Welcome to our blog! We wanted to keep a record of our adventures and keep in touch with our friends and family that live in other cities. Matt was born and raised in Medicine Hat, Alberta and Jennifer was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Molly joined our family in January 2007, Caleigh was born in July 2008, and Miller was born in January 2011. Since then, we have been very busy raising our family and having a little fun along the way!

The Proposal...


During my time in Asia I found it hard to be away from Jenn everyday. Talking to her on the phone each day or night was truly the highlight of my day. After spending a few hundred dollars on phone cards I realized that Jenn was the most important person in my life and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. Being in a foreign country and working under difficult conditions was hard enough but each day her encouraging words and love renewed my spirit, pushing me through to a new day. Despite the difficulties of being seperated by half of the globe during a stressful time, I felt Jenn's dedication and commitment to me and that was a true blessing for me.

On my first weekend back to Canada Jenn and I went to Banff for the day and enjoyed a nice walk up to Johnston's Canyon Falls. I had the ring in my backpack and was acting a little neurotic the whole day about having my bag with me at all times. The time and place had been set but getting there seemed to take an eternity. After a nice dinner Jenn and I found ourselves on the summit of Sulphur Mountain. In God's presence and a sunset over the peaks the Rocky Mountains I asked Jenn to marry me. She said Yes! Finally, I was home and it was time to show Jenn my commitment to her...
