Happy Blogoversary to Me! (And Happy Birthday to Lee-Lee Too!)

My blog is three years old today! Wow! How time flies. I'm not really sure why I started blogging. It was sort of an impulsive decision. It wasn't something I thought about for a long time. I don't even remember how I came to know that genealogy blogs existed. I think I was searching for something on Google and up popped a blog result. Within 24 hours, I decided to start my own blog too. I think what I was most excited about was that this blog I found was written by someone who was under 40. Until this time, I thought I was the only person under 40 who was interested in genealogy (now that I'm 30, 40 is not looking so old anymore). In fact, I thought I was the only person interested in genealogy (other than my little cousin, Paige, and my older cousin, Stacy). My family members and friends were not always as excited as I was, so I immediately felt right at home in the geneablogging community, where people were excited about my finds.

Now some of you may be wondering who Lee-Lee is. I didn't realize it at the time, but my little cousin Brynnlee (aka Lee-Lee), was born on my blogoversary last year! Happy First Birthday, Lee-Lee!

I fully admit that I stole this pic from Paige's Facebook page. I was too lazy to go get my camera out of my husband's backpack with the pictures we took of Lee-Lee at Christmas.

  3. Thanks everyone! I am so glad people are still reading this blog...LOL.

    Greta - I knew that Brinlee was one of your surnames, so I figured you would like this post:). My cousin is trying to name all of her kids with Bry names with two n's in the middle. So far, she has Bryonna and Brynnum in addition to Brynnlee.
