Option 2 it is

Thanks for all your votes and input! I decided to go with option 2 since it is more personal and I don't want our page to look like everyone else's fundraising page. I did add the chipin counter thingy and a few IF links and the "what.IF" video. I like it the way it is and as soon as I hook up the paypal part we will be in business. Thanks agian for helping me out!

We're going public....

I bit the bullet and talked to J last night about starting a blog to raise money for our next IVF C....to my surprise, he was fine with it. And, he said he thought it was a good idea! I had drove myself batty about bringing it up with him, thinking he would say no{since we both hate asking for money and or help}. Whew, what a relief, glad he's on board! I didn't stop there, I talked to MIL today and before I could even finish telling her about it she said, she knew all of her family would contribute cause they've already said they want to help. Yay!

Now, I certainly don't expect to raise the full amount but whatever we could raise would be extremely helpful to us. And I think I am going to open a separate account(at a different bank) for the sole purpose of raising these funds. That way there is no way it could accidentally be spent on anything else.

I have a few more things I want to edit and then I will give you ladies a preview{if you are interested}. But before that can happen I need you to put on your best wordsmith-thinking-caps and help me come up with my first post...Mainly so it doesn't have "No Posts" visible when the page opens up. Just a brief welcome to the blog, post.
