And So It Begins...

Yes, we have finally done it. We've created a family blog. Goodbye mass email updates. We didn't know where to begin the blog so at the beginning, when we met, sounded like a good place.

~How They Met~

Michelle's Version:
I got this new job working at a Montessori school and I had to pick some paperwork up before I started working. Right when I walked in the door, across the hall there was a parent signing his child out at the computer. When he turned around, our eyes met. I was carrying a sleepy Donevan and he was holding Genevive's hand. I thought to myself, "WHO is that?" Then I realized he was probably married and shouldn't be staring at me so hard. I remember the first thing he ever said to me: "You look lost."

Matthew's Version:
Ok, he's too shy to give his side of the story so we'll give you Elicia's version. At the time, Elicia was an intern at the school and also Matthew's roommate.

Elicia's Version:
Since the very first day Michelle started working at the school, Matthew would not stop bugging me about who she was. "What's up with Miss Michelle?" I kept brushing him off but when I found out that she was a single parent, too, and as I got to her know her, I thought they'd make such a cute couple. One day, I asked if she was interested in dating anyone yet and told her "my roommate thinks you're hot." Haha. And she had me give him her phone number. But for the first few months, they didn't even tell me they were dating!

~The Wedding~

Matthew and Michelle got married on Saturday, August 4th, 2007 at Rock Bench on the cliffs of Laguna Beach in the presence of close friends and family...and random bystanders at the beach (after which, the ice cream man drove up playing his ice cream truck music.) They celebrated their wedding reception at the OC Pavillion in the Vault Lounge where the bridesmaids were pretty much the only ones who had the opportunity to take advantage of the open bar.
