Facebook Official????? Really???

So, I left you hanging with a "To be continued"...... And it has...continued, I mean.

Today, as I was riding around with my kids, I was enjoying the silly banter that my oldest daughter was taking part in (with my boyfriend) via text. Yes, I said boyfriend...(smile on my face). It was nice to see that she was comfortably chatting away with him (even if it was a great debate over the color orange and the teams it represents) I seized the opportunity to talk to her a bit about the relationship I have with Brian. It amazes me how different things are now as opposed to years ago when speaking of a dating relationship. I spoke about the fact that we aren't dating anyone else, that we are "exclusive", "an item", "going steady". She just looked at me, and I wondered if I had said too much, or merely made her uncomfortable with the discussion of her mom dating again. Her stare became a smile as she thought it funny the terms I used to describe mine and Brian's relationship. I laughed, and asked her what it is called "these days". (Ouch, that makes me feel old!) Her response was that we are ...............................Facebook Official.......................what?????

LOL..How funny that in this day and time, Facebook Official is the term for boyfriend/girlfriend status! So here it is folks...I am not "going steady" or "exclusively dating" someone.....Brian and I are "Facebook Official". I wonder what else they have changed???????????
