Wow...
that's allot of hot air!!!!
I have to thank Blog Her.com/NaBloPoMo whose challenge, to blog every day for a month, I participated in for 3 separate months. These challenges got me into the habit of regular blogging and of keeping a list of things I want to blog about. Thank you NaBloPoMo for a good habit. Even though I don't blog everyday, I regularly check out their site and maybe again when I'm up for it, I'll take the challenge again!

Quotes
"The Lord doesn’t care at all if we spend our days working in marble
halls or stable stalls. He knows where we are, no matter how humble our
circumstances. He will use—in His own way and for His holy
purposes—those who incline their hearts to Him."
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "You Matter to Him", Liahona and Ensign, November 2011
"You
may sometimes be tempted to say, ‘Will my influence make any
difference? I am just one. Will my service affect the work that
dramatically?’ I testify to you that it will. You will never be able to
measure your influence for good."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Prophet, Apostles Speak at MTC Mission Presidents' Seminar", Church News and Events, June 29, 2012See also: D& C 64:33-34

Life
I just barely get everything fixed and new things break! I just got the computer fixed and the new one up and running, and now the central vacuum broke (I LOVE my central vac system and miss it dearly!), the windshield on the car has a crack, the DVD player/sound system is broken and the television has no sound. Seriously!
Don't tell, but I'm almost sick of genealogy! (Yep you heard it here, but ever say it out loud and I'll deny it!) I have been serving my mission, just signed up for another two years (they changed the rules so I had to "sign up" twice; once the old way and then according to the new procedure!), I spoke in Sacrament about family history work, began indexing and have indexed over 2,000+ names, researched and found the Roberts Family in the 1940 census, kept the Roberts family blog updated regularly, worked shifts at the Eagle Mt. Family History Library, and helped two separate families in our ward individually on a weekly basis teaching them family history and research. Plus, the newsletter is due this month, and finally, I'm preparing a family history trip with my dad to Iowa.
Crazy! Especially since it is getting to be crunch time on gathering all of the needed information for the trip to Iowa. I would hate to travel and spend all that time and money only to find out that a key piece of information or a document was available at the FHL. So, I am trying to do extensive searches everywhere I know before I leave.
With the release of the 1940 census, I was able to find most of the Roberts family that were alive in 1940--however I looked at over 382+ images to locate everyone! Then, I had to copy and add that information to my genealogy program. I'm still working on adding the information to my database, however I was able to link everyone to the source from the blog. That took a whole day!
I was able to spend a couple of days with a dear friend while her daughter was recuperating in the hospital. I miss spending time with her on a daily basis, but will always treasure the time and the fun we were able to have.
Finally, the Nieman's went on vacation, and I missed them terribly! So, glad they are home and close; just knowing they were further than usual was difficult--what if I needed loves from those sweet grandchildren?!?
Easter was quiet. Home alone while everyone was busy doing their thing, that's life (and death). Afraid that is getting to be a pattern for holidays! I also went through all my old poems to add to this blog! That was fun/interesting/memorable/sad and insightful!
So, this is what I've been up, what have you been doing?

Did you know. . .
April is national poetry month!
Nope I didn't know that, but now I do because I went to see what the NaBloPoMo blogging badge for April was.
Yep, I'm a poet, and I'm going to have to take the challenge!
So, stay tuned for some serious sonnets or cheesy rhymes for the month of April!
