Profile:
This is the place where I am supposed to describe the person mentioned above. Since I plan on "spotlighting" a member in my family on here every week or two, it won't always be about me. However, I figured the best place to start was with me. It was a good idea until I got to this portion. Now I just feel a little narcissistic. I assure you that I'm not- or maybe I am. I don't know, would a narcissistic person be able to identify if they were being a narcissist? Food for thought.
Anyways. I guess I'll tell the story of why I am doing this.
It all started on Sunday. The room that Benjamin Mauriala (My Husband) usually go to for sunday school was all full. This is a particularly big problem due to the fact that it is the only Sunday school room with cushy chairs for my bum. So instead we were banished to the "other" Sunday school class. As it turns out that class was the first class on Family History. At one point the couple that was teaching the class was trying to convey that everyone can do something for family history. That got me thinking.... "what can I do for family history that is different from everyone else?" This is what I came up with. I can blog. Some months I am better at it than others, but I can do it. I figured that Every week or so I would spotlight a family member. Eventually I'll run out of living family members to put on here then things will get tricky. I'll have to research. and this little portion will get smaller and smaller. But that's my goal. I want to introduce you to my family. Hopefully, years down the road my kids, and grand kids and great great great grand kids will find it and I will have introduced them to their family so that when we are all dead and gone, they will know us as people, not just names.
