The wedding pictures, however, are almost done. I'm just waiting on a few extra ones from C-Man's aunt. Here's one of my favorites. Thanks to I-ROCK for taking it.

I've been married to C-Man for exactly one year today, and it's the most fabulous thing. I'm so glad he was bored in the law school library one day and looking at online personals.
