So I know I said this blog would mainly be the story from now on, but I wanted to let you all in the loop so you know what's going on.

The short version of things (and if you want the long version, head over to Sprout and Cayden's blog) is that we have to move in with my Mom. It sucks having to move back in with your parent, and I'm expecting some head butting, but we're really in debt and out of options - she is amazingly letting us stay there rent free, and utility free, so all we need to do is buy food, which will save us a TON of money which we can use to get back on track.

But we have to be out of our townhouse asap - like by the end of the month. With Cayden's birthday and moving it's going to get a little hectic. I'm still planning on posting on the day I said I'd come back (was it the 8th?) but if you guys can hang in there with me through the month of September I'd appreciate it - it'll be bumpy but I'm hoping by October things die down and I have a few months to relax before baby Sprout shows up and things get crazy again :-)

Please help!

Alright guys, I have entered Cayden in a cutest kid contest. It's a local contest, run by a radio station (Sunny 95 for all those of you who live in town) and I really think he may have a chance of winning. But I need your help! Pleaseeeeeeeeee go vote for him, and fwd this email to all your friends to vote - you don't have to be in the same city/state - just go to the website.


It's REALLY simple to vote - takes about two seconds. You don't even have to register or anything. Just go to this link, find my son in the a-d gallery under the name Cayden (he's the only Cayden in there) click the little circle under him, and then scroll down and click vote. Seriously takes two seconds, they don't need your email address or anything, so please please please take one second and vote for him!


Here's the link, please let me know if you have any problems, and please please vote and pass on!

A few of you have emailed asking if I have a return date yet. I do not. I've written here and there a little but haven't "stocked up" as I had hoped to do. Still, I do miss the blog, I think about it often, and I do want to come back.

There is no way I'm going to be able to keep up with the old schedule - it was just far too much. I know a lot of you complained about too much pregnancy talk last time - but I am pregnant and I do have things to get done to prep for a new baby. I have a wedding that I'm in the beginning of September, then Cayden's birthday is at the end of September, his birthday party is the beginning of October, and then we're on to the Holidays, like Halloween, Thanksgiving, the baby is due, and then Christmas. So I think as of right now it'll most likely be one post a week, and I think a good starting date will be after my wedding.

So, if you guys will have me back - I'm thinking first post will be the 8th of September - and we'll just start out with one every Wednesday and see how that goes.

I'm turning comments back on, but please, if you're going to be rude - don't bother. I don't expect you to kiss my ass or anything like that, or praise Jesus that I'm coming back, but if you don't have anything nice to say about it, well then, don't say anything at all.

I won't be mentioning any more pregnancy things over here - I have another family blog that I'll write that on, that way the people who want to know about it can head over there, and then people who don't care to read it don't have too. The only thing I have left to say about my pregnancy here is that the baby is due December 7th. We're hoping to be able to try for a VBAC (a regular birth) but it means I pretty much have to go into labor on my own. If I have to have a c-section, I'll obviously have to stop the blog again because I'll be in the hospital for a little while. Just an extra heads up so nobody gets frustrated with the frequent stops and starts.

I did miss you guys, and I am sorry for the way things went down. I just think honestly I took on too much, and that was my fault, but I feel like after this break I can come back better :-)
