Boo-Hoo

I have a tear rolling down my cheek as I write this. No, nobody died, the Chargers lost to the Patriots yesterday. The San Diego boys put up a great fight though, the media said it was going to be a major blow-out but 21-12 is not that bad. I think I may not watch the Superbowl this year considering there are two of my least favorite teams in it, the Giants and the Patriots . . . eww.

On to more happy news, my parents and I went to Cirque Du Soleil's Corteo on Saturday night. Wow, I don't even know words to describe the show. It was so beautiful and the music was great, I would highly recommend this to anybody. I found tickets for about half price on www.goldstar.com. My favorite part was women wearing 20's style french boudwa (I know that's not how you spell it) twirling on contorting themselves while on giant chandeliers. Is it too much to ask to have that at my wedding? Yeah, I guess it is.

See ya,

Recommendations

A little help here . . . does anybody have any recommendations for wedding photographers, DJ's, florists, bakers, etc. in the San Diego area? Starting to look around for all the above and then some for the wedding and would like some help . . .

Go Chargers!

Holy crap, how was the Charger vs. Colt game on Sunday??? Chargers totally kicked booty despite all of the unfair calls. And awesome TD by Volek, who would have thought? I hope Peyton Manning cried himself to sleep last night.

As for next week against the Patriots . . . watch out Tom Brady, here we come!

It's Official

The future Mrs. Mattson

Congratulations

. . . to the San Diego Chargers on an ass-kicking playoff game. Way to make those Titans cry all the way back to Tennessee. Good job boys! Do it again next week and take us all the way to the Super Bowl!!!

Engagement Party

Our engagement party went just as planned . . . pure fun. The food was great (thank you Ricos), the drinks were great (thank you booze) and the company was even better (thank you friends). If our wedding is half as fun as our engagement party, we are in for quite a treat.

Thank you parents for throwing us such a great party. The Mattson 2 with special guest Dylan Raasch played an amazing jazz set, then DJ Chris Cote played the best dance tunes ever that got everybody moving.

Our Adventure Continues

So we have been back home in good ole California for almost a month now. It took us about a week to get over the jet-lag from three different countries and three different time zones.

Oh, I almost forgot! Micah proposed our last day in Bali! After five and a half years of dating, he finally did it, got down on one knee, asked my parents before he popped the question and everything. We couldn't be happier. Stay tuned for engagement party shannanigans and photos after the weekend.

I think we officially are living the white trash lifestyle now. By that I mean living in an RV. Uh-huh, that's right, I said an RV. Not really by choice, some family drama I don't want to go into. But, we are making the most of it. I mean, just lifting the blinds from our "bedroom" in the morning and having the beach right there is not too shabby. We even have Christmas lights! This is totally temporary though. We will be moving into one of my parents houses that they rent out soon enough. We will have a real house and a real yard with real grass (no astro turf like we have now in front of the RV).

If anybody would like to come down for a visit, give us a call and we'll tell you the campsite number. We are at Carlsbad now and will be "moving" to Cardiff tomorrow.

P.S. Congrats to our good friends Jason Weatherly and Leah Hsieh on the birth of their adorable son, Ryder Paul.
