I blog stalk.
Big Time.
I read about people lives that I've known for what seems like a lifetime.
And I love to read about people I've never met. I've referred to these people in conversation as friends. Sort of sad but true.
Don't judge.
And, in a totally unrelated matter. Who made an entire cookie sheet of homemade Nestle Tollhouse cookies valentine's night...I am taking most of them to work tomorrow to get them out of my house...but how single woman at home was that!
You can read about people that I actually know in real life:
Erin (Harper) and Jeff Rose -- my favorite newlywed couple
Charis (Adams) and Sam Lau--as they venture around the country on their way to East Asia for mission work.
Jenny (Fuqua) and Brad Smucker--a friend from dear old Navasota that went to UMHB our freshman year
Angel (Foster) and Russ Weir--went to UMHB. Have one bio and two adopted kids...very sweet blog
Amazing other blogs...warning they are seriously addicting. Don't blame your husband and kids not being fed on me!!
The Pioneer Woman. Shut UP! She's amazing. The food alone is worth your time. I made the molasses cookies at Christmas this year to rave reviews. And the best sheet cake ever went over amazingly at the most recent counselor birthday bash. For those of you who've had my rum cake, she published the same one (from the Bacardi bottle)...and the sheet cake is even better. When you have massive amounts of time, read the "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels) set. It's hysterical. She's amazing. Does giveaways, and 10000+ people read her blog daily. Seriously.
The Bacak Nation. Don't know her...but my readers (ha!) will love her. Her little brother is Robbie Seay as is the Robbie Seay Band, a famous Christian group. Her older brothers are Brian Seay who works for Compassion International and Chris Seay who just published a new translation of The Bible called the voice. She's wise and amazing and I want to be like her when I grow up. The links on the side of her blog are great too. Check out Lynsey Kramer's Blog...her photography is awesome.
MckMama. I don't have kids, but this lady can write and is crazy. 4 kids under 4. Seriously. She is so stinking funny.
Last but not least is Angie Smith. Her husband Todd is the lead singer of the Christian group Selah. It is the most heart wrenching thing you have ever read...go back to the beginning....and moms beware, it's about the loss of a child and tough choices that had to be made about carrying a child who would not survive to term. She's amazing and crazy and funny and a phenomenal writer. You will spend hours reading this blog from the beginning the first time. I did. My sister did too.
Again...I have know idea how I came across all of these. You know they all just link to one another at some point I'm sure.
Here's a bit of small world for you. Angie Smith is this global scale kind of blog. She talked about emailing and getting to know another woman in her same situation named Sara from Texas. She's a girl I went to college with...nuts right.
Happy stalking...and don't say I didn't warn you.
