SarahK to Become SarahJ
Posted by Frank J. at 09:34 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (131)

"Hung up, strung up, married, or drowned - it's all the same."
-Frank J. Sr. (I'm the third)

Having found a girl crazy enough to put up with me, I decided I couldn't wait any longer. Thus I proposed on Saturday evening (and she said yes!). Probably didn't notice, but I had butterflies in my stomach all last week leading up to this.

My fiancee details the proposal and my sneaky deceptions pretty well here. Pictures of the ring here.

I feel like I should thank everyone in the blogosphere who helped me along. I started this blog to get my say out there, and never really thought I'd find a wife. I guess first thanks goes to Glenn Reynolds, the Blogfather, who I first started reading and inspired me to blog. He also was a judge in the t-shirt babe competition which was nice of him since I got everybody to call him the puppy blender.

Next thanks goes to Oceanguy of Somewhere on A1A for being the first to permalink me when I was about to give up blogging.

Then I have to thank Geeks with Guns and John Hawkins of RightWingNews for sending me my first real traffic. John Hawkins later asked for permission to put up my posts in full on his site which helped promote me and also was a judge in the t-shirt babe competition.

After that, thanks goes to Emperor Misha I (who has a t-shirt coming out and was another judge for the t-shirt babe competition) and Rachel Lucas - both of whom sent me lots of traffic that led to more regular readers. Rachel Lucas helped me move to my own URL and designed my original banner (part of which is still used). Since she is so hard to e-mail and thank personally, so everyone click on her link in this post (the others are outdated) so maybe she'll notice the traffic and come here and e-mail me.

Big thanks to Doug of ThoseShirts.com for agreeing to do t-shirts with me and then encouraging my t-shirt babe competition (including adding in a prize). Thanks to all the participants in that competition including the other judges not mentioned thus far: Blackfive, Harvey, Bill Whittle, and No One of Consequence.

I guess I should thank RightWingDuck, a great blog friend, and well as Cadet Happy. Hell, I’ll thank the rest of the IMAO blog family as well, so thank you Scott and Aquaman.

Let's see... am I forgetting anyone. Well, I guess I'll thank Eugene Volokh of the Volokh Conspiracy who I consider a partial blog father as his blog was one of the few I read before blogging myself. Little Green Footballs get thanks, because I got some of my first notice in the comments section. Doubly so for Bill Quick of Daily Pundit with his open comment style.

And I especially want to thank all you readers who have kept coming back and encouraging me to write. I never would have kept writing without all your kind words.

Sorry, wasn't able to come up with an IMW today (something new please happen in the news!). I've thought I burnt myself out permanently a number of times and was always wrong, and I'll be doing this 'till I croak halfway through a post, my head collapsing on the "Publish" button, if I have any say. Anyway, I'm jovial; more funny is to come.

God bless.

UPDATE: Oh yeah, and I should thank Life, Liberty, Etc., long time advertiser who gave me the idea for getting a t-shirt babe when they first advertised.

Congrats ya big galoot.

My finacee details the proposal...

A freudian slip, this early in the game???

heh

#2 - Posted by: krakatoa on March 28, 2005 09:45 AM

Funny how a lot of people have to nearly give up on dating and relegate themselves to a life of solitude and bitterness. I was there too, and next thing I knew I was on one knee proposing. Congrats to the both of you! I hope you have many happy years together.

#3 - Posted by: Chris Van Dis on March 28, 2005 09:45 AM

Good grief! I thought that sounded like a 'goodbye' letter or something. What a relief to read the last few sentences. Keep the funny going.

Congratulations on the pending nuptuals!!!! Are we all invited to the wedding? On what blogs are you registered for gifts? Inquiring minds want to know.

#4 - Posted by: LynnGunn on March 28, 2005 09:46 AM

Shoot, Frank, this is the bestest IMW one could hope for. Congrats, guy!

#5 - Posted by: Army NCO Guy on March 28, 2005 09:48 AM

Congratulatiions to you both. Great news.

krakatoa,
At least I remembered the two 'e's like she taught me.

