Social Networking less!

So, as most of my readers have figured out by now. I am closing my Facebook account. This is part of a challenge for myself. Though, I could use the excuse that all my family is on there, everyone has my phone number or email (Melkasal@yahoo.com).
I have been trying to do better for my own health and hubby is on board. We have been looking toward the future and wanting to be prepared to be healthier parents if the time were to ever approach us. Since hubby had eliminated most social networking (mostly Facebook), I thought I would take the challenge as well. Realistically, this is a place where I blog my thoughts and that is all I need. If people are so interested in my life they can call or message me. We all know just because they are on facebook doesn't mean they are your friends saying.,, Well, this makes me take it to the challenge. Those who want to keep contact can and those who never did, won't!
I am excited to take this challenge and hope many more will attempt to follow. As we have gone over a year without cable, I'm guessing I can live without this as well. I promise, I'm not going crazy, we have just realized how much FAMILY time we have given ourselves. We don't feel obligated to watch out tv shows on schedule because we don't have any! This feel less stressful...
So, if this is one of the things anyone can do, I encourage it. Television and social networking seem to be taking up a lot of family time.... Now if I can have hubby cut back on his movie reviews! Buahahaha!

Family photo's from October

These are family photo's we had done in October 2011. I'm sure we are due for some new photo's since we have both been working on our "healthier" selves!
