Countdown and preparation!

Nine days! That's it. Only nine days until the flight leaves for Pennsylvania. I'm half packed of course. And since I'm going back home....I think I'll always call it home... I have to have a genealogy game plan right? And I do. For the most part.

- I'm gonna meet bio dad. That will be a nice chunk of genealogy right there. I dunno if I'll meet his mom. I'd like too. I've decided that. Plus she's the genealogy type person too and I could learn a lot of family stuff from her.

-last year I went to a bunch of cemeteries and posted on every single one. You think I woulda covered them all. Well, learning about the other half of the family tree opened up a whole nother list of cemeteries. So naturally I'm going to take my camera with me and photograph like I did before.  One of the cemeteries I was planning on going to anyway. My friend passed away almost a year ago so I was going to visit her. That's a first for me.

- but of course I will keep you updated on everything. I'm excited about everything especially the meet up. I'm sure when the day comes I'm going to have multiple panic attacks and my intestines will want to send things in multiple directions. I don't know what I'll say or what we'll talk about. Or where we're even going but hey. I'll just... Go with the flow. Which is difficult since I like everything planned out in advance. Lol

That's all for now folks!

Kate and Leopold

Have you ever seen the movie? A duke from the 1800s goes through time and meets Meg Ryan falls in love but has to go back to his own time?

- wouldn't that be cool!? I mean, sure I'd love a hunk with a British accent to show up and be all polite and chivalrous and romantic and crap. And dear lord the clothes he wears in that film. But anyway. Wouldn't it be awesome genealogy wise if we could go through time and observe our ancestors with a little camera? Or have a chance to talk to them.

- but I just love this movie. So that's it. No major genea news today.
