Am I missing anything?

So we have been without satellite, internet and a home phone for almost 3 months now. I have to admit that I miss being able to talk on the phone in my own house and not have to repeat everything twice on account of poor cell phone reception. I also miss blogging. I think that has been the biggest change for me. I can do without TV. I have gotten so much done around my house. Currently we are at the beginning stages of a major bathroom remodel. Yippee!! We also repainted all the windows of our house and installed shutters. We did major yard work too. So there has been some very tangible results of my not having TV to sap my time and energy away. I also have read some great books. But I have missed blogging sooooo much. It was my outlet, my attempt at humor, my search for validation. I don't know if anyone read it or not but it made me feel like I was conributing something. Perhaps I should journal or as my mom suggested blog it out at home on the computer and then upload it as I have a chance. We will see.

I must say that the thing I have missed the least is Facebook. I thought I just had to have it....I knew that I would have a complete "freak out" because I wouldn't know what all my friends were doing every single second of their day. I was wrong. I have enjoyed the not knowing. Don't get me wrong...I miss being able to talk to my close friends more easily but freedom from the "I have to check it a billion times a day" has been liberating. Not saying that it wouldn't be easy to fall right back into it given the opportunity. You all know how that goes. ;)

Things at our house have been pretty good. No real complaints. My baby just turned 3 last week. Talk about making me feel old. I look into his beautiful eyes and I can still see that little newborn that loved his momma above every other person. Now he is getting to big and independent. It breaks my heart a little.

Our oldest asked Jesus into his heart last weekend. There is no greater feeling than knowing that your child loves the Lord and desires a relationship with Him. There is still much to teach him but it is the beginning. The look on his face that night will forever be etched in my memory and in my heart. He will turn 5 in a few weeks. Ok, enough about that before I start crying.

I hope to blog more but there are no promises. I still have to trek to a computer with internet access to do so.

Merry Christmas!!
