23andMe Arrived!

I'm super excited to learn more about my genetics and origins. Yay for the $99 Black Friday deal!

Excuse me while I go spit into a tube....

I did it last year when they had the same deal! Now we'll find out if we are fourth cousins.

Haha. Did you think it was worth it?

I think I would have been very disappointed if I had paid full price, but I was very happy with what I got given the discount. I have a lot of history of breast cancer in my family, and I was pleased to find I wasn't a carrier of the gene that means you're almost certainly going to get it (unless you die of something else first...). There are many genes involved, so I'm not out of the woods completely, but that was certainly a relief. Also, other good things to know like how I have high risk of melanoma, etc. Was already taking precautions, but now I know to be extra extra careful.

Ahhh. Good to know! Did you like any of the genealogy or origination information? I'm super curious about the health stuff too.

From what I hear, the product gets better over time with iterations.

It would be cool if we were fourth cousins! :P
