One year ago today, the Law Office of Matthew T. Marcellino opened it’s doors for business.
There have been many moments that I have stood by Matt as an extremely proud wife, but this one takes the cake! So a few weeks ago I started working on a surprise anniversary gift {which is really hard to do when you share a credit card}. Using one of the pictures from his website photo shoot, I decided to write out all of his accomplishments {that I was aware of} in his first year of business to frame. By the end of the list, I had tears streaming down my face. Not only was I extremely proud of Matt, I realized how blessed we’ve been this past year.
A few nights ago, Matt and I celebrated early with a delicious dinner at our favorite restaurant, Zada Janes. Halfway through our meal, the perfect moment arrived for me to pull out the small wrapped gift from my purse. Curious and excited, Matt opened the box to find the picture of his accomplishments. When he got to the bottom of the list he looked at me confused and said “1 official shirt?” I motioned for him to dig further into the box, where he found…his first official shirt! He absolutely loved it, and for a moment I was concerned he was going to change into it right at our table out of excitement. Thankfully, he waited till the next morning to wear it…
Matt,
I am so proud to be your wife. I know I tell you that often, but I honestly think you are so humble sometimes that you completely forget how awesome you truly are. Taking a leap of faith to “hang up a shingle” was a huge risk, and I am so thankful that everything has worked out much better than we had even hoped for. You are more courageous than I will ever be. Thank you for putting in the hours to provide for our family. This journey has brought us so close together, and I promise to continue cheering you on for all of the new challenges and triumphs to come as you continue to pursue your passion! I love you with all my heart. Happy anniversary!
Love,
Christina
