    Chaff is too dark a place for this, so I will sneak it in here but don’t tell Roger…

    I found my match and he’s been my friend for a long time. Our paths finally joined and nothing ever felt so right. We are both determined people ( cough…stubborn;) and even more so together. It was a private ceremony and then my daughter and his two kids threw us a little celebration which is something the two of us don’t really do: the cake, the pictures, lots of laughter but also genuine support .
    Life is short, too short not to live it authentically so here’s to that because we are both “something else”.
    Christopher and I are married but more than that we are partners in life and in love :)

    Congratulations, Kat – I wish you both a long and happy journey together!  (seems like yours is more of a pre-trip announcement, in that sense anyway)

    We are both determined people ( cough…stubborn)

    Haha, same here. 17 years about a month ago. Knew I wanted to marry her after three weeks (this was when I was still a student).

    How did you meet each other?
    Congratulations.

    @kattt

    Thank you all very much for the wonderful words and wishes:)

    How we met…apparently 19 years ago I stopped at the little coastal cafe on my way to the farm I was working at :  ” you walked in wearing Carharrt overalls, boots and a toddler on your hip and I thought Who Is THAT??”. Then about 3 years later I would see him while dropping Libby off to school in the same little town. He would also drop his kids off and had 3 beautiful  Aussies in his truck. I thought he looked grumpy. After a year of just seeing one another like that I finally smiled at him and he smiled the most heart warming smile back at me (we were both single but weary of dating while having little kids). Another year later his daughter was interested in the crafts I was teaching at the school and wanted to come over to play. That was the beginning of our relationship and after years of weaving in and out of each other’s lives, some growth and some pain, our paths finally aligned :):)

    Congratulations Kat (and Christopher)!

    Being determined myself, I can only imagine the two of you together :) Enjoy this trip of a life time! We haven’t seen each other in a while. May be we should plan another Skyline-to-the-Sea like weekend.

    All the Best!

    Thanks Craig and Jerry and Erik :)

    @Manfred thank you! Wait… you determined ( stubborn)  ??? Nah.. ;)

    But you did see me in action with that hammock and the ranger, eh?

    Let’s do a coastal trip…You would enjoy one another’s company as well.

    Hey Kat, Have you taken him to your stall?

    (that’s only a euphemism if you want it to be!)
