The Family that stays together texts together.

I was thinking of a funny story today as I was reminded of how 90% of my communication with my girlfriend is through texting. To me, I just thought this story would be funny to share.

As I am finishing up this blog, I want to ask, What is your opinion? Are we weaker or stronger because of our cell phones and texts messages.
