As I look back over the We are Family Briggs blog posts, it has been a couple of years since my last one.

Things have been very busy in my work life causing me to put in a lot of overtime. Because of this, I was too tired to put in the work for the blog posts. I did not want to just throw something together just for the sake of doing so – it just didn’t seem right. I have found that if you’re not into doing the writing, then the posts would not be worth it for people to read.

Fast forward to the present, we have hired another full-time person in our office thus taking a huge workload off me. It’s only been two and a half months, but I know this person will stick around for the long haul – fingers crossed!

My mind has been going around and around as to how I would ‘begin’ again on blog posts but wasn’t too sure where to begin. I found something on Facebook a couple of weeks ago that caught my eye and basically gave me a way to get started. Let’s just say it’s ‘prompting’ me on what to write about but doesn’t really have to be too engrossed to get me going.

I’d like to give credit to Amy Johnson Crow’s program, 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks-new/) for getting We Are Family Briggs back on track and hopefully back into digging into our family history!

I will also give credit to my cousin’s son, Bradley, for giving that extra push – he knows why. Family is the key, and the stories need to be recorded for the future – great job on the Christmas presents for your family, Bradley!

Time to start writing – stay tuned for the first of many more to come in the next couple of days (what have I gotten myself into?!?!) – I’m looking forward to it, hope you are as well!

Happy New Year everyone!!
