I am so grateful!!
I am so lucky to even have my blog right now. I changed my email address from hotmail to gmail. When I got my gmail account, that also opened a new google account. I only wanted one, so I changed my email address on my blog to my new one and transfered information from my google reader to the other one and deleted my old google account. Well I didn't even think about it, and by doing that I erased my blog as well. I have been physically sick over this and have tried everything possible to get my blog back. I have emailed a ton of people who work for google, I have filled out a form over and over again to reactivate my account and it has come back to me saying it can't reactivate it because I couldn't provide enough information to prove it was my account, I asked the geek squad if they could help, called google and waited on the line for an hour and still didn't get anyone, and I have prayed like crazy!! It wasn't working this morning but this afternoon it popped up on Josh's computer so he checked it just to see if it for some reason would just start working (something we have tried and tried but knew wouldn't work) and it worked!! Our blog was no longer removed and the account was active. I don't know how this happened. We haven't received any emails explaining that they reactivated our account or anything. I feel really blessed to have our blog back. I love having a blog so friends and family can see what you are up to and how your family is growing and changing, but most importantly it has been a family journal. I have always been a great journal writer and have made sure I write down every memory. The last couple years I have done this through a blog. When I found out it was all gone, it made me physically sick and emotionally sick. So, with all of that said, i am so grateful to whoever reactivated my account. I will make sure now to get my blog printed into a book so we won't have this same problem again, and those of you who read this... please learn from my mistake and don't do this to yourselves!

Oh man! I'm glad you were able to recover your blog! I'd be so sad if I lost my blog! btw: love the main pic above--so cute!
I am so glad you got it back! That was so terrible! I am definitely going to print my blog into a book asap now. That would have been such a tragedy to loose all of this information.
FYI, I found out you can export your blog to your hard drive to save it. Just go to your dashboard and click on the "settings" tab. There will be an option to import or export your blog.
So glad you got it back! We love keeping up with y'all and you have inspired me to back mine up regularly. I realized I hadn't done it in a few months. Hope you are doing well!
