I have stalked and still do stalk a number of blogs. Shh...don't tell them, they may get freaked out a bit. I read a number of blogs of families here. Then sometimes, I am standing in line behind them at the Commissary and I so badly want to say, "Hey
A few days ago I added a feedjit application to my blog that told me where readers were viewing my blog from. Interesting...Milton FL...who are you? I can seee you!!!!!!!!
This morning I noticed a reader from Nottingham. I have a long lost relative that lives in Europe somewhere, not sure of the location, so I went over to see if that blog might just be her. It wasn't. I did find another interesting blog to read though. As I was reading I noticed she had linked a few friends of mine here in Okinawa to her blogroll, myself included. Whoa, just then did it hit m that a stranger was reading my blog. How did she find me? What could she possibly find interesting about my little ole' life? I emailed the other ladies to see if any of them were friends or related because, well the curiosity got me. I can be so immature like that. Anyhow. Aviva, commented on her blog and the reply she got back was so nice. She commented on our pictures and said she enjoyed reading our stories.
How freakin' sweet is that? A person who feels no family or friendship obligation enjoys hearing my stories and looking at my pictures. So, from now on I will quit calling my inlaws every few days and reminding them to check my blog. Just kidding..my inlaws love my blog. Right? Bobbie, Chad? Are you there?
So the point of this story is, if you are reading this, leave a comment. It's quite simple. Just click on comments at the end of the post and write something :) I'll be waiting.
I hereby promise to comment on the 20 or so random blogs I frequent, hope you will do the same.

Shannan, Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. Your boys are growing up really fast. It is great to see all the pictures and read all the stories of your life there. Take care!!!!
Hi, I'm the Nottingham girl who linked to your blog. Glad you don't mind, I just find you all interesting and love the photos! You're all inspirational! Jessicka :o)
You go girl!! Way to get it out there about leaving comments. I agree, if anyone stumbles upon my blog (crystalrutland.blogspot.com) leave me a comment too. I would love to know who you are. And I agree with Jessicka, your blog is always so interesting and I love the pictures to. Its nice to say I have a friend that lives across the globe from me Ha!.
You crack me up, but I know what you mean, since adding the feed on my blog I'm very curious to know who some of the people are that have "found" us. lol. don't know about Milton but it's my area, but I should be showing up as Navarre from here on out! WE ARE HOME!! and it is so nice to have our stuff back around us and be settling in!
as always love the pics and sounds like you have been making the absolute most out of your assignment! I'm a bit jealous!! ;)

...and the world gets smaller and smaller. I agree though, it's made me appreciate comments A LOT more. I still stalk hundreds of blogs and am too shy to comment... maybe that will change.
I don't leave many comments but I'm keeping up with you guys. I like showing the kids your pictures. They really enjoy it too.
Too funny. I thought I was the Milton girl! I'm actually in Navarre as well. I'm just another Crossroads/Mississippi girl who likes to see how another MS girl is adjusting to life overseas...quite well I might add. :) Enjoy the rest of your time overseas!!
OK, I am saying hello, I don't know you, I don't think you know me! I came to your blog via all kinds of others, Marisas, Avivas, Kassias, Oki Hai maybe. Shame, I thought maybe I could tag you, but seems you have beat me to it, now I have to search for others LOL I don't know many bloggers!
