So one of the reasons I left Facebook was because I found myself getting wrapped up in it. I found myself jealous of other people. I was jealous of the ones who had jobs, houses, going on vacation, and I didn't like feeling that way, beacause that is so not who I am.. This past Saturday I was pondering my life after William, my sister and I attended the Temple, and the thought came to me to get rid of Facebook. At first I didn't think anything of it, but Sunday morning it came to me again as I was starting my fast. That was something hard for me, but I wasn't going to ignore a feeling I had..So Sunday night I deactivated my account on the hopes of one day after we got a job returning to my so called social web outlet..I would be lying if I said I miss it, but I have found myself a little bit happier. Over the past year has been such a trial for both William and myself. It has been a roller coaster of feelings, events, both happy and sad! Last October I had a desire to have a better relationship with William, so I prayed that I would rather have a better relationship with my husband than a job. I started getting worried when we had interviews but no jobs, but I remembered how I had prayed for this and to be grateful for it. Because it truly was an answer to my prayers. I cannot imagine my life without my husband, our love has grown for each other over the past year, instead of apart like when trails do affect people. I find myself truly happy with my role in my life, as a wife, as a mother, and as a daughter of God! At times I just smile thinking I have it all, we might not have money, or a job, but we have each other and that is what matters! I know that the Lord is mindful of each of us, I know he answers prayers in his time, I know that he loves me, and my family and that is what matters nothing else! Someday we will have a job, a house, and even I will be able to go on a vacation and put my toes in the sand, but for right now we have all that we need, each other! And every now and then I need to remind myself that really I do have it all, my precious family and extended family!

Love it Michie!! I love the little nudges in life. And social media adds an interesting dimension to life that we can do without sometimes!
Hi!
My name is Julie. I am moving to Oxford Ohio this week to be a visiting professor. I am not sure if you are still in Oxford. I was wondering if you could connect me with the Relief Society president or Bishop? I was just offered the job so it is a very fast move for me. I am from Minneapolis, MN. My email is juliemcousins at gmail. Thanks so much.
Julie
You are an inspiration. I heard on the news just this morning that facebook makes you sad. You already knew that. I am starting to think the same way about facebook. I love you and your little family and hope to see you soon.
I love you!