#11 - Posted by: Frank J. on March 28, 2005 09:55 AM

Dude! Let me be (err... number 12) to give congrats! The only wedding reception I can think of where reception games include rapidfire marksmanship at ten meters for party favors...

#12 - Posted by: Bryan on March 28, 2005 09:58 AM

Congrats Frank!

#13 - Posted by: Tim on March 28, 2005 09:58 AM

Good on the both of you! May you have many happy years together.

#15 - Posted by: Dave D on March 28, 2005 10:12 AM

I already left a note on SarahK's blog... but I wanted to tell you too, Frank... CONGRATULATIONS, may both of you be blissfully happy!!!

Oh, and somebody out there better live blog the wedding for the sake of those of us who cannot attend.

#16 - Posted by: songstress7 on March 28, 2005 10:20 AM

Congradulations to both of you. Enjoy.

The top 10 list was pretty good.

Frank, don't admit to knowing how to use a vacuum cle.... Oh, too late, ok.

Congratulations, Frank. She's a wonderful girl... but you knew that, or you wouldn't be making her yours.

May God Bless you both with all you so richly deserve. (And if you have three boys, SarahK has my e-mail address for the sanity check... heh!)

#19 - Posted by: Boudicca on March 28, 2005 10:24 AM

#21 - Posted by: Mr. Newt on March 28, 2005 10:46 AM

I was over at Sarah's reading her account of the evening... looks like you got everything right. *grin* Congratulations - I wish you two all the very best for the next hundred years or so... when it's the right person - that time will go by in the blink of an eye. Much much happiness to you both!

#22 - Posted by: Teresa on March 28, 2005 10:55 AM

Congrats FrankJ and SarahK! That's incredible news. The world needs more Conservatives like you, so get to it.

Congradulations! May you two have many long & happy years together!

#28 - Posted by: LokiDoki on March 28, 2005 11:23 AM

Congratualtions, Frank!!!! Have you guys decided on a date yet?

#29 - Posted by: AALT on March 28, 2005 11:24 AM

As we say back in Texas, (I'm sure you'll agree with me here SarahK) "GIT 'ER DONE!!!"

#30 - Posted by: Willie on March 28, 2005 11:26 AM

Congratulations to both of you.

#36 - Posted by: Stephen E. on March 28, 2005 12:04 PM

Well held. And congratulations!

#37 - Posted by: The Pathetic Earthling on March 28, 2005 12:08 PM

Congratulations!! Mazal Tov!! Although I rarely if ever post comments, I check your site at least 3 times a day - and you and SarahK are a constant source of fun for me. So I guess that as long as I'm congratulating you on this great news, it would be a good time to say a big THANK YOU as well - keep it up!

#38 - Posted by: michaelbn on March 28, 2005 12:16 PM

Congratulations!

Now the burning question, as I commented on Sarah's post once my eyes dried:

Are there others married directly on account of their blogs, besides me and Deb and now you two?

It'd be interesting to know.

#39 - Posted by: Jay on March 28, 2005 12:25 PM

Well, con-grat-u-lations, y'all.

I can see the headlines now:

"Deranged Blog Author Marries Hot T-Shirt Chick, Film at 11"...

#40 - Posted by: mojo on March 28, 2005 12:32 PM

Congratulations!
It seemed kind of inevitable when I met you two....

#41 - Posted by: _Jon on March 28, 2005 12:48 PM

CONGRATS

#42 - Posted by: TT BURGER on March 28, 2005 12:54 PM

Hope someone is going to live-blog the event! Errrr, up to the 'wedding night', that is...

#43 - Posted by: Scott P on March 28, 2005 12:54 PM

Frank and Sara, I want to wish you continued happiness and health. Everybody can use some luck, so wishing you some luck too. Mike M

#44 - Posted by: on March 28, 2005 12:58 PM

Congratulations, King J!!
You're one lucky ronin!!!

