I have to apologize for my absence last week, hive! This Ballet Flat had a root canal Tuesday (soda is evil), and said bye bye to my job in New Orleans. I officially moved to Baton Rouge, and I couldn’t be happier!! (Because I’m now in the same city as Mr. Ballet Flat!)

That’s the capitol building for Louisiana, and being on the tippy top of that building, you have a very beautiful, serene view. I highly recommend this for any Baton Rouge-ians (after all, it’s free!).

Tiger Stadium… only the happiest place you can be on a Saturday!
Now, I won’t lie… I miss my family. I miss them dearly, and I miss my old job too! In fact, there was a huge surprise for me that Friday at work that I am SO appreciative of my coworkers for! It made the day wonderful, yet that much harder to leave. (I’ll save that for another post!)
So, naturally, after a difficult week, I broke down last Friday after I got to Baton Rouge, and thankfully, Mr. Ballet Flat knew how I could drown my sorrows. Chick-Fil-A’s seasonal Peppermint Choc. Chip milkshake!! (I’m such a kid, right?)
If you made the move to your fiance, was it hard on you or was the transition easy?

Share this post: Wherever Have I Been?
Me and my fiance live together, and have for the past 11 months. My move wasn’t too bad since I moved from my parents house (about 15 minutes away). Good luck in your new town 
I will actually be moving to Baton Rouge from San Diego to be with my fiance. Such big changes. I look forward to following your posts from my soon to be hometown.
I hope the move went well! I moved to ann arbor to be with Mr. T, but it was only an hour from my old location.
I just moved last month, and I think it’s just now getting better! we still love each other, but it is harder than we thought, and makes ‘forever’ seem more like FOR-EV-ER 
i lived in LA for a few short months (alexandria)- its such a delightful place! I cherish the trips i’ve taken all over that state- when i read this post it stirred some memories in my heart Thank you for creating a ripple in my day.
Hi there ballet flat! I live in BR and am so excited to hear that you are enjoying it! Where will you be gettin married? We are getting married at the Old Governors Mansion in Dec 2009! Can’t wait! Hope the move went well!!!
@karla: I’m actually getting married in the NOLA area, but we are going to be living in BR post marriage (well, already live in BR I should say!). The move went great! It’s the unpacking that kills!
Im sorry, I learned how to spell in Alabama. Ballet Flat……That would be BF, not BT.
Moving is rough, I bet you’re glad it is all over! Mr. P and I moved for his job. It meant I had to leave my job and friends, but it also meant I could help him pursue his dreams so it is all worth it. Welcome back!
Like Mrs. Pineapple, my fiance and I moved earlier this year so that he could pursue his dreams. We moved from my hometown in the Midwest to the South and it has definitely been an interesting experience for the both of us. It was definitely worth it for us as well, it just took us about 6 months to adjust to our new surroundings.
Mr. Wiglet and I moved from Seattle to Chicago last August so that he could start law school, and it has been rrrr-o-u-g-h for me. Seattle was my hometown, and now I’m in this huge, cold (but still pretty awesome) city with no friends and no job. I’m slowly making friends with his law school buddies, but I don’t think this will feel like home until I have my own life. Unfortch, the economy makes finding another job - where I could meet more people - quite hard. Still, I wouldn’t have changed this for the world. It’s shown me how incredibly supportive and patient my man is. Also, Because I’m always home, we now spend like 20 hours a day alone together and I’m happy to report that we STILL aren’t sick of each other! If anything, we’re more in love than ever!
Still, moving is hard and my heart goes out to you…although it sounds like you’ve got a great outlook! It’s also nice that you’ve probably spent enough time there to lay the groundwork for your new lift - I had never been to Chicago before we moved here!

About Me: I absolutely love wedding planning, spending time with Mr. Ballet Flat, various crafts, watching football, baking, pop music, bargain hunting and ice cream. My idea of a great date night is dinner and clearance shopping with Mr. Ballet Flat! I currently live below sea level in the suburbs near New Orleans, where I make maps all day, everyday for my job. I'm slowly becoming more and more obsessed with anything New Orleans related for our wedding, and I can't wait for the big day!
