This seems to be an ongoing Photo-A-Day over on Instagram. A friend of mine shared it and since I was trying to go through and simply tidy up all of our genealogy paperwork, I thought I would do just this one.

So, that's my mom in the photo, who I actually look nothing like, though people always said I did (it's mainly because we both have dark hair and are overweight - she wasn't until she had me). I probably have her eye shape and I definitely inherited the lone fluffy eyebrow thing from her (but she always tweezed it away). But I don't have her ski-slope nose or her square teeth, nor her face shape or ears.
However, this community recently posted pictures that she was in and one photo is the only time we've kind of showed a resemblance. It's not many people who can say that they were put into the back of a patrol car, and even less can say that it happened when they were nine. But I have a short story on just that.
I keep track of the books I read every year, because I do forget and I like to remember at the end of the year, "Oh yeah... I forgot about that one.". I rarely write thoughts about the books that I read though, so I thought I would shortly discuss some of the books I've read so far this year.
So I'm doing this genealogy photo a day (which will be a blog post next month when I'm finished) and getting ready for my parents' 50th (even though it's not until May); which means that I've been rummaging through photo's and documents, so I'm thinking a lot about family.
This (above) came up in my news feed today. Sounds cool, but I wanted to know if it was true, so I did some research. Perhaps I'm just too picky and read too much into things, but the above is misleading.
Yesterday a highly amusing thing occurred. Something which I laughed about, but then felt I should save the poster from hate messages.
I've talked about the mission trip I went on before, but only in mentioning it here or there, so I'm going to lay the whole thing out now. It was wonderful and horrible all at the same time and I vowed never to go back.
