Connecting with Friends

One of my goals for not being on social media during lent was to connect better with people. The week before spring break I thought I did that pretty well.

I started by skyping with my sister. We don't skype much, but when we do I really enjoy it. I heard all about her spring break trip to City Lights in St. Louis. I loved hearing about her trip and seeing the similarities between what she experienced and what I did. It really made me miss being in St. Louis and was just great to remember what I learned while there. Also to think about how much my faith has grown since then and also the areas where it hasn't changed much and where I could use some growth.

DG's internet is also slow at times so I had a little trouble pausing in awkward places and such. Somehow Carina gave me the idea to take some screen shots of her making strange faces. I told her I'd put them on the blog so I have to do it.

Later in the week I went over to Michelle's to chat about life. I hadn't really talked to her in what felt like forever. I had mostly been keeping up with her life via her blog. I miss living with her and our more frequent chats, but it was great to go over to her apartment and talk. I found out about the things she's been up to-the job interviews, etc. It was just great to talk.

I love talking with my friends and family and learning about what is going on with their lives.
