We Did a Thing (a month ago)

A lot of things in my life have played out in this blog, in flickr photos, in tweets. But that’s not everything. Not by far.

A wonderful new part of my life, a long vet that has been in development offline a long while, came on a month ago, when I stood on a cottage porch at sunset in Eastend, Saskatchewan, and joined lives with Cori.

How else to say it to the world?

After some back and forth of whether to do this, 2 days prior, with the help of Cori’s daughter Jessy Lee, we decided to hashtag it #alanandcori. Thanks for the big flood of responses.

Among many special things that went into the mix, after some indecision on picking rings, was working with a designer Allyson Simmie on a design of our own making, that represents the terrains we both came together from, the Mogollon Rim of Arizona meeting the prairies of Sasketchewan

There was a great back and forth by email with sketches by Allyson and our suggestions sent back via my Photoshopping:

In early May I packed up Red Dog and drove to Canada to live with Cori, we got married, moved to a new place, all in the busiest month of her teaching year.

And in my old age, took way to long to get a blog post out.

In fact, our first month anniversary seemed to be a national celebration with fireworks

And thus it is blogged. And now it is lived with the one I share a universe with, a universe of two that can exist on a patio, on a fence line, on a beach walk. I love you so, Cori.
