Day 12-How you found out about blogger and why you have one

On July 4, 2007 my boss's sister suffered from a stoke. He has a huge family and in order to keep everyone abreast of what was going on he started a blog. His original profession was that of a contractor and did really well running his own business. While still a young man he retired and became an artist and Gallery Owner. Since his sister's stroke he has slowly transitioned into family historian.  Along with his transition my job has also evolved. I started out helping him around his studio and modeling for his art classes. Over time my job has evolved into full time personal assistant. I spend most of my time sorting out and organizing family pictures and helping him put together family histories.

Back to using blogger. As my boss had more and more questions and desiring to do more fancy things to his blog I in turn started my own blog as a way to test out how to do things.  With his encouragement I eventually started my own blog. Since then I have created several blogs. My Aunt and Uncle live on the East Coast so as a way to help them involved in my life I started a picture blog where I would post daily pictures of our house, garden, and things that were going on in our lives. I spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort making sure I kept the blog up to date. It wasn't till years later that my Aunt told me that she never looked at my blog. That was a very rude awaking in my life to find out that all these years I had been doing this for her and she wasn't even looking at it. That is my extended family for you. Some are true gems and other are well... I won't go there.  At the same time my marriage was coming to an end so I discontinued updating that blog.  I  guess that was good timing all around.

At about that time I started another blog about how life really was, not just the happy family Christmas letter type of blog where every one is happy and life is perfect, but a blog telling how things really were as a wife. I kept that blog going for a couple of years till the marriage came to an end.

Now I have this new blog that you are reading now.  My life has taken many unexpected twists and turns.  Every adventure a learning experience. I love blogging. I love being able to talk through my adventures with a team of trained experts to help me along the way.  Thank you for all of your support and advice.
