So this is the first of many to come.. hopefully... I will try to keep up with this although I fear that our life will not be nearly as exciting as one might hope. But we will see I will attempt to be diligent in keeping it up-to-date. As the picture denotes our most exciting news has been our wedding, which was wonderful and magical and everything you want your wedding to be...
We also have a new puppy!! But now he is not so much a puppy... he's a big dog now and pretty much runs our house. His name is Oliver and he is a golden retriever, just like his brother Cyrus. They are both very good dogs and love spending time with their parents, especially sleeping and taking up the whole bed. These dogs are our children and the only ones we plan on having anytime soon... Hence the name of our Blog... It would seem that there are only two male Mattes' left in the family who can procreate to continue the family name, us and Gary's cousin's Josh and Courtney, so the race is on to extend the family name and we hope that Josh and Courtney are the first to continue the family name.... as we won't be anytime soon...
