The Weather Channel online (www.weather.com) has this cool wedding day weather tool. Now, when I log in, it shows me my wedding day forecast!
It has changed!!
Wedding Day Forecast
Sunny. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s.
Oh happiness.
On another note, Jill Clarke and I shared a scare and a nervous laugh this morning. I received an email from our rental company that they were good to go and we were their first delivery today! Uh…
I immediately called the rental company, and Jennifer assured me that everything was fine, she just made a mistake in the email.
It was right about that time that I received a call from Jill, on my work phone…because she called my cell 3 times and texted me but it was on vibrate, so she called a church friend that would have my work number…and informed me that the delivery boys had called her to let her know that they would be delivering all of our items within the next hour!
Everything is all straightened out now. I called Jennifer at the rental company and apparently there is a wedding in Murfreesboro tomorrow in which a different Matt & Lisa are getting married. Oh the odds

Three Months
Hello People. It’s Matt. Long time no read.
Lisa and I have been together for one year as of last Saturday. A lot of things have happened to me over the course of that year; I moved twice. I was promoted at work. I saw the Smokey Mountains. I went to Knoxville. I watched and learned about Ultimate Frisbee. I went to Asheville. I saw the Biltmore. I ate at Rafferty’s for the first (and hopefully the last time) in my life. I started going to Christ Presbyterian Church. I met a LOT of people and made a lot of friends. I learned about weimaraners. I played with a weimaraner. I cleaned up after, yelled at, was bitten/scratched/tackled by, and danced around with a weimaraner.
I also learned a lot of things. I found a lot of love in my life that I hadn’t seen before.
It was, after all of that, a very humbling year. And every second of it was because of Lisa. I can’t imagine any other person that I would rather spend the rest of my life with. After her, and her family, and all of their generosity and love, and going to church with her, and spending nearly every waking moment of every day with her, I can honestly look back at the last year and feel overwhelmed with the anticipation of every moment of the next year, and the one after that.
Last night I wrestled with the sprinkler in the back yard, soaked my pantleg, sprayed the dog, assembled a spreader, and spread pesticide in the yard. I’m pretty close to being fully domesticated I think. Hopefully the yard will still be green and living when I get home from work today.
I know
Last night Lisa and I were running across the street behind the Exit/In and the wind was blowing so hard that I thought we might blow away into the sky. The wind was so loud it overpowered all of the other sounds of the city. We started to run as fast as we could until we got to my car, where we both attempted to pry the doors open and pile in. We sort of sat there for a moment, both of us looking out through the windshield, our hair all blown in all directions, both of us gasping and trying to put ourselves back together.
We looked at each other and I said what I always say to her at moments like that.
And I knew that I’d be remembering that moment forever.
