I believe I've decided

to start a new blog and not give out the address. Reasons:

• Scott's a big part of my life now (understatement of the year), and I don't know that it's fair to him for me to chronicle the minutiae of our lives without his input. (Does he even know I have this blog? I don't think so...if nothing else, I've got wedding dress pictures posted & I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen them.) Maybe we could do a joint blog for news-y updates and such, like Courtney and Sam or our friends Ryan and Leah. Hmm.
  
• I've got some (relatively unfounded) emotional baggage associated with this blog, and I'd like a fresh start.
  
• Like I've mused about before, it changes the nature of a journal to have an audience. Originally I just wanted this blog to be used as a private journal, only online--because I can update it anywhere, it's super easy to organize & search, I'll never lose it or get it wet or otherwise damage its contents, and I type so much faster than I write by hand. But I'm such a blabbermouth by nature, I guess--verbal, digital, or otherwise--that it somehow grew into something big. My stats page tells me I've had 128 unique visitors from 19 different countries this month, including Saudi Arabia, Peru, India, and Iceland. What the heck?! Who would want to read this? Really. I'm bored.

So...now I just have to come up with a name...always the hardest part.

In other news, Scott and I ordered flowers and got a marriage license today! Hooray! The end is in sight. We just need to finish up sending the invitations and get a cake, and I think we're done! Yessssss. 22 days!
