because I'm laughing so hard.
I love you girls and am thankful that you are part of that fun, crazy group I call Family!
