Summer Look + NEW BLOG REVEAL!!!

YES, you read that correctly.  I'm here to reveal a new, second blog.  And since I'm assuming y'all are more interested in that than my puttering about the new look on this blog, I shall address it first.

So.  Several months ago -- during the second half of last year, actually -- I began to get some new and exciting leadings from the Lord regarding my post-high school plans.  I won't go into all of it here, since I talk a lot about it on the new blog, but suffice it to say that one of these promptings was to take the plunge and create a second, more personal blog, on which to document what happens next.  (And technically I was supposed to have this ready to reveal at graduation, more than two months ago, but oh, well.  Better late than never, eh?)

And don't worry, I have every intention of continuing THIS blog for many, many years to come.  It will probably still be my main blog. :) 

This new blog will probably take a while to get up and running, and it'll probably continue to be tweaked (possibly completely overhauled).  In theory, it will focus mainly on my writing, musings, and, as I said, post-high school (a.k.a. probably college) adventures. 

But enough of all this introduction!  Behold the title and link of my new blog!!! :D

*confetti and bursts of applause*

Two more things about the new blog and then I shall return to this one.  First, I realize that's an odd title, but you'll have to visit it to find out what it means. :-P  Second -- and I mean this -- you are under no obligation whatsoever to follow this new blog.  Seriously.  I mean, obviously, I HOPE you'll follow it, but only if you're really actually interested in the description I gave above.  Because I would C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E.L.Y. understand if you're more interested in what I talk about here on "Meanwhile, in Rivendell . . .," since personally, I'm not ALWAYS interested in more "writing-focused" blog posts.  I'm not trying to dissuade you from coming, of course --  I'm just trying to say that I promise I would understand if you'd rather stick with what we talk about here. :)  (And, of course, there will be some overlap -- things from MiR will come over onto TIaPS, and vice versa.)

Okay, enough about that. 

Well, as you can see, I've changed this blog's look again.  I usually like to change my headers with the seasons, at least, so I decided since July is already almost half gone, it's probably time to get a summer look up. :-P  I'm pretty satisfied with it on the whole, I think. 

(And yes, the picture on the right is me, finally revealing my face on zee blog.  Behold.  :-P  As a matter of fact, that picture was taken by a certain special someone on the occasion of the wedding of another certain special someone. ;))

You know, I was reflecting recently:  I love this blog.  It's been such a blessing in my life.  You've all been such a blessing in my life.  I love "doing life" with you guys.  Thanks a million for being such awesome people. <3

Okay, sentimental sappiness over.

What think you all of the new look? 

 How's your summer going? :)
