Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

My Family Addiction

Yes, I am an addict... I spent a good chunk of my summer doing family history research and loved every minute of it!

Then came the school year and my time spent doing family history came to a screeching halt.

:(

This week, I had a spare hour- or at least a non-scheduled hour. So, I decided to just look through a little family history...

I 'found' one of my dad's great uncles and a great aunt-in-law's 'missing' twin sister! Such a euphoric feeling!

And it turns out, for me, there is no longer such a thing as a little when it comes to family history.

I am officially an addict- just cannot get enough! (says the woman who has now spent over 5 hours of an extremely busy weekend researching the fam)

And there is so much to learn and so many family relationships to sort out, merge, add sources...

Perhaps one day I will be able to indulge this wonderful addiction of mine a couple of days each week.

But until then, I will have to be content to find those missing relatives a few minutes at a time. And I am so blessed to be able to do this!
