Facebook status! Or whoever I meet next.
Usually me mum. She’s right next door anyway.
Oh yeah thats easy… Mom. Once that happens, the rest of my family will soon know, guaranteed!
My mom or dad. That’s an interesting question that my friends and I just talked about at our bible study this weekend. When we ‘need’ something, I feel like i can sometimes be so quick to go to God with something. But, when I’m thankful for something, and have good news, I feel like I want to go run and tell someone else…hmm
My mom. Then I might text my closest friends if I know I won’t be seeing them soon. I prefer to tell people in person, though.
Depends on the type of news… Most often, my two best friends first. Then Mom (she’ll tell Dad, if he doesn’t get on the phone with us). And then my sister.
Sometimes a mass e-mail is the quickest way.
My Mom followed by my pastor’s wife and a few good friends.
Usually my mom and then everyone else via Facebook.
The person it’s relevant to or the person who was in the battle with me (if I got a new job and they prayed with me and advised me). Most times, I call my mother.
Usually my dad since he is available to answer his phone 24/7 due to the structure of his job. However, today I had huge news (I matched with an internship site, which is a HUGE deal in clinical psych) and I contacted my accountability partner first followed by a facebook notification and an e-mail to my parents since it was 5:30 AM when I found out.
It depends, if its something I want everyone to know, I tell my mom and for sure everyone will find out within the hour
otherwise my two best friends then anyone who may care 
I def. tell my mom first then sister, then dad, then everyone else!
most likely my mom or dad and then my friends through a call or email!!!
Mum and Dad first then my brother and other family and friends.
My roommate and parents, then facebook status update.
My best girl friends, definitely. But it’s been a while since I’ve had that big of news, I think. I was pretty excited to get a greeting card contract the other day, but just bragged to the friends I ran into that day.
My best friend. Always. She lives next door, so it’s easy.
It depends on the type of news. If I’m sick or hurt (or hospitalized) I call my DAD (or mentor/boss) b/c my mom worries excessively over sick kids.
For news about athletic adventures or work, I’ll call my dad.
If I’m sad, I avoid people who will demand daily updates (not sure why), if I’m stressed I go to God first and tell others after I’ve had a day or two to send time focusing on God and his character.
Typically my brother and sister and dependent on the news, facebook status.
Usually I tell my younger sister and best friend first, followed by my parents.
I am with the 10 or more people that put Mom! Mom is usually a great supporter and encourager so its always exciting to tell her news first!
My Mom and Dad, with Mom probably answering the phone. She’s definitely one of my best friends. After that, it’s my sibilings and close friends.
I generally contact my mom first and then my close friends as many others have noted already.
Usually my twin sister. We share everything. If she’s not available I’ll tell Mom and then Facebook.
Facebook sure makes telling the news faster. 
My mom and then my dad and the rest of my family.
I call my best friends, then email my family.
It’s a toss up between my mom and my two best friends. Probably my mom first since I live with her and then my best friends.
God!
