Facebook

Facebook is a very interesting little thing.. It seems to get people into more trouble than do actual good.. It has the good the bad and the ugly all wrapped in a pretty box.. I find when I am out of my mind board I stock people, maybe not stock...... okay yeah I stock.. Anyways.. I like to look up people who I use to know or go to school with and see what's up with there lives.. Sometimes it makes me feel better and sometimes not so much.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't like Facebook.. I have it for who knows why.. I guess maybe only to stock people.. haha.. horrible I know.. But then I have all these privacy settings on mine so that if you aren't my friend I don't exist.. Very hypocritical I know.. Tonight I was looking at a few people.. Herbie Hall and Bjorn Carlson.. I went to high school with Bjorn and Herbie was my giant bear.. I love hanging out with the two of them.. Its just funny how things change over the years.. Or how things intertwine I guess.. Like Bjorn.. His sister Amy was my sixth grade teacher and his other sister Molly married my husbands, best friend's, brother.. Crazy.. From Dunbar even.. But yeah.. It blows me away how small this world is.. Back on track now.. So Bjorn.. During high school he was definitely one of my closest friends.. We would write notes to each other everyday.. (pretty sure I still have most of them) But yeah we just really got each other.. The one thing I remember most is the one day after youth group.. We were sitting in his truck and he said, "did you know that only one of every ten people remains a true follower of Christ as we go into adulthood".. Still to this day I think of that and hope and pray that I strive to be the one of those ten.. It's funny though because as good as friends as we use to be, he went away to college and I just felt like he thought he was too good for his old friends.. Even his best friend Herbie.. I don't talk to Bjorn anymore but I like to always look at his profile and see the things he is doing.. It looks like he has a fantastic life and is married to one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.. He looks to be living life as one from those ten.. That makes me smile..

Herbie Hall on the other hand is still my dear friend.. We didn't go to school together but I knew him through Bjorn and we went to homecoming every year.. Herbie is the friend that no matter what, will always have your back.. Even if I haven't talked to him in over a year, he is still close to me.. He taught me how to drive his Herb Mobil, He would take me out to dinner, He would even come visit me in college.. I do feel horrible though because he came to visit once and I feel like I did something to make him feel unwanted because he left.. I feel awful every time I think about it.. But anyways.. I was looking at his profile too.. He has had a good job for years now, he's married and has a new baby girl.. I am truly happy for him.. He, out of just about everyone in the world deserves the best.. He's a true friend..

So as I was stocking these two, I couldn't help but notice there wives.. Weird but true.. They are so beyond beautiful.. It makes me feel ugly.. Kendall, Bjorn's wife, well she just seems perfect.. Though I have never met her or talked to her or really know anything about her I know she is perfect.. They say pictures say a thousand words.. Well they do.. And Herbie's wife.. I have only seen one picture of her but I know she has to be one amazing woman to win the heart of Herb.. Looking at them makes me feel ..... well... ugly.. I hate Facebook right now!!
