Congradulations Matt. See, all that sweat'n for nothing....that's great news.

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you! Now I just need to meet Katie one of these days! You'll have to keep us informed once you start planning the nuptuals. Now for the real pressure - designing the invitation!

Holy Crap! You like hardly ever post on Talblog, but here you are, outta nowhere, dropping the biggest bomb ever!

Congrats, that's fantastic news! Liz and I couldn't be happier for ya!

thanks guys,

hey liz, when are you and spurt coming for a visit? and do you know of any designers for the wedding invite! heh heh.

Not sure yet - still trying to plan the trip to B-more for July - any word from your camp if you're coming out this way?

hey matt, are you gonna tell everyone how you almost threw up? oh wait, that's probably personal information. nevermind.

felicidades!...we'll have to go out for tapas again next time i'm in town, as i'm leaving right now.

Awesome matt... you are awesome. Though the post could be a bit longer... For fuck's sake, write about it! Everyone needs to know how it all went down!

For fucks sake, ok. I'll give you some details. I always feel wierd about volunteering info until someone asks, its just my personality.

Friday: Mental Puke Fest begins. I call her mom to ask for the blessing. Piece of cake. We talk for 20 minutes about everything but, which is strange considering its the first time I've ever called her. Her dad takes pleasure in poking fun at me, making me feel even more awkward, but in the end they both are exstatic about the news. I tell katie I'm going on a press check at the end of the day when I'm really picking up the ring. Ahh, let the deceit begin.

Saturday: I can't believe I'm doing this and she has no clue. She thinks we're just going for a hike in marin as usual. We stop and have breaky at the Dipsea before heading up to the mountain. I don't know how I ate. I guess it helped I ran to the bathroom minutes before for the am anxiety poo. (sorry, too much info?)

Up to the top of mt. tam for awesome breathtaking views of the ocean, san francisco and marin county. We walk for about 15 minutes and I complain about stomach pain and ask if we can take a break... how about over here on this huge shaded rock overlooking a lush field of grass, followed by views of the ocean and stinson beach... it will have to do. I was so freakin nervous. I pulled out the card I made for her. Somehow managed to read it... this is where the details become a bit blurry, as I think I partially blacked out.

I could see it slowly starting to register on katie's face. What a great moment. I stood up, got down on one knee and popped the question. She was in happy shock. Tearfully she accepted. We then sat there for awhile and talked about everything leading up to that point.

I feel incredibly relieved and have fun incorporating the word fiance into my vocab for the rest of the day.

hillarious. am poo made me laugh out loud. now that's a good blog right there.

Sniff...sniff..Very sweet..I don't what to say...
except..the poo made me laugh too.
kiddin...all the best, man...

Oh Oh,Gotta go..the wife doesn't like it when I spend too much time online;)

OMFG ... congrats Matt! I am glad you guys are super happy ... I wish you all the best of luck, happiness, and love. To look forward to great times and look back on old ones! I am so very happy that another good friend of mine is tying tha knot ... now to get drunk! :P

Ummmm... yeah. I just don't believe this.

i am so happy that mark actually used "OMFG"... and "am poo" was possibly unnecessary, but hysterical. you gotta keep it real.

Hahahah rsvp, nice first post... elaborate? whyyyyy don't you believe?

Oh, I think you know. Matt was promised to me a long time ago.
