    We wanted a Gaelic name to go with our Scottish heritage. We each had unlikeable aquaintances with almost every Gaelic name in existence so we went with Alasdair since neither of us knew one.

    I'm a teacher and with that I have heard almost every name imaginable, spelled every which way. Every name reminds me of a student that I had in class. Boys names we were set and made our decision fairly early, but it was really hard to figure out a girls name we both agreed on. We eventually settled on Mara. It was a mix of both of our names put together Matt and Sarah.

I turned on the water, water heater, electricity, carried the dogs cage in and of course made sure the T.V. worked. My parents and brother had campers right next to ours. The Friday night ritual was once everyone got up north, got unpacked, we would make frozen pizzas, have a few drinks and si

The Proposal

My wife and I met through a mutual friend that I was currently teaching with. She was trying to get us both to meet by having us in the same spot and make it seem random. With how awkward that sounded to us, we decided after talking online a few times to just go on a first date. It was the first blind date I ever went on.  I remember feeling extremely nervous and was not sure how it was going to go. Fast forwarding and now almost 5 years of marriage, I would say the first date went well enough for us to get to this point! The first time driving up to her house my heart was beating so fast and the little moths in my stomach were turning into butterflies flying frantically about. I remember contemplating as I pulled into her driveway, “I hope she likes the flowers. I hope what I am wearing is OK. I hope we have enough things to talk about for the night.” On our first date we went to dinner and then went mini golfing. I was trying to be a gentleman and let her win, which was very har
