Dear comments, I bid you adeu.

Every year when I come to AZ I am always edified and uplifted by my parents. This year I am taking with me the new desire to stop caring what other people think, and focus more on what God thinks. So my first big step is to distance myself from the evils and temptations of the all mighty Internet. I think it should be addressed in conference how destructive the Internet can be to women, not just men. Although we are not spending our time looking at pornography I do think we spend way to much time with blogs, facebook, and for myself, online window shopping. So my first step to free up my time and help me tone down the narcissism is to remove the comments option from my blog. I want to thank my friends who I haven't seen or talked to in years who have been so loyal in leaving words of encouragement, support and praise, but I have got to stop wanting that in my life. I'm not going to lie, I have said many times "This would make a great blog post." And I need to start thinking along the lines of "this would make a great journal entry, or better yet, memory for my children." So if you have questions or do want to comment about something, you can reach me on facebook, I'm not disappearing from the world. But I am trying to take baby steps from the evil distractions that the Internet has over my life. I will also be committing to not driving with my cell phone turned on. I need to focus more on the road and less on my social game so that I can keep my most precious treasures in life safe and sound. I feel liberated already!!!!
