Challenged (A Big Deal)

A lot of things in this life challenge me.  Reaching the highest shelf is a challenge for me.  Both parallel and back-in parking are problematic.  For a long time, properly pronouncing the word “photovoltaic” proved difficult.  I am still working through my own personal spelling bee.

Last night, both Desiree and I discovered we are—as a couple—challenged by posting an event notification on Facebook.  I will you spare you the details, but I can tell you that between my computer and Desiree’s smartphone we pecked away at keyboards for nearly an hour navigating Facebook’s menus and layers.  We also placed a few phone call queries.  

Desiree and I were trying to post an invitation notification for a celebration of our union in matrimony.   We will be celebrating at our lakeshore on the 4th of July between 1:00 and 6:00 in the afternoon.  We selected Independence Day to celebrate because we want to be part of a big deal.  We want our yearly anniversary celebrations filled with fanfare and fireworks.

After much giggling, squinting, poking, and a couple bad words said aloud, we managed to get our event posted.  If we can get through a Facebook posting as a couple, I figure we can get through anything.
