Why we're setting up this Blog

We wanted a central location for all our family and friends to come to, to see what's going on in our lives. So to catch some of you up on what's been going on in the Monroe household over the last couple years (don't worry, I'll be brief):


Matt and I got married on October 15, 2005 after dating for 3 1/2 years:

John and Jackie Corriher; Katie and Matt Monroe; Pat and Marty Monroe


After living in various neighborhoods surrounding Atlanta, Matt and I bought our first house in Decatur, GA in February 2008. We were lucky enough to find an older house that had been renovated so it was ready to move in and we didn't have to do any of the hard work!



Our 4 legged children:
Sam, (a.k.a. Samu Ljac Son) age 10 1/2

Lash, (a.k.a. LASH NO!!) age 4

Frank (a.k.a Frank the Tank), age 5

Meredith (a.k.a. Dr. Grey), age 2

What's going on with Matt:
Matt is currently working at Shorty's Pizza in Tucker. He won Pizza Maker of the Year in 2008! In addition to working Full Time, Matt is also enrolled in classes at Gwinnett Tech in Lawrenceville, going for a degree in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management. He began this chapter of his life in January and is loving every minute of it (well most minutes that is). We're all so incredibly proud of him!!!!!

What's going on with Katie:
I'm still working at the Office of the Georgia Capital Defender in Atlanta. I can't believe I'm going on 7 years this June, boy does time fly when you're having fun... My title now is Capital Case Manager. I also work a couple nights a week at Sabroso in Little 5 Points. Currently I'm waiting tables, but will soon go back to Hosting.

Our newest and most exciting news:
After a year and a half, I found out in March that I'm pregnant!! I'm due November 4th. We are completely blessed with the fact that we will be bringing a new life into this world!!! Needless to say our household will be even crazier come November! We're still not sure what we'll be having, but we will be finding out. Once we know, you will all know.
Here is a picture from our latest UltraSound, I was 12 weeks, 6 days:

I think that's all for now. Hopefully I'll be good about posting news and events!
Thanks for taking the time to read it! Love you all!!
Katie and Matt

  5. Congratulations on the new blog people. Now let's get your twitter accounts linked to the status of your Facebook page while blog posts get aggregated into your Wall. Then we'll do a back flip...with a twist and sing a lullaby.
