Now for the news. Rachel and I are NOT in a relationship. We are in a friendship but not a dating relationship. Last Friday we were both arriving at a friends wedding reception and our dear former Mission Presidents Wife, Sister Evanson thought we were in a relationship. Thus we move to Sunday morning before church. With the assistance of another Friend "Elissagator" we thought we would play with a few minds from the mission and change our Facebook status to "in a relationship." We intended to only mess with a few minds, however it was such a fun drug reading and seeing how many people Facebook monitor us. Don't take it personal, like I said we loved the positive feedback :-)
So we are NOT dating.
However let me get to the point of why we kept it going a few extra days and were so secretive to our friends and never commented back on your comments. Seriously this just goes to show you how out of control social media has become. It was amazing to see how many commented on changed statuses so quickly. For example there were comments left in less than 5 minutes! How many of us have our updates sent directly to our phones so that when we are away from our mac or pc can be up to date on the news? I am for one not exempt from this but have began the process of de-social-media-atising myself unless it will promote my photo biz or massively important info. There are things that will never go on Facebook or other outlets like such. Rachel and I both agree that we will never post personal information like relationship info you will get the info directly from us when we are in our own perspective relationships if they were to change into anything more than dating.
Another concept that we should think about is how much do we really know our friends anymore? We see pictures and updates but don't personally interact with them as much anymore. Now while we can use social media for positive things we have gotten to far out of hand. Every phone has a built in app for such said sites anymore, not to mention the ones you can download.
Just some food for thought.
I CAN NOT STRESS THAT WE DID NOT INTEND TO HURT ANYONE THAT WAS GENUINELY HAPPY FOR US. WE LOVE YOU GUYS THE MOST!

Hurray for you guys doing this. I knew I better get a personal phone call if something was going on. Sounds like the wedding was so much fun in a lot of ways. Love you .
Good old Andrew! It kinds of reminds me of the time we trick some out here a long time ago. Those were soe fun Alias days! Good luck with everything! Hey we are almost done with our house, you'll have to stop by sometime when you are out here.
Gawdun. I was a doubter. But, probably because I saw you the day before and knew you weren't together. Don't hate on the doubters! If you really were together I would support you. :)

Amen and amen.
I feel like you quoted me. ;) Perhaps great minds just think alike.
