M and L Adventures

As Matt mentioned in his August 23 post, we’re engaged! Matt proposed on Saturday, August 19 a little after 5:00 p.m. and I said yes. We will be getting married October 21, 2006, 7 weeks from this Saturday! Both of us are very excited, but very busy. If you don’t hear from us a lot in the next few weeks you know why! Here are a few pictures Matt’s mom took of us.

Okay…so by now I have got to be one of the worst bloggers ever. It has been about a month since my last posting and that’s just sad. To be honest though, the only interesting thing that has happened to me lately is the purchase of my MacBook computer and iPod. Matt’s been away on business trips lately so we really haven’t gone anywhere. The lady that works in the office with me had surgery so she’s been out for about 3 weeks and, for three weeks, I’ve been doing the work of two people. By the time I get home at night I’m too worn out to move (other than doing laundry and such)…much less think. My MacBook comes in today, though, so hopefully I will have something interesting to talk about for the next little while. I’m sure Matt will have his comments regarding the MacBook and its performance as well.

When Matt and I first started this blog we said we would tell you about his nephew, Ty. Well…we both realized the other day that we have yet to write about Ty. We recently took some pictures of the little man at his first birthday party and would like to share those with you. Ty turned 1 year old on Monday, July 17. He has learned the words “hi”, “bye (he waves too…even though it’s a backwards wave)”, “Rock (Matt’s dog)”, and “Da Da”. He spits out food he doesn’t like, hates sitting in a car seat, can take a few steps without holding onto anything, and has this quirky little smirk he does before he does something he knows he’s not supposed to do. Ty loves his Uncle Matt and I’m sure will grow more fond of him when he gets older and all he wants to do is play outside. I love taking pictures of Ty. I think I could spend a whole day doing nothing but capturing images of him on camera. Please take a look and enjoy.
