No More Facebook!

Well ,I decided this morning to deactivate my account on Facebook. I have been struggling whether or not to go through with it. I have come to the conclusion that even though it is great to connect and talk with all of your friends and family that it can be quite addicting. I found myself logging on to Facebook many times a day and spending too much idle time reading and responding. My husband came home from a priesthood meeting several weeks ago and told me that President Catlett had warned against the use of Facebook and other things of this nature. I started to pay closer attention to myself and the amount of time I was on Facebook. It was very alarming. I had sudden urges to go and check my Facebook account all of the time (this is called an addiciton NOT GOOD). I feel that I need to spend more time doing useful things like reading my scriptures, the Ensign, focusing on my calling, and most of all spending quality time with my kids. I also came to the conclusion that my blog is a great way to connect with others. I usually post something twice a month not twice a day. I know that President Catlett is a man of God and I should follow his council. I will be a better person for it. I felt that I needed to post my concerns with Facebook to any of you out there that might be experiencing the same things.

Fireplace by Gregg

I wanted to post this to show the creativeness that my husband has. He wanted a place for DVDs so he built cubbies on both sides. The TV and other components will set on top of the mantle. Soon we want to put marble around the insert. No entertainment center to take up space in the room is great. The house is still a work in progress. Hopefully SOON!
