I h...Janelle, <BR/> I have a huge confession to make. I have been lurking on your blog for AGES!<BR/> Here is the whole sordid tale.<BR/>Jaime Clemmer and Jack McKinley are some of my dearest friends! Jaime is actually the one that turned me on to blogging. If it weren't for her I never would have started blogging in the first place. Once I started one, she spent hours on the phone with me giving me blogging tutorials.<BR/> I had no idea about the etiquette of blogging but...right before I began blogging I saw a comment on Jack and Jaime's blog that by someone named Janelle. I thought "Janelle" might have been a Janelle that I knew, so I clicked on the name (because I noticed as I got the mouse close to the name it changed color-I had no idea the in's and outs of lurking, then) and your complete profile came up. Then I saw the name of your blog at the bottom...Being total novice, I decided to click on the name of the blog and up came your fabulous blog. I have been lurking so long that...the first post I read of yours was about Spencer doing yard work for a General Grevious (sp?) toy. Your template was black the first time I lurked. I was instantly SO impressed with your writing and I became an avid lurker. One day I read a masterful, witty post about how you were concerned with the "say no to drugs", esp. marinara :),training being offered at your children's school. It was so well written and I noticed it mentioned to check out, "Paige". It was honestly innocent (at first)...and it happened organically, but I clicked on the name, "Paige" because I noticed it was highlighted.(I knew nothing about linking then) That then took me to her blog and I began lurking on your blog, and Paige's blog. I confessed everything to Jaime and she laughed and told me I was known in the blogging world as "a lurker". I kept wanting to confess, but I was concerned that you would think that I was a total weirdo AND I felt like it might be even more of an intrusion because you and Jack and Jaime are actually, real friends. Then I noticed a woman commenting on Paige's blog named Jessica Romney. I began lurking on her blog, too and I finally confessed to her that I had been lurking because she left her e-mail address on on of her posts. I complimented her on her awesome blog... and, mentioned how I had come to read it, and mentioned how Paige's blog is hilarious, as well. They all welcomed me into their little family and I have loved every minute of it.<BR/> Here is the sad part! I have been lurking on your blog forever. and been meaning to contact you. I would chicken out each time I tried because, I just felt like I was poaching on Jaime and Jack's close, personal friends. Here is the total IRONIC part...just last night as I read your latest post, I decided I was just going to confess my lurking and come out of hiding but...I was feeling really, ill...so I went to bed resolved that I would contact you in the morning (HONEST!!!!). Well, I am up now (in the middle of the night, I woke up 1:30a.m. feeling SERIOUSLY ill ) and read your comment!!!! How ironic!! I just feel really badly that I had been lurking so long. (At Christmas time I was going to send you a card and confess everything because I got your home address off of the "Blogging Confidential" Blog, but then I didn't get around to it with the Christmas madness!) So...I think you are a fantastic writer and I love your blog and THANK YOU SO MUCH for contacting me!!!!! I have known Jaime for years. My little brother was one of her best friends in High School and I dearly love Jaime and Jack. (I am about a decade older than Jaime). We moved from Virginia 2 years ago for my husband to start a new job and I miss them like crazy. <BR/> So...I have read most of your blog and I love your home renovations!!!!! I also love the newborn picture of your baby girl getting a bath. So sweet! That is a great picture! I have 3 boys so I loved your post about the joy of having a girl, too! <BR/> Seriously, thank you so much for contacting me!!!! Sorry, I am rambling a bit but I have the stomach flu and feel a little loopy right now.<BR/> What is so funny is I get comments from strangers now, and I don't freak out so, that is another reason I decided I would come out of hiding. <BR/> So, since I have had your blog in my favorites for so long I am going to comment on your posts now :D It is good to be out of hiding! <BR/> Blogging is an interesting phenomenon...My favorite missionary companion just started a blog and one of her best friends knows Jack's sister. It is weird how the blogging world isn't that big! <BR/>Thanks again for writing me!<BR/>LaurenLauren in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182008314143458272noreply@blogger.com
