Moving my Blogger (custom) domain to a new hosting provider

I'm looking to move my custom domain from blogger to wordpress. I have purchased the domain through google, and it's now a google apps account. What I would like to do it change the site to point to a new host, but I'd like to keep everything else in tact (the current blog will stick around, I'm just looking to point the domain to a new host). I want to keep the google apps going so I can manage the email, etc.

Currently, the domain is through ENOM, and the default hosting information is:

@   216.239.32.21   A (Address)
@   216.239.34.21   A (Address)
@   216.239.35.21   A (Address)
@   216.239.36.21   A (Address)
docs   ghs.google.com   CNAME (Alias)
calendar   ghs.google.com   CNAME (Alias)
...(Rest of the google apps here)

So, is there a way to point JUST the web hosting to my new media temple host? So www.mydomain.com gets served from the media temple host?

If I change the DNS settings to "Custom" I lose all of the google stuff, and it says the only way I can set up the MX records and whatnot are by using the default settings.

Has anyone ever done this?

If you choose custom DNS, you can setup the DNS to keep working with Google. Some steps here http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=140034 http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=54693

Then point the website (A) records to your new host.

(On a side note, I'm not a fan of Media Temple. I've got a client with a WP site on there and there are better hosts.)

I have quite a few sites hosted with multiple hosts, and email running through Google Apps email, including the client who is on MT.
