July 29, we got legal. :) There were games, prizes, finger puppets, Mexican food, margaritas, and cupcakes. There was much laughter and quite a lot of knitting! It was 95 degrees outside, but we took some lovely outdoor photos anyway.
Thanks to our knitting friends who attended and showed their support: Best Woman of Loops fame and her winged munchkin, The Grumperina, the Dilletante Debutante and family, Ride, Knit, Read(who has got to be the knitting blogger who lives closest to us), Fallingblox and his lovely lady. The DD gave a lovely toast: "What fate has knit together, let no man frog." :) So what if only ten percent of the guests got it? :) Omar's mom and sister are knitters, so I'm sure they appreciated it. There are some more photos here. You'll notice the dress I'm wearing is not the one I posted before, and no, I don't want to talk about it. ;) All in all it went very smoothly.
There is more exciting news. We are packing up and moving across the country in less than a month! After a full year of feverish job searching, I finally secured a job teaching high school English in a small charter school in the Phoenix area. My first day is August 17! This has all happened so fast, I haven't knit a stitch in months! But I am planning to cast on something simple and in the round to ease my transition from single lady of leisure of the Northeast to married and gainfully employed diva of the desert! I flew to Phoenix on Sunday and came back Tuesday, so all in all, it has been the busiest week ever. Omar is also getting his own little web business set up, so everything is changing all at once.

Lovely photos! My favorite is you adjusting your headpiece in the mirror! Are all those flowers Gerber daisies?

Congratulations, you both look stunning together. I must ask, where did you get your feather look? Did you make it? If so, you should give us some detail shots so we may all sport this wonderful look onto the street and into our workspaces!!
