Our solution, and some other bits and pieces

If you read my previous post you know that I was going back and forth about my feelings for facebook.

I talked to my husband last night and we came up with a solution. We rarely immediately agree on anything btw so this was rather impressive. We both agree that facebook is a huge time waster but it gives us an easy and great way to stay connected with our loved ones. So what did we decide?

Well... we're deleting facebook. Not right away though. We are going to delete them once he returns home from this deployment. It's the easiest way for him to be able to see pictures of our daughter and I don't want to take that away from him. I could send them in an email but he says that downloading them takes forever.

Anyways, back to our decision. I have posted on my status that I will be deleting my facebook once he returns home and if anyone wants to stay in contact with us they should message me for my information. If people want to stay connected with us then they will put in the effort to email, write letters, call, or read my blog. I'm tired of facebook being such a time consuming part of my life. It's really pathetic and I'm putting my foot down.

Mr. Sykes and I will be cutting down our computer time and replacing it with more quality time as a family. We have to set an example for our daughter if we want her to understand that there is so much more to life than the internet.

I will however still have this blog. Our loved ones will be able to stay updated and see pictures of Abigail on here so I didn't want to cut them off completely. And it's not just me who posts on here anymore. There will be times when you get a post from Mr. Sykes as well.

So here is my first step in rebelling against facebook. I openly admit that I'm addicted and I hate that I am. Goodbye facebook, hello fresh air and family time! (In 9 months or so of course).
