I was never a fan of little dogs. I always had medium and large dogs growing up. I always categorized little dogs as yappy and annoying. But then Sean came into my life. And with Sean, came Tank.

Tank.
Oh, Tank.
I was never a fan of little dogs. I always had medium and large dogs growing up. I always categorized little dogs as yappy and annoying. But then Sean came into my life. And with Sean, came Tank.
I love this dog. Like a lot. He's my boy. He's the sweetest dog. He loves to cuddle. He's fun to play with. He loves walks. I can't imagine my life without him now. He's a rat terrier. He's 20 pounds of cuteness. So cute he deserves his own entry.

Going to the Chapel...
I'm getting married on June 25th. I've pretty much been in planning mode since we got engaged on November 14, 2010.
Some people give me a face when I describe my wedding to them. Sean and I decided pretty much from the start that we wanted a small, but nice wedding. Neither of us was interested in feeding our guests a full meal. We decided on finger foods & punch/champagne. We decided not to have a bridal party (gasp!). We knew that we wanted to spend the majority of our money on the honeymoon.Which we did.
It's frustrating at times. Sean and I are paying for everything ourselves. It would be nice, for once in our lives, that we get financial help for something so important. It would be nice to be given money for just our wedding. At times, I wish we had this because it kind of would be nice to have all of the traditional things. And a bigger wedding. But, the reality is that we're paying for this shin-dig ourselves.
All-in-all...it doesn't matter where we get married or how many people are there. I think there's too much emphasis placed on the wedding and not the marriage. I'm excited to marry Sean. He's the love of my life - my best friend. We could get married in a barn for all I care. I just wish the time would tick down faster. 110 days!

The Journey of 1,000 miles beings with a single step...
So cliche, right?
I've had blogs before. And the first post is always the most awkward. I mean, talking about me and who I am in a single post is kind of...forced? Most of the people who will be reading this know me. And if someone random happens to come across this and likes my writing...then they'll *hopefully* stick around...read this stuff and get to know me.
I've been contemplating starting a blog again for a while. As sort of an outlet. I like to write. Not that I try to be insightful or artsy with my writing...I just like to put words out there. For someone to read. Or no one to read. Or just for me to read. Regardless...I'm not trying to do anything fancy here. I'm just doing me.
Why the name "Midwest Transplant?" Well, I've lived in Missouri or Kansas my whole life. I've never known anything outside of it. Sure, I've traveled a bit (not internationally...yet) but what I know and am comfortable with is the Midwest. But...that will be changing in a few months. I'm getting married in June and by the end of July we'll be heading eastward. There will be more details about that as we go along.
I feel like I Have so much to say. There is a lot going on in my life. But...these are for another day :)
