Are you sitting down?

(This post was first posted on my other blog on Tuesday, June 29, 2010.)

Alright, blog loves, we need to have a serious heart-to-heart.

Has anyone, besides my mom and besties, put two and two together?

You know, all the hints I've been dropping.

(Like this and this and this )

Did you find the hints? Let me help you.

Purchase of The Knot. January 8, 2011. Avoiding the salon because I need long hair.

Something was made official today, something that I have been busting at the seams to share.

I'm getting married!

Wait, you don't believe me? Are you recalling the Marine's fear of commitment?

 

Well, I thought you might need proof of the new bling on my finger.

And, even though it took a thousand shots to get a semi-clear picture and cemented my belief that it is indeed terribly difficult to photograph diamonds, please enjoy!

 

Yes, it's official.

Welcome!

Well, here we go...

         ...a new ring

            ...a new day

               ...a new blog!

I've been racking my brain, for quite some time now, about changing my blog. I love my old blog. I love all the comments, advice and help. I love my followers. I love my "blogging besties." I love the real life friends I've made from my blog.

I don't love the name. I don't love that it is so negative. I don't love that it implies that I'm always unhappy, have something to complain about or ungrateful to the Marine Corps.

I was a disgruntled girlfriend when I created the blog and consequently, the name. I was dealing with a difficult deployment and, at the time, I was disgruntled. But, as time went on, I became less and less disgruntled and in the past couple of months, I cringe a little bit each time I see that word.

I didn't know how to transition to a new blog, though. And then, the perfect opportunity afforded itself.

A wedding blog.

A way to include all of our family and friends and guests in the planning.

A way to share with all my curious followers and blogging besties.

And so, "...Take Me Down to the Little White Church..." was born. For right now, I'm going to continue blogging on my other blog and blog mostly about wedding plans on this blog. I think I will, eventually, transition my blogging exclusively to this blog. I feel like this blog can grow and change with Frank and myself.

I do not think I will be cross-posting very much. With that being said, I am going to cross-post two entries from my other blog in order to make sure everyone is caught up on our journey to the little white church!

So, welcome to our journey! Have a seat and stay awhile. Please leave us comments and help us make our day perfect with your feedback and advice!
