Christina and Micah's Wedding

Last Thanksgiving, the halfie crew drove (yes, *drove*) down to Birmingham, AL to celebrate Christina and Micah's wedding. We stood around the kitchen with the bride's father,

made some new friends,


and sampled the down home cuisine.


What I'm trying right there is a specialty of Micah's family. It's orange jello with a marshmallow topping, sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese. I don't think it needs further explanation.
While the menfolk watched the football game, the ladies gathered to get a preview of the wedding dress.


A lot of Christina's family had come. There were pleats to be arranged, bling to be decided on, and a sister to snuggle.





Then we had a song, courtesy of Christina's mom.


Afterwards, we went out with friends of Christina and Micah's to sample some of Birmingham nightlife. Dinner,

and dancing, of course!

To quote a friend: FU 2009



I GOT A NEW CAMERA! The Canon G11. Thanks Claud, Matthias & Eleanor!! Haven't figured out how to use it yet so these pictures are pretty middling, but here's the quiet part of my new years eve. Oh yeah, also, Carl & Ros announced that they got married last week and are having a baby--what!!!! So happy for them.
