Back...for a wee bit!

Hello dearest quilters!
I have returned, tanner, more relaxed and properly wedded and bedded :) I had an excellent time in Kauai. There is so much beauty on that island, we've decided that we'll be going back for an anniversary sometime in the near future. Also, incidentally, the island's museum was having a Hawaiian quilt exhibit (which they wouldn't let me photograph, even without flash :(...They also had a workshop, which I took, so I will be posting soon on my workshop class.
In the meantime however, some wedding stuff. Below is a picture of the ceremony taken by Erik's sister in law, Kelly. Now at least the many of you who asked, or were just curious, about what my dress looked like, can see. I'm looking forward to our photographer getting our proofs to us.

More pictures will follow, but we only got back from the honeymoon on Wednesday and I'm not very organized yet.
Karen and I taught the PTA kid's class the past two days (I like to hit the ground running when I get back into work :) and there is nothing like a bunch of 6-12 year olds who've never sewn to get you back into things in a hurry.
I'll post some honeymoon, and heaven forbid, perhaps even some quilting pics on Monday once I've had a chance to get my brain together. Of course then I'm off again for seven or eight days. Over a year ago my mom and I planned a trip to Churchill, Canada as a last hurrah together while I was still a bachelorette! Erik threw a wrench in those plans! But in any case, my mother and I are off to Canada on August 3rd to see polar bears and swim with belugas! Wahoooo! I'm very excited. Any vacation where you can't leave the lodge without a guard armed with a shotgun is my kind of vacation. And well deserved for my mom, who endured most of the wedding trauma, and made my special day perfect! So, I'll be posting until then, but there will be another brief outage.

Happy quilting everyone!
PS--Just for the record, I did try to post in Hawaii, but my old computer just couldn't handle the pictures.
