As promised, I said I would do a contest update for those involved the first ever Independence Day Contest at Joeprah.com this Monday to kick things off. First, let's start off by introducing the contestants: First, we have MileHighDad. MHD is another stay at home dad blogger and just was mentioned in Woman's World. He is a heck of a nice guy and is very involved in his young son's life as you can tell by his blog which includes movies of his boy dominating at soccer and photos that his son takes with their digital camera. Melisa from Suburban Scrawl is another participant and perhaps one of the nicest people I have met in the last few month from blogland. She is a published author and blogs about this and that and everything in between at her blog. RDH Mom, is a dental hygientist from Canada that has a tight knit family and she openly blogs about them and her adoption tales. She has great taste as she frequently drops by and comments here at Joeprah.  Mommy Cosm, another contestant, hales from New England. She is a softball coach, mom, and blogger (obviously). She honestly gives an introspective look into her life via her blogging prowless and can make you laugh/cry/smile with her awesomeness. *Note: Joeprah doesn't cry* Colorado Green Dad, this guy is relatively new on the scene. I mean not in life or whatever, but rather in my realm of experience. Very enthusiastic, very cool and like any Joeprah fan savvy beyond all reasonable measurement. Trysh, this lady is super nice and has a super cool jewlery blog. She is very talented and a very geniune, kind soul that I am happy to have met. Penelope, not Trunk, but rather my friend from Cafe at the End of the Universe. She writes Idol updates, poetry, posts photos, talks about her family and almost anything really. She is very cool and very down to Earth. Allie Bear, another new friend of mine, she blogs about her life in a no-holds-barred fashion leaving me blushing from her posts on occasion. She is funny and sassy. Word. Worn Out Woman, she is a Christian woman with a strong family. Her stories are both inspirational and relatable. For instance, her son donated money he received at his recent birthday party to charity, the story brought a *Joeprah doesn't Cry* watery substance to my eye. My boy Tom, over at Being Michael's Daddy, is an intelligent, well written, hilarious, intuitve dad that I am glad to have come across. Dude writes about his family and a lot about his youngest child Michael (who is much younger than his other kids and a bit of a surprise) in some poignant anecdotes. Respect. Pete, well--he basically is the ownage at most things, but his speciality is owning with his camera phone. He is smart, witty, and one heck of a good blogging friend. 50% smart-tech-camera guy, 50% witty blogger, 120% awesome. Momo, if you don't know Momo from MomoFali you are missing out. Period. She is really friggin' funny and has some awesome observations about life and parenting. A mom blogger that is married with two children that is relentless in her persuit of being one of the best bloggers ever. She is basically my hero. Jared, over at DadThing.com, writes about being a dad to one of the cutest boys in history, Ace. He has some excellent observations about his experiences being a new dad. Dude, is both intelligent and funny. Huckdoll, this sassy blogger is hip and almost as cool as I am, yeah right. Her blog is very popular and she may be one of the front runners in this competition. Tyler, he has a blog over at Building Camelot that looks at the topics of parenting, being a dad, and being a guy under a microscope. Cool dude and a relatively new bloggy friend that I am glad to have met. HRH, another new friend of mine that has a very cool witty mom blog at June Cleaver Nirvana . She has a cool family and unique blogging style I find refreshing and fun to read. So, without further ado, here are the early results for the contest in question: You should trust me on word alone, but here is the proof. Each image below is clickable and once resized you can see where I came up with my figures. Also, the contest runs until July fourth and no one is out of it. If you haven't posted a badge you should hook that up and any other way you want to send link love is perfectly fair. If you thought you were in the contest and I somehow missed you, let me know. The next update is in two weeks, so stayed tuned to the next exciting update to see how all the contestants are doing. Let the trash talking begin!
