Turning it off!

So today at church we had a wonderful speaker who talked about Facebook! Yes, facebook while at church. The talk was more over turning off the television and logging off facebook. Are we not doing service work because we don't have the time because we are using our time online and in front of the television. So all day today I been thinking about how I spend my time and what I could be doing instead of facebooking all day!


So here is my goal starting Tomorrow Monday the 17th. That when Beka is awake I will not be online or turn the television on. That includes turning the tv on to get her out of my hair. I plan to use my days to clean my house, do more crafts and learning activities with Beka, crafts, baking, and cooking. Sounds good these are all things that I should have been doing all alone but instead I sit on the couch and stay on facebook. So I think that is a good goal. I will be online after she goes to bed I feel like that should be my time and time for me. So I will just start with when Beka is awake which is normal 9am to about 9pm. So wish me luck and I hope this works out and I find myself enjoying doing more.

PS Tomorrow I am going shopping in Savannah with a friend so I will succeed tomorrow! YAY! But on that note I am beginning to plan and get things together for the HOMECOMING!!!

Camp Out!

Well, this week a couple of friends from the ward whose husband are also deployed decided to do a lady and kids camp out. While we have all been camping before it was a first for all of us to do it without husbands. I was kinda excited but nervous knowing it was going to be 3 ladies and 5 kids, but it was wonderful. It was so nice to be outside and away from the computer and cell phones and just relax. I was proud of us and of me. I did alot of stuff I have not done alone or even since girls camp like 11 years ago. My husband wonder if I would be able to set up a tent alone and not starve, or even sleep at night...since I am scared of the dark. I have to say I am proud to know that I can set up our tent and take it down all alone. That we were able to start a fire and keep it going to cook food and also put it out. So I am proud to say we survived and had a lot of fun. The only negative was that early in the morning it got really cold but we were not prepare with trick blankets, jackets or pants. So in the morning we were kinda or really cold. So next time we will bring more clothes. But, other then that it was fun and hope to do it again.


Here are some pictures from the trip!
