The biggest thing I want to do this year is this blog project. Working with my grandma to create a beautiful family history record of many of her family members will mean so much to me and my family in the years to come.
And, dear family, I want this to be a group project. If you see a typo, misspelling, improper grammar, or verb tenses that aren't making sense; speak up! I will also be happy to listen to your take on events and apply what I can where I can, but if your version differs from Grandma's--I'm going with hers. This is her history from her point of view.
This year I'd also love to lose weight, get organized, get a couple more clients, and hopefully get a new church calling (I've been doing Primary music for 6+ years now). But all of that pales in comparison to the job of recording this family history.
I have moved upon by the Spirit of Elijah and I've found a way that I can contribute in a meaningful way. So this year, my most important goal is to record at least 40 family history posts.
This year as I work on this family history project, I'm not moving in a linear way though time or through the family. I will be jumping around quite a bit, from person to person and story to story. Whatever is pressing on my Grandma's mind is what I'll write about. Please take each story on it's own merit. I hope you enjoy the ride.

Jenna, I really like your blog and admire what you are doing with your family history. I think you have made me want to do that this year too... thanks for sharing.
I think family history is probably the most important thing we can record and share. Good luck with your family history, Marie!
