And it begins..

I must admit, it's a little intimidating to write the very first entry to this very new, and very exciting blog. I have been dreaming and scheming of this blog for months...and now that it's finally in fruition, all I can tell you is that I want this entry to be so explosive! THIS IS the first one; I want it to captivate all of my readers; to engross, to mesmerize. I want you, my reader, to be addicted; coming back day after endless day to read my engaging and witty masterpieces. (Isn't there some kind of prestigious award for great bloggers?) But where do I begin? I have so many things to tell you about being single and being LDS and the struggles and the triumphs of my life. If you're reading this blog, chances are, you already know what I'm talking about. You're (hopefully) single too, and struggling along, working hard to make things happen and trying so hard to find that peace and happiness and balance in your life. If you're not single, then don't tell anyone that you've found a guilty pleasure within my site, and I'll be sure to keep it a secret as well. Now, welcome to my blog.


Hi- you can call me "the Guerilla", or "G" for short. It's not necessarily a name I enjoy- but it is something that was born out of necessity. Now before you get confused, let me explain. I am technically known as a 'veteran guerilla' of this single warfare...I am a single, educated, 29 year old (gasp!) woman that lives in Salt Lake City, UT...and I'm LDS...and I've never been married. And I don't have kids. Which means I've been trudging through these gutters of single-dom for some time now. Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong with me, despite what others may say, just because I haven't found my "EC" (eternal companion) yet. Anyway, to keep things simple, I'm "the Guerilla". No need for the 'veteran' part- (no need to remind you that I'm old) you get the drift.

You will see that I'm not the only writer on this blog. Turns out, my dear, dear, sweet beautiful friend that I love so much (who also has amazing insight) is also writing on this blog. Turns out, while she is not as 'veteran' as I am, she has been trudging these muddy trenches forever too...struggling to understand this life and all of it's mysteries as well. Her name is "Scout". I'll let her introduce herself more fully on her turn to write. She writes a day, and I write a day, and occasionally a "guest mercenary" will write a day, and hopefully some hot, witty hunk will eventually write a day; and we will do our best to entertain, and edify (can we? We don't know), and offer some kind of something to you, our readers. Again, welcome to our blog.

Another thing- we love to get emails. We thrive on emails. Please feel free to write us with something that you want us to think about and possibly talk about on our blog. Or tell us that you think we're fabulous. Or, tell us that we're not. Or tell us a dating horror story- trust me we have tons of them and we will be sharing them throughout the entries. We don't care. Just write us and talk to us, so we can keep our blog a huffin' and a puffin' along. If it's good stuff, we'll include it on the page. The email address is trenchsurvival@gmail.com. We welcome your thoughts.

And my last, quick thought for today: May the Faust family know that our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time. WE LOVE PRESIDENT FAUST, and will miss him much. His words of inspiration have uplifted us and edified us many, many times throughout the years, and we know that his testimony was true and faithful and strong. He was a great teacher and a great example; and he is on our minds and always in our hearts. Again, we just want his family to know that we love him dearly.

Let the blogging begin!!