#45 - Posted by: The Flying Burrito on March 28, 2005 12:59 PM

Congratulations! And you did a great job with the planning & execution of the proposal. Kudos!

#46 - Posted by: LawWife on March 28, 2005 01:01 PM

Congrats! (Like we all didn't know it was going to happen.)

May the best of your past be the worst of your future together.


#47 - Posted by: natenewton on March 28, 2005 01:01 PM

Impressive Frank. Marrying up is every man's dream, but this has got to be a record! ;) Congrats to you both.

#48 - Posted by: Kingslasher on March 28, 2005 01:09 PM

Hoorah!

How about a blogger convention/wedding party in Florida?

#49 - Posted by: Gullyborg on March 28, 2005 01:13 PM

Cangrats, Frank.

Of course, there are a few pressing questions that need to be answered.

Answer NOW!

#50 - Posted by: sortapundit on March 28, 2005 01:15 PM

nice work, congrats

#51 - Posted by: johnny on March 28, 2005 01:16 PM

Congratulations! But given who obviously wears the pants in this relationship (a cat? Please) shouldn't that be "FrankJ to become FrankK"?

Har!

Do you have a mailing address to which we can send cards or something? Or is that on the website somewhere?

#52 - Posted by: Mike on March 28, 2005 01:16 PM

Congratulations, Frank J!

#53 - Posted by: Josh Persons on March 28, 2005 01:27 PM

Mike,
We do have a P.O. Box (well, SarahK does). I'll see about posting it.

#54 - Posted by: Frank J. on March 28, 2005 01:29 PM

Lil' Frank is growing up. Snif. Sunrise Sunset.

Congratulations you two krazy kids. Soon you'll be as misera...er...Happy as me and Mrs. Exile.

#55 - Posted by: Exile on March 28, 2005 01:32 PM

Outkicked your punt coverage with this one, dude. Mazel tov!

#56 - Posted by: SSG Pooh on March 28, 2005 01:34 PM

Congralutations!!! Awesome news!!!

#57 - Posted by: PtDraco on March 28, 2005 01:36 PM

You're welcome!

Sincerely,
T-shirt babe contest loser (and it's a good thing!)

#58 - Posted by: jonag on March 28, 2005 01:39 PM

I said it over at Sarahk's site, so to repeat myself-Congrats!!
I'm going into the live blogging the wedding camp. Maybe with a webcam, to show off each of each of your happy dances (she must have a happy dance of her own she did after you asked her) ;)
Congratulations again, I hope you have many blessed and happy years together.

#59 - Posted by: Laura on March 28, 2005 01:48 PM

Congrats to you both. You are blessed, and both of your blogs (yours and Sarah K's) are great.

Here's to many years of happiness!

#60 - Posted by: Brian on March 28, 2005 02:03 PM

Congrats - I've been lurking on your site for some time now, and I'm truly glad to see that things are going so well for you. My best to you and Sarah!!!

#61 - Posted by: Andy (MS) on March 28, 2005 02:06 PM

Congratulations to you both!

#62 - Posted by: Jeff from Portland on March 28, 2005 02:14 PM

Congrats Frank - I'm really excited for you.

You've also inspired me - if you can get a girl like SarahK, maybe there's hope for me after all!

#63 - Posted by: farmhunk on March 28, 2005 02:17 PM

Does this mean you'll be doing wedding planning blogging? I agree with whoever commented about live-blogging the wedding. That would totally rock.

#64 - Posted by: Selina on March 28, 2005 02:19 PM

Congratulations!

[Hopefully marriage won't involve a real version of "the t-shirt babe winning picture".]

#65 - Posted by: Hammertime on March 28, 2005 02:35 PM

I hope you & SarahK will be as happy as your mother & I have been......why the hell isn't my lunch ready yet and why aren't my guns clean!!! What have you been doing, honey??

#66 - Posted by: Frank Fleming, jr on March 28, 2005 02:44 PM

I agree with jonag. It's a good thing SarahK won that competition over me.

