A couple of months ago I decided to become a Facebook enrollee. I have always been very hesitant with putting my life out there for everyone to see and read about, besides that those sites seem somewhat immature to me. Even a blog has been challenging. I am constantly wondering,"Do I say that, do I let people know about this". You hear about stalkers on the internet. Well anyways, I made the decision to do it because this year will be my twenty year high school reunion.(time sure has flown) Since I graduated I hadn't made alot of effort to keep in touch with high school friends.(I wasn't hanging out with the best influences, sorry mom) I have thought about some of my member friends many times over the years and have seen a few of them occasionally. When we moved to Las Vegas ten years ago I pretty much lost contact with all of them, except for Christmas cards.
So I figured that with the reunion coming, I better start making some contacts so I could remember people when I saw them. Boy, I don't think I was prepared for how much people change.! Some I can't hardly remember and the ones I do, really look different. I'm sure they are thinking the same thing when they see my picture. In high school my hair was all the way down my back and of course the BIG bangs were the thing. The people who partied are still hitting the bars. I don't really have anything in common with any of my non-member friends. None of them have 6 kids that's for sure. In fact some have even made some comments that I could have taken offense to but could really care less. Some are still very .....how do I describe it... HIGH SCHOOLISH! I will say I have enjoyed finding lost friends and it has made me realize how grateful I am to be lds and have the morals and values that I do.

So funny Camille because I was having these EXACT thoughts last week. I completely agree with you. Facebook is a funny thing - I initially joined to reconnect with some member friends we had growing up as teenagers but sure enough alot of high school friends have found me. Hardly any of them have settled down and they are still hanging out together drinking and can't believe I have 4 kids. We are definitely blessed aren't we?
P.S. Do you guys have a definite moving date?
Heidi, my kids keep asking me that too. I wish I knew a date. We should know in the next week or so. The not knowing is killing me!!!
I finally gave in and got a facebook page too. I've too been shocked that so many people are doing much of the same. I'm really grateful for the life that I have. I'm glad at least a few of my choices have given me peace I wish some of these fools had. : )
It is funny to reconnect with people from high school on facebook. Like you said, some haven't changed, but others you are like, who ARE you???
Keep us posted on your move. Sad to see you guys go, but I'm sure you are ready to be with Rich full time again. Let me know if you need any help.
