I joined Facebook a few months ago, and since them, I have enjoyed it so much. I like it much better than Myspace. My favorite reason is that Facebook is for an older and mature crowd. I have found and I have been found by quite a few old friends, especially from High School..and that's like 20 years ago!! I was excited to start getting requests from names that were blasts from the past!!
Today I logged on and saw that I had a friend request from a great friend..Marcy Morris!! I was so excited because last month I was thinking about her and her husband Kindel....and was regretting losing touch with them in the past 8 years...I have known them for about 15 years and I was actually a groomsman in their wedding!! Kindel's parents were so great to me as well...I have so many great memories of the Morris family!! I have a letter that whenever I am feeling down that I pull out and read...it was a letter Kindel wrote me 13 years ago when I was feeling down, alittle insecure and kinda overwhelmed......he was so sincere, honest, and uplifting in the letter to me that I cried when I read it the first time and even now when I pull out that letter it brings a tear to my eye. That letter at the time pretty much set pace for me on how I try to treat others and do for others. It changed my outlook so much at the time and gave me a new direction.
In addition to Marcy finding me on Facebook, last month another old friend found me and emailed me...it took me by surprise because she was like a sister to me way back when, opened up to her probably so much and well, had a "crush" on her too...but anyhow, we called each other after she emailed me and it was like just yesterday that we talked, couldn't believe it had been over 13 years since we last spoke. The best part of that is that her sister lives here in Utah and is getting married August 1 and was looking for a caterer...so BAM...Brandy called her sister, her sister called me and I booked her reception for our company!
Then there are my old high school friends..Po-Sun...he is a great guy, Cassie and Julie..wow!! It was pretty cool, my friend and I were sharing stories a few weeks ago through email about an old friend named Eric Degn...we literally said in an email to each "wow, wonder how he is these days?".....do you know that LITERALLY about two weeks later I had a friend request from him???? Talk about DEJA VU!!! WOW........so anyone not with a Facebook account...I really suggest you get one....it's much better than Myspace...some positives about Facebook is... it's easy, no need to "fancy" up a page, no bulletins or spam, it has some great features like sharing books, movies, trivia, quizzes to compare with your friends and well, though I will keep my Myspace page, I don't use it too often anymore...so get up on Facebook people!!

Hey Mike I was reading your blog off of Ana's. Sorry I snooped. You are much more sensitive than I ever imagined you were.Sappy or not girl's usually like that so keep it up and you'll probably be hitched soon too. Of course I never got to know you like Ana did but she always talked nicely about you. I hope you don't mind, I just added you to my frenz and family sorry just collecting frenz since I feel like I am stuck on a Desert Island. That's right desert not deserted. If I was on a deserted Island at least I would have an ocean around me and that would be something..I have nothing...I am in Maricopa Az between nowhere and somewhere. The drive there is called John Wayne's way and weve all seen that barren western movie. hehehe
I totally agree, Mikee B! Facebook really is fun, more clean, and a great way to be reunited... Hey, Like me and You! xo Sara
