Regular readers know that my blog is more of a "corkboard outside the office door" than a personal diary. But some things need to be shared. We got engaged yesterday! The future Mrs. Matteo is my lovely girlfriend, Monica. We had our first date back in March, 2005, and became a couple about a year ago. She's a wonderful Catholic girl from a big eastern Oregon farm family (she has 8 brothers and sisters). It's been so much fun courting her!

ReplyDeleteYou can see this relationsip is blessed. Just look at the Spirit in their being. I already love Monica and have never met her! Congratulations you two! May the Lord bless you, lead, guide and protect you.
Love Nancy
Monica,
ReplyDeleteI got tears in my eyes as I read your account of your proposal- How romantic and meaningful considering your earlier thougts and ties to relating to the Poor Clare convent.
You will now consecraate (Make holy and Christlike)yourlife for the building up of your family husband and all those that are blessed to associate with you. There is no higher calling than being a mother, wife and beloved daughter of God.
May the Lord Bless you and your marriage and family.
With Love and admiration,
Dick Peery
