Though I haven’t had a lot of time since Grace was born, I’ve been trying to start on my new person project, which, if you don’t recall, is about finding my old classmates. People have been telling me to try a wikia search, which I’ve never done before. I don’t even know what it is! I’ll definitely try it out though if it’ll help me find person I’m looking for. Gosh, I don’t even want to think about it right now. I just want to spend more time with my baby. I once read that when you become a mother, you just want to spend all your time with your child and every moment you’re not with them is a torture more than you can bear. I never knew what it meant until now.

So I finished up the family tree a few days ago. It was quite a wonderful experience. Sifting through old photographs, looking at immigration records, reading old newspapers, running a background check…I just can’t get over how touching and personal it was. It really made me feel in touch with my family and where I come from and what my baby is going to have as his/her heritage. Very exciting. But now I’ve got the finding people bug for sure. It’s given me a real sense of purpose and belonging. This weekend we were packing up old boxes and I came upon my high school year book. Wow, I can’t believe I kept it. I’ve been feeling pretty nostalgic about it. I think my next project will be tracking down my graduting class by using my usual techniques. If all works out I think I’ll write a book, like a guide to finding your old classmates. I could be huge! Well, I am huge right now. Not for much longer though. Hopefully!
