Today I would like to honor a man named John who desrcibes himself as a fan of the "sisters of the Relief Society blogging club". He likes our blogs - don't you like him already! I actually don't know him that well, but I know he and his beautiful wife, Elizabeth, are great friends with Steven and Mindy. I know he is a smart aleck and that he may leave smart aleck comments on your blog, especially Mindy's. If you ever do get a smart aleck comment, know that it is from him, because we sisters of Relief Society blogging club wouldn't ever leave comments like that, of course! But be nice to him because he needs to get baptized and become a Mormon, right Mindy. We don't want to scare him off. In fact, we sisters can all join together and support him in his efforts to start his own blog. He may not be as inciteful or witty as we are, but he may surprise us. I was impressed and touched by his recent comment on my To Blog Or Not To Blog entry. Listen to this. He wrote,
"...As an aside, blogging is a great way for others, especially me, to get to know you and your family that would otherwise never, ever, ever happen, especially when you move from place to place.Your "fear" of blogging is equally true for those people who post comments. People who read your blog may think they don't have anything interesting to add or may not be able to voice their thought correctly. This is true even though they liked what you wrote/said and wished they could add something to give you feedback or appreciation.As far as pictures go, yeah, yeah your kids are adorable. Keep those pictures coming but include more family pictures. Husband, wifey, AND kids. Not altogether, but separate, or altogether - whatever. So many of the blogs just have kids, kids, kids, kids. Which is fine but, especially for me, I wonder what the parents look like and where are the pictures of them and what they are doing.Anyway, moral of the story is, you should keep rocking the blogging party. *disclaimer* - I am just a relief society blogging club stalker so take what I say with that grain of salt. :)I was going for the longest post but I don't think I can beat Natalie's so I will stop know."
I don't have a picture of him, but Mindy, if you email me that one picture of him and Emmy from Bradley's camping party (if you still have it or can find it), I will post it and we can all put a face to his name. He really is a great guy! Well, at least I know his beautiful wife is totally awesome.

I saw a comment left by him before and wondered "who is that??" Thanks for the introduction. Maybe he'll set the example for our husbands to enter the blogging world.
A picture is definitely on the way.
BTW: We LOVE John at our house! Stalker or not, he's family to us.
That is halarious!!! lol... I was wondering who he was!!
It's good to finally "meet" John. I actually have met his wife in person and as you said she is wonderful! I love your comments on others blogs John!!
You are welcome to my blog, too, John.
I wish my husband was as into stalking as you. :)
Good to meet you John! I think our Sisters of the Relief Society Blogging Club needs some people like you to keep us laughing at ourselves. :)
Thanks Audra. I did not realize you were going to out me but you made me feel like a rock star!
