It has occurred to me over the last few days that the audience of this blog has started to grow, and not everybody who reads this blog knows who the other common readers may be. Furthermore, some of the readers of this blog prefer to read anonymously and don't post any comments, whereas other readers are more familiar with the whole blog thing and like to leave comments for others to read. I can categorise these two groups in another way too, friends and family from New Zealand (the anonymous people) and friends from Vancouver (the nice people who leave comments).
Tonight I decided to check the comments awaiting moderation and found two anonymous comments asking who Shannon was. The posters didn't leave there name but there was a clue from one of them leading me to believe it was a family member. Now those of you who are friends of mine from Vancouver are probably not so familiar with my family and there somewhat childish attitude when it comes to me and any female that I mention, somehow not grasping the concept that I have friends of the opposite sex, and that being friends with a girl does not necessarily indicate any more serious relationship or prospect thereof.
For those of you back in New Zealand, Shannon is a friend from University Chapel. She is in my home group along with her husband Lucas. They are from Missouri. Shannon plays the piano and sings very well. Lucas is a very funny guy, he tells great stories, like the one where he killed a snake and cooked it on the engine of his car and ate it, but he tells it so much better. To find out more about Shannon and Lucas, check out their blog here.
I think I will try and get some photos of some of the friends I have made here in Vancouver and a short blurb on each of them so that in the case that any of them feel inclined to leave a comment here in the future you will all know who the person is.
Oh and to answer the second part of one of the comments posted, yes I probably will introduce Shannon to Mum and Dad when they visit next month.

I'm seriously laughing out loud at the comments asking who I am. :) That makes me smile... I have to clarify that Lucas wasn't the one who cooked the snake and ate it on the engine block...it was a actually a Kiwi!!! I look forward to the blog where you introduce friends and family. :)
oh paul....i think a lot of us have some querks in our families....you're not alone
Hmmm...who's Amy Louise then?
Joking...besides, I'm only a distant relative and decidedly unanonymous.
And who's Jonny then......?
Jonny would be Jonathan Rickard. If you are interested, you can find his blog here
