Busy life - little blogging

Okay, I am sorry that I have not been posting to my blog much this year. I have been really busy. I will make a quick list to let you know what I have been doing:

January
  • Completing my American Genealogy Course!!! They sent me a certificate to hang on my wall, but I don't like the brown and orange color scheme.
  • Costuming for Kirsten's middle school drama club production of "Oklahoma"
  • Ordering and returning films for the local Family History Center (new calling - ongoing responsibililty)

February (out of town for much of the month)

  • Taking a family vacation to Disneyworld
  • Preparing handouts for four family history classes (to be presented at the Washington D.C. Family History Conference in April)
  • Spending two weeks in Utah for my sister's wedding and visiting family

March

  • Helping Kirsten with long term projects
  • Preparing a proposal to speak at the National Genealogical Society conference in 2009 (which is a longshot to get accepted, but a big step for me)
  • Teaching Dalton his numbers
  • Preparing powerpoint presentations for four family history classes
  • Playing with my family for spring break
  • Assisting with the organization of an online professional genealogy study group
  • Preparing for and presenting the first of two multi-stake Family History Consultant Training sessions

April

  • Completing business records and filing taxes
  • Presenting four family history classes at the Washington D.C. Family History Conference
  • Preparing for and presenting the second of two multi-stake Family History Consultant Training sessions
  • Teaching Dalton to throw and catch a ball (ongoing)

Okay, so making my list I realize that a great portion of my time (when I am not playing with my kids) is spent on family history. That is because it is my hobby, my calling and my profession. I love it! Let me know if you ever need help with yours.

Fun update, Angela. Your work in Family History is greatly appreciated, and I'm glad you're having time for some ball fun with Dalton.

I'm tired just reading how busy you've been! Although, I will say you've invested your time wisely! One of these days we're going to catch you on a late night show on National Geographic or the History channel! They always do interesting shows, who knows maybe they'll try one of your family history seminars to show! I hope to see more of you this summer! we've missed Dalton playing w/Devin.
