Nesties, need your help
We've entered a picture of our baby, Sean Patrick, in a photo contest to win a college scholarship through Upromise.com and he's in the lead (yay) but we could use your vote to help keep him there. We have a bit of a lead but a picture of a cute dog has come out of nowhere and is racking up votes very fast. If you could spare a couple minutes and vote, I would greatly appreciate it. Here are directions, please let me know if you have any questions:
You'll have to log into your Upromise account to vote, click here to get to the sign-in page: https://lty.s.upromise.com/secure/login.do?cm_re=VisitorNav-_-L0-_-SignIn&cx=Nav_L0_SignIn
If you don't have a Upromise account, it only takes a couple minutes to set one up (there are 3 steps, once you enter in your contact info, just go to the bottom of the other 2 steps and hit "Skip This"): http://www.upromise.com/welcome
Once you are in your Upromise account, click the blue "COMMUNITY" tab at the top of the page. You'll be asked to create a community name.
The scroll down to "CONTESTS"
Click on "FTD's Give Thanks $5,000 Photo Contest"
Sean Patrick's photo is currently on the home page for the contest under "Hot Entries" - the photo is called "Splash!" and shows SP splashing a blue water table.
You can also find his photo by clicking on the "Top Entries" tab.
To vote, click on the star with the blue background 
Once your vote registers, the background of the star will turn gray. Thanks!
Re: Nesties, need your help
P.S. If you are not a member of Upromise it's a great free program. They basically give free money for schooling (it's not necessarily college, it can be used for any type of schooling or even paying down student loans) when you make everyday purchases.
I joined back in 2003 (before I was even engaged!) and earlier this year, Upromise deposited over $800 into SP's college fund. It's rad.
So even if you don't see baby in the near future, it doesn't hurt to start saving now
Big thanks to Nicole, Amy and Lisa K for already putting in their votes for SP!!