It may be to early for child names, but how about Smith, if it’s a boy, and Wesson if it’s a boy?
Just a thought.

Oh... Glenn Reynolds sent me over here to check up on you two. I do so enjoy a love story with a happy ending. Congrats kids and blessings on your union.

From a blogger who can't even get a date much less win a t-shirt contest.

#79 - Posted by: Libby Spencer on March 28, 2005 05:22 PM

A Blessing (from our Native Americans):

Now you will feel no rain
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now each of you will feel no cold
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no loneliness for you
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons
But there is one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your togetherness
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.


God Bless You Both!

#80 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on March 28, 2005 05:39 PM

Have to laugh...just showed my eldest the pictures of the ring. He said, "One ring to rule them all..."
LOL!! Poor Frank......

#81 - Posted by: DixieDarlin' on March 28, 2005 05:44 PM

Congratulations Frank and Sarah! This is truly a happy and joyous day.After the Grand Canyon trip last year,I figured you had found your bashert,and I was right.

Mazel tov,and may G-d bless you both with long life,much happiness,and a whole buncha little Ronin rugrats runnin' around the 'Casa de J'. :)

#83 - Posted by: mr lawson on March 28, 2005 05:56 PM

Now that you’ve given your soul to sarahk, have you thought about defrauding devil-Flanders out of a sacrilecious donut?

Congratulations on your engagement, both of you. Keys to a happy marriage:

sarahk: Like Superman, you’ve chosen to marry a mortal human. Have patience with him. If G-d had meant Frank to be perfect, He’d have made him a woman.

FrankJ: Wash the dishes (not a euphemism). It doesn’t make sense, but it’s amazing how many points dish washing is worth in the, largely inscrutable, Female System of Barter and Justice. Not even spider-killing is so disproportionately valuable.

#84 - Posted by: bokonon42 on March 28, 2005 06:29 PM

Awesome rock for an awesome girl, good work my man. Being married is truly fantastic, and my wife's not even watching me type this. Congratulations you two, I wonder how many of your readers predicted this during the early courtship?

#85 - Posted by: Uncle Mikey on March 28, 2005 06:49 PM

Congratulations. I'm very happy for both of you.

Or is this just a new direction for In My World?

Hey, I was married to my stalker blog fan before you even heard of SarahK.

I think she should go by SarahK-J, though.

#90 - Posted by: on March 28, 2005 08:21 PM

YEAH!!! Yes, we have to have live blogging at the wedding! And we must have many pictures posted for us readers to see.
Congrats and best wishes!!!

Congratulations you two!

... and there was much rejoicing.

#92 - Posted by: Darkmage on March 28, 2005 08:22 PM

Congrats FrankJ and SarahK!!! I've been reading your blogs for a couple of years now and I visit at least once a day.

I can't add any advice that already hasn't been posted (especially about washing the dishes) so I'll just end with.......

I saw this coming a long time ago! Actually, I thought it would happen during the canyon hiking trip.

#93 - Posted by: Leuthen on March 28, 2005 08:25 PM

Congratulations Frank! SarahK is one lucky girl!

#94 - Posted by: CPez on March 28, 2005 09:01 PM

Hey Frank. Remember last year when we were supposed to make you rich? Instead you're about to be hitched! You do know that hitched is the antithesis of rich, right? Of course they say that married men live longer. Others say it just seems longer...
Congratulations to you both! Hope you're as happy as me and mine have been for the past 33 years.

#99 - Posted by: clews on March 28, 2005 10:05 PM

Oh, I am so glad that you two decided to tie the knot!

....

Waitaminnit.... SarahK did say "Yes" -right?

Good!

If I may offer a blessing of sorts?

"May you love as long as you live, and laugh as long as you love!"

And, from personal experience, "Listen to each other before you speak for yourself, give 150% without expecting any return, and never permit the possibility of divorce!"

My hubby and I have been married for 20 years, and our attitude is "Us against the world!"

