You've come to the right place!

Don't leave. You've found the same doahleigh you always enjoy reading. It just looks a little different.

Brad custom designed this new look for me earlier this year, but under the circumstances I haven't made the switch until now. At first I just didn't care about a pretty new site design because my heart was broken and the man who broke it is the same one who made the pretty new site design for me. Then I just kind of forgot about it with everything else I had going on.

But now my broken heart is on the mend, and the recent broken widget reminded me that I had this design just waiting to be launched. So here it is!

I asked for something clean with three columns, and Brad basically came up with the rest. He even came up with the idea for the rotating banner at the top. I selected some of my photos, cropped them to the right dimensions, and he used some kind of html magic to make it so a different banner pops up every time you visit or load a new page. Fun!

Not everything is complete yet, but take a look around and please let me know if you come across any problems. Isn't it pretty?

My initial response that came flying out of my mouth was "Dude!" LOL I love it. I had to make sure I was in the right place. hehe! I'm glad you were able to launch the new look and have your broken widget fixed. =)

Third time's the charm? My comments keep getting eaten. Sadness!

It sounds like the picture on the header won't always be the same, but I love this one! The combination locks are brilliant. Great photography!

Mine isn't very pretty, not like this one.

Oh and yes Megan can fix cars. She went to skills in high school and will be starting college in December for auto mechanics. I love that she's doing this. The other day Eric even said she could do somethings better than he could!!!
