Sean here (an old buddy of your hubby...Hey Andrea,<br /><br />Sean here (an old buddy of your hubby and Greg Thompson’s younger brother which may make me easier to place), we have met a couple of times over the years although I have lived in California for the past 7 so you may not remember me. Last week while home feeling under the weather I stumbled upon your Blog thanks to your Haiti donation post you left on Facebook. I began to read your Haiti post, then your "who am I post" and kept on going. <br /><br />I found myself drawn to you stories and writing style (and occasional recipe!!) mostly because we share a common family life as well as many core Christian values and parenting techniques. I was the first out of my group of friends to get married and I too married at 22 years old after I moved out to California (not to my high school sweetheart but none the less the love of my life). We waited about 5 years before growing our family and were blessed with the birth of our son Connor born August 27th 2009. He is only 4 ½ months old but we have already shared many similar memories as you and Brandon have had with your 2 beautiful daughters. <br /><br />I thought that I would write you to let you know that even though your Blog may be intended for the opposite sex I have really enjoyed reading about your take on life (marriage, children, pets, concerns and successes). Your Blog has opened up some interesting dialogue between my wife and I and has pushed me back into the gym (postings about your ultra fit husband may have contributed). Since Connor is still very little and we don’t have a toddler running around, my wife and I have been able to prepare two of your A.O.K “trial” Gourmet recipes together as a couple (they came out nicely and we enjoyed the time spent together preparing them).<br /><br />I’m not sure if I am the first male to post a comment on your blog but I encourage other men to do the same, I can’t be the only one that enjoys your writing. Thank you for sharing so much of you life with us and hope that you continue to post once you return to work.<br /><br />FYI … I think that “demoted” and “Oh Reggie…” deserve honorable mention on your top ten ;-)<br /><br />Your New Fan,<br /><br />Sean ThompsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539466133668598068.post-68851299901380572072010-01-19T14:42:48.456-05:002010-01-19T14:42:48.456-05:00with a number like "6-49"... i DO hope y...with a number like "6-49"... i DO hope you bought a ticket!!Leinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622949942193823616noreply@blogger.com
