“Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
― Judy Garland

I did it. I completed all 52 Weeks of Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestor Challenge. I stuck with it. This weeks prompt is about you. So I figured I would tell you a bit about me.

I am a married mom of 3. I am married to Gerard for almost 23 years. We have Chiara, Jimmy and Sami. Both of my parents are still living and I have an older brother and younger sister. I live in New York and have all my life.

As you know if you read this blog I found my love of genealogy through my maternal Grandma. I started going on trips to the cemetery with her and my mom back when I was 12. I completed the Boston University Certificate Program in 2017 and am almost done with the ProGen Study Group. I enjoy learning when I am super interested in a topic, if I am not I drift.

I also enjoy reading and crafting. I am an avid Peloton rider and working on my health. I am also an officer in my DAR chapter and enjoy volunteering.

Things I don’t enjoy are cooking and cleaning. Oh and I probably mentioned it here but my family and I are huge Disney fans. Our love for them has grown through the years with how well they treat people with disabilities as my son has autism and is non-verbal. He has challenges and every day is a journey.

I am looking forward to 2020 and taking part in 52 Ancestors again as well as adding some new things to the blog.

See you all in 2020.
