Keeping Up With The Joneses

Was this too good to be true? Everything I had ever wanted in a man, I found in Mr. Jones. What do we all seek and strive for? Love, acceptance, romance, chemistry…. And of course a friendship. But was all this blinded by my need for wanting to be in a marriage and have children? Was I truly in love with this man or in love with the idea of our little picture perfect family we had created? Keeping up with the Joneses... desiring this nice house, white picket fence, 2.5 kids, love, money, and happiness!

In this day and age with technology the way it is…. So many of us strive to come across having this “perfect” life. "Look at my blog about my perfect life! Read what wonderful and amazing things I am doing with my wonderful family on facebook, myspace… twitter." Now more than ever, people are sitting around trying to keep up with the Joneses. It not even just about money anymore. It is about who has the BEST marriage (or comes across to have it). Who has adorable kids? Who gets the privilege of being a stay at home mom? Who has the nicest house? Who travels the most? Seriously, we can not get away from the need to compare ourselves to everyone else and exploit our lives in a way where we want to come across as perfect as possible.
This is not reality. And this is definitely not what this blog will be about. What you will get here is absolutely the God honest truth. No fluff, No BS, nothing but the TRUTH folks. I will tell it like it is. And maybe, just maybe, others will start living their lives more honestly and know that the truth is what sets us free!!! :)

  2. This is so true! I think all the communication avenues we have with technology make us aware of what people are doing all the time (versus pre-technology, you only knew when you actually talked to the person), which is good but you have definitely uncovered the bad. Since when do friends try and "compete"....it's so silly. Why do people have to put on a show and who do they think their fooling? Everyone marriage has their ups and downs and no one is running around smiling 24-7.....but on the communication sites like Facebook all you see is sunshine and roses, people don't want to air their dirty laundry! Why are people losing their "realness".....
