In the beginning of 2012, Facebook started allowing users to switch to a new format known as Timeline. I like that idea from the get-go because most of us (if not all) like telling or hearing a story.
Celebrating the same birthday as Facebook is fun and this year, Mark and his team presented me (and over 1 billion users who has set their account to selected languages) with a movie; one that looks back at my life (on Facebook).
Not everyone likes their Facebook movie but I do mine. I would edit some of the photos (and that option is now available) but allow me to be a nerd and comment on the ones I would not change.

I like M&Ms, which explained my profile picture back in 2007. |

FIRST MOMENT: A dear friend and brother, Cody Lorance with his family. They have moved to Chicago and they loved the Oklahoma State Fair. This was an image created for their son to hunt for Blue’s Clue. |

So Mark, thank you for telling my story and allowing me to capture mine (through timeline, albums, and whatever you and your team come up with down the road). We all have a story to tell … it’s what we tell and how we tell it.
