We finally got the Internet! I went through some serious withdrawals. Not surprising considering the fact that I have worked full time in the IT field for the past 4 years. ... I've actually never had the Internet at home- my inbox was a ball and chain for at least 40 hours a week, so I did without whenever I could. However, now so much of my life and relationships have been effected by not having facebook birthday reminders, status updates, and relationship changes (you have no idea how many of my friends went from "in a relationship" to "engaged" since I've been away from the IT world)... Oh! and I am behind so many days on so many blogs (I really had to pick and choose which entries I had time to read on my quick trips to the local coffee shop with free wifi) and not to mention, my poor brain has suffered! I would be rich if I had a dime for every time I said "...-it's okay, I'll just Google it" and by the time I got to the free wifi- forgot I even had something to Google!
Needless to say, this will be therapeutic for me.
Facebook has changed so much since I've been gone. I never took the time to explore when I was out. There was always something that kept whispering "hurry" in my ear when I was trying to enjoy free wifi. Anywho, I'm really liking the lists. I have officially created 2 lists. The first one is of my closest friends- the only real reason I have facebook. That way, they don't get lost in the mix of all the other people I had a class or two with from college. The second one is for our youth group. That way, I can keep an eye on what they're doing if they've been acting suspicious... hehe.
Oh! Did you notice my new template? I don't know if I like it. I like green, I love tulips, and I love the layout... but I'm not crazy about how ordinary it is. Too bad I'm not creative.
Guess what! I started taking Yoga. That's right! A week ago today! I'm going twice a week. In the middle of the second class I went to, I told myself to not take it up as a hobby. Cause it's kinda hard... Then I realized something I don't like about myself- I tend to give up very early in the game on stuff that isn't necessary and doesn't come naturally to me. ... I can only imagine how many other non-responsibility things I have missed out on because of that. SO, I'm doing it. I don't care how hard it is, how stupid I feel, how sore I get, or how many times I fall over- I'm doing it until my schedule doesn't allow me to. I realized that I only push myself when it comes to what I deem "responsible" or "necessary". I'm so boring! (That will soon be changing).
By the way, the new year for us reminds us we have a week until our anniversary! We just celebrated our first anniversary. It was great! We went to the mountains, roasted marshmallows over a fire, enjoyed a jacuzzi, and even a beautiful hike. It was wonderful. There is something affirming about having a year of marriage under your belt. They say the first year of marriage is the hardest- I'm hoping their true. So far, I'd have to concur. I don't know if the pressure is off, or what, but so far, our second year has been amazing ;)
Anyway, I've written a lot of mumbo-jumbo because I'm that excited about having the Internet back. I should be more organized in the posts to come. If you made it this far- thanks for reading! :p
