A little news for you!

This is just a quickie!!!!!

Jason and I got engaged on the 23rd September, while my folks where over here in Boulder for a few days. He did outside underneath a tree that we've had many important moments under. I said yes, there wasn't a doubt in my heart.
Then we got married on 11th October at Mission:Wolf. This was the legal part of it all, however it was a nice excuse to actually get married where we wanted to. We weren't going to drag our friends and family up to this remote location. Jess or KaKa was there, I managed to get her on a flight that arrived the day before the date we had chosen, Brit Jason's close friend from his flying days happened to be on a roadtrip through Colorado, so he hauled arse and made it. Then there was Linda aka Pathfinder, a very close friend of ours, and Kathy who has known us our entire relationship and before.
The six of us hiked up to prayer pole, oh and it was a little hike. We all reached the top out of breathe, and I was nervous. I said you see I will climb anything for you......!
We all caught out breathe and the Linda called in the 4 direction, north, south, east and west. Jason started off the ceremony and it was beautiful. The wolves howled, the coyotes hooted and out marriage was made on the new moon, while the sun was setting.
There was tears, laughter, hugs, kisses, true expressions from the heart and connections made all around.

This is your brief account of it, and I promise my pepsicles to write an in deepth one, oh yes you'll have to wade through another one, but I know you love it deep down. It has been a rollercoaster ride and continues to be so. That is my life and I love, wouldn't have it any other way. Though a small break at the moment wouldn't go a miss.
So now I'm no longer Alexandra Claire Weir, I am Alexandra Claire Weir Lawrence. I couldn't take out Weir altogether, so it's now another middle name, like a needed another one, but hey it works.

A fruo fruo ceremony will be next year. We don't know when, where or how, but there will be one. After we have closed on our land we're buying in Southern Colorado, moved into our new house, got my green card sorted, packed up my flat in London (sad I know) and moved my stuff over here, we'll be able to sit down and work out where and when. The two most important questions to answer.
It won't be near Bobsters and Inga's in March, I wouldn't do that to you guys, esp after Dave's wedding in OZ. We're all globetrotters so another trip for you all won't be a bad thing, or unwelcomed.

There you have it, I found my soul mate, my spiritual partner, my husband and my best friend, finally!!!!!! I've been searching like us all for so long, and now I can settle into this, and start focusing on other aspects of my life. Career here I come....!

I know a lot of you haven't meet Jason yet, but there is time, the rest of my life for that. I know that you will love him, and realise how amazing he is for me. I won't hold back, we argue, he kicks my arse, loves me for me (a marvel), treats me like a queen except when I'm being a petulant teenager, smiles and loves we when I'm being neurotic (ouch it happens), but most importantly we demand the best from one another and except that we are a continually work in progress, oh and oh my god he makes me laugh!!!!!

So to all of you my friends I can't wait for you to share with us, our lives and know that you all are welcome to Boulder, esp for the skiing season, you always have a place to stay with us.

I raise my heart to you and hope that you are all well, smiling, taking on the challenges of life with grace and being loved for who you are.
