Today is the 5th anniversary of this blog. Wow, time really does fly. I am not sure what I would have said if you told me 5 years ago what I was doing today. Honestly, I had no idea where I would go or what I would do!
In 5 years I have written hundreds of blog posts (not nearly as many as I wanted!) and watched my skills as a researcher bloom. The genealogy community is such an amazing one. So welcoming and so friendly, I was very overwhelmed at first to be sure. Thanks to that welcome, plus the advice of countless people, I feel like I have flourished from those first nervous steps.
As I think on it, it is only fitting that on my fifth anniversary I am in school furthering my genealogy education. Which, has been a great experience so far. But, I am only 8 weeks in. Ask me in a couple months how I am holding up.
I wonder if the next 5 years will be just as amazing!
Congratulations, Shannon, on your blogiversary! I've been learning from your posts and look forward to the next 5 years (or longer!).
