Dear friends,
In the face of broken hearts, mending hearts, loss and all the other trials of life, I want to let this wonderful Mudcat family know that good news happens as well.
On Sept. 20, I will be married to my true love, Hunt Smith, who has come into my life and brought me joy and contentment. Click here to see the happy pair!
Many of you know the journeys I have been through and I want you to rejoice with me that happy endings do exist!
And keep your fingers crossed for a crisp clear afternoon- we want to be married outside by the pond where we make our home. But no matter the weather, it will be sunny in my heart.

Joyfully,
Allison

Sorry- we have a gig!
I didn't mention that we are embarking on a musical journey together- I've left my teaching job (otherwise I would be starting a new school year tomorrow...). We'll be playing for our morris teams the weekend of the Getaway as subs for our usual musician.
We will also be honoring the memory of my dear Byron, who died 5 years ago that weekend. One of Hunt's fine attributes is that he honors Byron for what he was in my life. But Hunt has shown me that there can be another chance at happiness.

But maybe next year...

Oh, Allison, I couldn't be happier for you! Congratulations on your new *job*, too!! What a wonderful person Hunt must be, to be so honouring about Byron. Has it really been five years? Wow.

May you have a sunny day, not just that day, but throughout your years together and have lots and lots of fun and love!

Well, Yes, I am just sorry I can't BE THERE for the "knot tying" as I am sure Musically, as well as in many other ways you two are "in Harmony" and with your friends around you it will be sweet music all the way. I hope to catch up with you in the near future and wish you both every hapiness and many joys together!!

LOL......We all love you Double L and wish you sunny skys, long happy days, and many great nights(;<))

He sounds like he's one lucky guy. Don't forget to remind him that if he doesn't do right by you that there is a whole website full of folks that will be happy to take him out to the woodshed. No pressure. Congrats!!!

Uncle Dave, I also twisted what she said, and was going to ask if they live beside a pond.

Seriously, I want to wish you the very best of everything this life has to offer.

LOL! We do live BESIDE a pond, not IN a pond, and I saw what it looked like as soon as I pressed the button to start this thread!
Thanks for all the good wishes, promises of protection, and warm thoughts. It's good to have happiness as the "default emotion" in my life again.

I wish you all the happiness in the world Allison.

Sometimes, in our dark days, it feels as if there will never agian be warmth and light and we can't really believe it when others tell us that things will get better. However, you are a shining example of what can happen.

Love to you both.

Congratulations, Allison, from another friend in Maine.

And, Spaw, you have certainly outdone yourself. I had no clue that you had such depths of empathy, but that's OK!

Cheerily,
