Unplugging

After a long talk with Anthony, we are going to be attempting something as a family.
We find that as wonderful as technology can be, we also find that it distracts us from too much, too often. We are not ok with this. We have more important things in our lives than the internet and our phones.
We are unplugging almost completely for a week... sort of like a tech-detox... and we will see how things go from there. We may try to make a lot of it permanent, and there will be things that we definitely make permanent.

As part of me unplugging, I will be shutting off my Facebook account at the end of next week. Next Friday, I will no longer be a part of Facebook. This will be a permanent step that I feel I need to take to better myself.

I will still be reachable by phone, text, email and snail mail. (and letters in the mail would absolutely make my day... it might be fun!) If you want any of my contact information, please email me at sharianne84@hotmail.com and I will send you the info you seek.

Also, I don't want to completely keep people out of the loop with our family, so Anthony and I will be endeavoring to keep everyone interested updated on our blog. Feel free to subscribe to it to receive updates when I make them.

We don't want to cut ourselves off from everyone by any means. We just feel that it is important for our family to get away from the distractions and stress brought on by technology. We need to try to return to a simpler way of life.

I will be updating with pictures here on the blog as well. Those will not be stopped... though I admit, I can't guarantee a blog post every day or even every week... but I will update as much as I can.

Love, The Hunter Family

A note to readers

I haven't been updating as often as I'd like to be. I find that I just don't take the time to do it.
I will try to be better but no guarantees.
Keep watching for fun photos and videos (and if I can't post videos here, links to them).
We love sharing our lives with you!
