I love researching!

[Dave Taylor]

This is off topic, but I just want to be really nerdy and express my the great deal of pleasure I receive from researching. We all have our areas of interest and I feel like there is no better rush than when you get your hands on something "new". In the history field "new" really means old, but the rush is still exhilarating.

Due to the conference coming up in three short months, I've been hitting my Garrett research pretty hard. Over the course of this week I've found seven pictures of the Garrett farmhouse, four of which I have never seen in any book. I've also made contact with a new Garrett descendant and I am learning some wonderful family history from her. Lindsey can attest to me being on cloud nine yesterday when I received several of my pictures.

Spill the beans my nerdy friends, what discoveries have you found that just made you feel good inside?
