2010 Census

Since the first census commercial came on my television a couple of months ago I was so excited. First off I think because this is on official record that will forever say that in 2010 our little family consists of me and David. I still to this day get so excited any time that I can write down that I actually got to marry this amazing guy!

Second, the next time I fill out a census who KNOWS what our lives will be like. It is so exciting for me to think about how much our lives will change and how our family will look at that time. We may have 6 kids, we may have one, we may have none. We may have adopted children, foster children, biological children, or none yet (we are still waiting to start that chapter of our lives and you really never know what's going to happen when you try)

Third, Family History!!! Just think if people hadn't done census' years ago. How much harder would it be to find stuff for records and baptisms and that kind of thing. I hear so often people finding great big branches of their family trees from these seemingly simple population counts.

Fourth, I am a SUCKER for filling out forms! I just love checking boxes, filling in blanks, circling or anything else that has to be filled out. I swear if I could find a job where I fill out forms all day I would be in love.

Anyways just thought I would voice my opinion. David makes fun of me for getting excited when I see commercials or the fact that I filled it out and had it back in the mailbox within about 3.2 minutes after receiving it but it is something that you just can't explain!
