I cannot tell you how blessed I feel to have Matt Cox in my life! He is the most amazing man I have ever known. He is kind, loving, romantic, humble, HOT, and is perfect for me in every way! I don't know why or how I got so lucky but he has chosen me to be his bride! I love this man with all my heart and cannot wait to start our new life together on January 10, 2009!
Matt and I met about 5 years ago, when he came in to meet with my boss. We flirted a little and ended dating some but it never turned into anything more. Then a little over a year ago we ran into each other at a mutual friends wedding and chatted for a while. After that it seemed we saw each other in random places and always had a nice but short conversation. Then one day, out of the blue he called and asked if I would like to go try out this Cuban restaurant in Scottsdale. I agreed and we set the date for a few weeks in the future because our schedules were really booked. We went and had a great time and then I started seeing him a couple of times a week. It did not take long for me to realize what an incredible person he was and recognize that he was a good man in all aspects of his life.
About a month and a half later it seemed we were dating pretty seriously. We would talk about everything under the sun and always planned really fun activities and quickly became the best of friends.
Then on Monday October 6th, 2008 Matt took me on a pic nic we had planned a couple of weeks in advance. I thought it would be one of our regular fun dates and was excited to see him and enjoy his company and the outdoors. He really shocked me when after dinner he asked me to marry him and put that ring on my finger! Although, I knew in my heart it was heading that direction, we had never actually talked about getting married so he definitely pulled off a great surprise!
The Friday after our engagement we flew back to Boston to spend time with his family. It was the first time I would meet my new in laws and I must say it was like going home. We had a wonderful time together and I fell as much in love with them as I am with Matt (well close anyway). Being with him in Boston with all his family and friends he grew up with gave me a deeper appreciation for the man he is and increased my love for him even more.
He is the kind of man every girl dreams of having in her life and I am so excited to get to spend the rest of eternity with him!

Oh Nedra!! I'm just SOOOO happy for you! I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks! Sorry I haven't been on the blog in a while. Honestly, I think there is something about my computer screen's color and your blog's colors that makes your blog very difficult for me to read. Weird.
