PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE!! (And pass it on!)

Everyone, please go to Seriously so Blessed and vote for my best friend RACHEL to win TAMN's makeover contest.
Rachel has gone through one hell of a year . . . below is my initial submission, but we had to scale it down to 100 words or so for the actual nomination that's on the Seriously So Blessed website . . .

My BFF thought she was getting her happily ever after when she got married. Turns out she couldn't have been more wrong. Her husband just left her and their baby with nothing . . . 'cause it turned out he was leading a double life & was cheating on her. A lot. With men.

He made her feel worthless & ugly, but she's strong, beautiful and amazing. She's just totally forgotten. The jerk even had the nerve to tell her 'if only' . . . if only she was a better wife. If only she was nicer. If only she was more beautiful.
Then of course he'd stop scamming on random guys. Whatevs. He was a mean, twisted individual who was cruel & abusive, and she deserves a chance to start off this new year with a fresh start and a little boost of self-esteem!

She has to go out & get a job to support her son, (and eventually snag a new, better man!) Her husband constantly told her she was worthless, driving her nearly to the point of giving up, and yet here she is, starting her entire life over again, trying to make the most of a horrible situation for her six month old son. TAMN, help us show her what a beautiful little Mommy she really is!


PLEASE pass this on to anyone you know who'd be willing to go vote . . . feel free to link to this or Seriously, just help me get the word out to vote for Rachel!
Thanks so much!

I really hope she wins! I've used pretty much every resource I have to get people out to vote, my blog, the waiting for a missionary facebook site, email, attending and inviting people on facebook to vote for her, and even the Oakcrest 2008 Myfamily website. Hope it helps!
