Well, I have been very busy! I have gathered some information for my own genealogy by going to the courthouse itself. What a difference that makes. I found things I would not have found otherwise. I was able to just delve right into the index and make notations of what I needed. People who think divorce was not common, well, I looked through a huge index full of them! Pretty interesting cases as well. I have taught a class on organization and decided I had better shape my own genealogy up. So I gathered papers from genealogies of other people's I have been working on, such as step family, etc. I started typing the information into Rootsmagic and finding what needs to be done next.
I have been working on a clients project and finding some neat things. I have research plans set up and it's fun to see it come together. The same for a friend I am helping out.
Today I took a big step and I took the family interviews I have done to a shop that can put them on DVD's. Luckily they had a sale going, but still spent a pretty penny. It is so worth it to me though. Some of the people I have interviewed are now gone and just hearing their voice brought a huge smile to my face!
I have been busy teaching classes and I am turning in proposals to speak at NGS. That is a huge step for me. I am going to start taking classes again through Heritage Genealogical College. I joined APG and our local chapter is doing the Progen course. I am a very busy person. On top of all of that, we have my step children half the week and every other weekend my niece and nephew. I am helping my cousin earn girl scout patches and at work I have a lot of responsibility. I read before I go to bed and I am starting a bible study. I make sure there is time to spend with my Adam and of course my Sierra puppy dog. Phew... wonder what I will be doing tomorrow!
