A great weekend...

Hi Everyone!!! We're back from Iowa... had a WONDERFUL trip - my whole family was there, which hasn't happened in a long time and it was so nice to catch up with everyone! I am not going to write much but here are a bunch of pictures... In terms of weight stuff, I'm up a few pounds - not surprising because I truly enjoyed myself. I did have a MAJOR NSV on the plane... I hadn't flown since July, and fit easily in the seat, had about 6 extra inches of the seatbelt (where in the past I had to use an extender) and, drumroll... the tray table actually sat flat on my lap without hitting my stomach! Whoo Hoo! And I had an inch to spare! It was pretty darn cool... Missed all of you - more to come later!

All of my cousins (minus one)... Great time!

You look amazing! Did you feel totally sassy and sexy in your dress? What did Dennis think?

Thanks for sharing the pictures! Dont even worry about those few pounds they will be gone soon enough! We cant ALWAYS be on our best behavior!

Don't know who is prettiest - the bride or your daughter! You are looking pretty terrific too!

Sarah, you look wonderful! The dress is perfect and your face is so thin! I love the flying NSV, it is a real noticable event, I agree. The extra weight will be gone in a flash! Looks like a wonderful family time.

Thanks all - And Amy - yes, I totally felt great in the dress - and comfortable even when my pashmina wasn't on!!! Nice thing to experience! Not sure what Dennis thought - he did say I looked nice... he's not a man of many words! lol
