They did it! After four years of togetherness, they decided to make it official. Matt and Nicole became engaged August 2. (I'll add the engagement story later; it's really sweet.) The party to celebrate - a surprise for Nicole - was August 5. Matt, Aaron, and Jason worked for HOURS on Saturday preparing food - an amazing array of incredible food (list of it ALL coming later). The Grill King, aka Dennis, kept the burgers, ribs and chicken coming. And, Jefferson Bakery did a wonderful job with the cake. About 50-60 people came to share the celebration. A good time - and later in the evening, a rowdy time - was had by all. Matt and Nicole said no one embarrassed themselves too much. More on THAT later too. ;-)
