Or not so much...

Obviously my goals to do family history failed miserably. But I am renewing my vigor! I did look up things in New Family Search on both sides right after I posted (a year ago), but I really felt like this is something I need to start doing more (again) during General Conference. So here I am. And I am really emailing this link out to people so I can get information!

What I want this blog to be:

• I really have a desire to learn more about my family & my husbands family. I want to know who our ancestors were. (Partially because I am still having children and I like using family names. You can't use family names if you don't know them!) 
• I want to be more involved in family history and temple work. I want to make sure all the work is done.
• I want families to be able to use this as a resource so that we can all work together. I need family members to share stories and pictures so I can get to know not only our ancestors, but also those who are living now. I want to network as families because I truly believe that families are the most important thing.

I'm sure I have other thoughts as well, but I wanted to have a post written so that I could actually email this link to my dear family. Because I'm doing it for from my side, I know that not everything I post will apply to everyone I am emailing. I have a large family. But my plan is to have each Sunday a month be a line. The Ball side, the Stewart side, the Sackett side, and the Brunner side. That way if you only care about one line you don't have to read it every week. :) 

I really am excited about this idea. I also know that I am a good one for intentions and not always the best at follow through. I will not be perfect at updating. But I also know that the more information I get from others, the more I can share with everyone.

Thank you. And please, please let me know if you have done any of our family history and if there is a chance that I could get information/pictures/anything from you.
