Excited!

So, this is not part of my family's story, but I am SUPER excited about this blog. I have been working on my family's history for....mmmm....about two years now. I have been putting it on my home computer, but NEVER had the idea of creating a blog come to me until recently.

The blog is the BEST idea ever. OK, here is the best part! I am going to work on this until I add all the stuff from my computer on here, and keep it as my little secret. That is, unless, you find it here on the Internet. Yikes!~ I had not thought of that one, oh well, if you do find this....please keep my secret. I want to give each of my seven siblings a hard copy of this blog for Christmas this year (2010), and my Mom is going to get one too. After Christmas, we can continue to add to the blog, and we can print off the additions at home.

I want anyone, and everyone who knew my parents to add to this blog. The more information (good and bad---just the facts) about my family I can put in here, the better for our future generations. I am ecstatic about this idea. This is the fulfillment of a life long dream for me. I ALWAYS wanted to know about my ancestors, and now maybe with this blog we can put it together for my parents posterity. Yes!!!! Isn't this exciting?

Oh, one more thing...I said the bad too because we learn from the past, and other people's mistakes. Adding the bad is not meant to embarrass anyone or shame anyone, it is meant to help each of us grow and become better people. Becoming a better person, should be a life goal for everyone (at least I think it should), and avoiding pitfalls that others have encountered along their journey in life is a good lesson for the children, and the children's children. Don't you think? I think it is important.

Now, how do I add our family tree???? I love this project! I am going to learn lots and lots. Again, I must ask....isn't this exciting?!?!?!?!?