I pray that God richly blesses your marriage, that He gives you rest in each other, unity in trials, and that you remain each others' best friend always!

"Whom God has joined, let no man separate!"

So, where's the bridal registry?

#100 - Posted by: Romeocat on March 28, 2005 10:11 PM

Wonderful news!

Frank, you've made the best decision of your life. Make the most of it.

SarahK - you're marrying one o' them gun-totin' wild Idaho mountain men. Speaking from personal experience (my wife is a liberal from Idaho - meaning she carries a 9mm instead of .45) they make for incredible spouses once you get used to a certain preoccupation with potatoes, salmon and wacky separatist politics.

Let me close with my Best Wishes to both of you and a quote from "The Guru" - Col. Jeff Cooper:
The purpose of man is to cherish woman. The purpose of woman is to civilize man. Let us hold to that thought.

congratulations, Frank J.
many happy years to come!

Three cheers for team building! Hip, hip - congratulations!

Romeocat - great thoughts. I find my marriage in the same light as you stated. Great thoughts.

On another note, I haven't seen anyone state it, but, is it just me or is the entire blogosphere reacting to this news? I've seen the "puppy blender", Michelle Malkin, ThoseShirts.com, etc, etc, etc, commenting and congratulating. I think on a small level this shows the emphasis and reach that IMAO, and MountaineerMusings, has. Basically, everyone knows about this!

I think FrankJ and SarahK should feel proud. Not only because of their coming senten...... uh......marriage but because of the effect they have on the blogosphere in general. If nothing else, this should justify FrankJ's commitment to this site/blog.

Congrats again! May you each have many wonderful years together! I hope for only the best for each of you.

PS - This is going to be live-blogged yes? For those of us shlubs who aren't able/lucky enough to attend? Please tell me there will be many pictures as well as many IMW's relating to the wonderful event!

Congratulations. I was instructed by the Emperor to come over and give my "huzzahs!". Hope I'm not to late to tell you good luck and many years of happiness.

Congratulations! :-D :-D :-D

How sweet. Give each other the best that you can give and all will be well. I could go on and on that marriage isn't just a bed of roses, but you guys seem to get that.

Have a long and happy marriage. God bless.

Congratulations. May you have very many happy years together.

And may a benevolent Providence (Jefferson's "Nature's God") smile upon you and yours.

So, Will the Ninja costumes be for the bridesmaids or the Groomsmen?

Or perhaps for both?

I already said this on SarahK's blog and on mine, but I'll say it here as well - I hope Rumsfeld shows up at the wedding with a big, hearty, congratulatory, "Rarrrrrrr!" Congratulations, and good luck!

Congratulations to you both. Met my wife of almost seven years (of marriage, not her age you pervs!)now, on the net. That was back before blogs-we met in mIRC land. Now we blog. Best of love, long life, and happines to you both.

#124 - Posted by: Guy S on March 29, 2005 08:48 PM

Congratulations!

Getting hitched was the smartest decision I ever made. (Last one too)

#125 - Posted by: Reepiceep on March 29, 2005 09:47 PM

Congratulations to SarahK & FrankJ. You have brought us all much happiness: may your marriage bring you much happiness, adventures and stuff.

#126 - Posted by: mikerdr on March 30, 2005 10:46 AM

Congratulations both, and good luck! I can't think of anything witty to say, so just good luck!

#127 - Posted by: shepshep on March 30, 2005 02:25 PM

WOW! Congratulations Mr. J. and Best Wishes to the future Mrs. J.

I guess this means the arrangements of marriage between you and the Daughter Du Toit are off, huh? Guess that trunk full of guns will have to go to someone else.

#128 - Posted by: Mrs. du Toit on March 30, 2005 10:13 PM

It was never a question of 'if' but 'when'. Congrats, you two!

#129 - Posted by: Illustrious on March 31, 2005 08:36 AM

Congrats....

Love is not putting up with your loved ones faults but looking at yours and trying to correct them for her.

(I try to live by this creed...happily married for 26 years and still madly in love with her)
