  Hello @bsmcdonald3,
  You can change your blog address from http://www.spiritofhopeblog.wordpress.com/ to http://www.bsmcdonald3.wordpress.com/, by following the instructions given in this support document:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  NOTE: Once you change the address, the old one(http://www.spiritofhopeblog.wordpress.com/) cannot be used by anyone again(not even by you). This is done to prevent your blog from being impersonated.

  So only change the address if you are sure that you won’t be using that address again.

  If you want to keep the old address, you can private the blog http://www.spiritofhopeblog.wordpress.com/, from your privacy settings, so that it is hidden from public visitors. And then, create another blog with the address http://www.bsmcdonald3.wordpress.com/.

  Both these sites will be under your current account and you can switch between them from My Sites → SWITCH SITE.

  You can follow this guide to add a new site to your exisitng account:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-account

  Hope this helps :)
