Return Missionary Friends

Return Missionary friends. Interesting people and different people in a good way... but... it is still weird sometimes to integrate our lives together. I can only imagine what integrating a relationship with one of them would be like. I am so glad though that these boys get to serve missions (and soon I'll have girl friends serving missions who are home). Anyways, they learn so much and get to be enveloped in a wonderful culture of the spirit 24/7. Living like that seems impossible, but not when you are on an LDS mission. It is such a blessing for every aspect of their lives, and the people who's lives they touch. The last missionary buddy of my friends that were a year older then me comes home on Tuesday. It is crazy to think how quickly time has gone by. I'm excited though to have all of us back together again and see what is in all of our futures.

For the last few days we have been moving Paul and Danielle into their home in Mt. Green in the Ogden area. Their house is super nice, and it is very exciting the stage of life that they are in. Paul is a legitiamate doctor with his name on a sign and everything. (Pictures to come later). It is super exciting to see him really begin his life's work... And they couldn't be more pleased with the road that has taken them to where they are right now in Mt. Green. So I want to say a huge CONGRATS to Paul and Danielle Family. You guys are super people and wonderful examples to me. Love you and GOOD LUCK in your new place and job. :)

Facebook... Can we as a society ever escape it?

So I walk into the library to print off a paper for my next class, and I decide to take a look at what other people are doing on their computers. Facebook. Of course. What else would a hard working BYU student be doing? As many of you know, I am re-taking American heritage and because of this, I am gaining again so much more insight into why people do the things they do. Why do I blog? Because for me, it is a social outlet and a way to organize my thoughts. Maybe this is why people become obsessed with FB. I thankfully am not, and don't intend on ever being obsessed. If it werent for my out of state friends, I would drop my facebook page in a second. Everyone says they don't love facebook, but secretly you do. You love to look at people's pictures and creep on their status and friends. Secretly you can't wait for a moment where you can change your status to what 'amazing' thing happened to you. My personal and honest opinion on the subject? The world has gotten too technologically dependent for everything from going to the bathroom to having relationships with people. I am perplexed by how quickly society accepts new technology and can't seem to find a way to live without it. I'm glad I have facebook because my best friends are on there and I can see what they are up to. I love having pictures from trips when I forget my camera or whatever. But as far as actual socalizing goes? I could definitely live without it, and I believe we should try to as a society. Now... I'm curious to know what your opinions are on the subject of facebook.... :)
