Date Night

Micah and I went on a date last night. We started off with some Thai food then went to Eagle Bowl in San Marcos to bowl. Much to our dismay, it was league night and no lanes were open all night. Ugggg. *Note to self: do not go to Eagle Bowl on Wednesday nights. So, we really had an itch to Bowl so we drove up to O'side to the super chic Surf Bowl.

Started our first game off with a pitcher of beer (of course, we were at a bowling alley, how could we not). Micah's score was 97 (ouch) and mine was 107. Not so great for either of us. After the first game we were all warmed up and ready to shred. Hence, me starting game number two off with a turkey. That's right folks, three strikes in a row . . . . ZING! I proceeded to get a total of six strikes for the game and two spares. With a total score for me of (drum roll please) 179!!! That's like the best ever. Of course I beat Micah, he got a measly 115. Ha, what an amateur.

Quick question . . . has anybody been to the U.S. Virgin Islands? St. Thomas? St. Croix?

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,
B

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.
