Welcome to Blog-A-Day March!

I have a lofty goal this month: to pay more attention to this blog and spend some creative time devoting myself to it, and hopefully in the process bring joy to its readers.  In turn, the ultimate goal is to bring more happiness and fulfillment to myself.  So, I will post something each day this month.  Who knows, maybe it will inspire me to want to document more, as we all know how kids grow up so fast. 

For my first post on the first day of this month, I want to share some news that many know already, but some do not...

Matt and I are getting married!  Yes, finally!  (Pigs are flying by me as I type.)  Needless to say, we are thrilled and now comes the fun part...planning a celebration!  Now, this blog is called Mateo & Elise, not Mateo & Elise's mommy and daddy wedding.  So, you will not here all about it here.  But of course this changes our family in the most positive way and I just had to share!

 Here is a not-so-good iPhone picture taken the night Matt proposed.  It's the only one we have, so I had to use it.  But, one of the most important things to take away from the picture is...yes, those are doughnuts on the table.  They were warm and were dunked in a custard dip.  But that's not the only reason why we are happy here...

Here's my ring.  It was Matt's grandmother's.  It's vintage. It's beautiful, and I love it!
