Today is the 5th blogoversary of Bluebonnet Country Genealogy/Ruth’s Genealogy!

Five years ago I knew very little about genealogy and even less about blogging. With the help of my cousin Susan (lots of help!), my first blog was born on Blogger. It has moved a few times since then, from Blogger to WordPress.com to WordPress.org and finally back here to WordPress.com. It has also had several different looks (remember the “big hair” of the 1980′s? I think this blog had big hair at one point!)

Even the name has changed!

But change is good, and as this blog has evolved, so have I. I now know what sources are for!

Anyway, I am happy to still be in the blogosphere and I am happy to continue to contribute. Thanks to everyone!

To celebrate, I’d like to share a few of my favorite posts, which usually describe Happy Dances:

1. Happy Dance Time, or… maybe James Bennett, Jr was a killer!
2. Happy Dance Time: Carrico-Kennedy Marriage Announcement!
3. I am BLOWN AWAY!!!!
4. Blogoversary vs Bennetts: and the winner is…
5. The WOW! Category

I am looking forward to spending the next 5 years online and sharing my genealogy life with you!
