Fancy Date Night & Three NSV's

Hi All...  I am trying to be better about blogging, but for whatever reason it is hard!  However, I am VERY excited to share a few pictures from this weekend.  Dennis and I were invited to a black-tie event for a wonderful cause (Comfort Zone Camp which is a camp for grieving children) on Saturday night, and we went with some friends of ours... What a blast...

My 3 NSV's are that my size 14 dress that I bought a month ago was too big up top and my mother had to pin it, my collar bones are really showing well, and finally that shoes I had bought a while back but hadn't worn yet were too big - I bought them 20 pounds ago and they fit, but now they don't since I've lost more weight... YAY! (And thank god Zappo's has a 365 day return policy!!!)

The NSV's are kind of cheesy, I know... but those random little reminders are so fun.  It was so exciting to wear a cocktail dress (it was knee length) and to be there, comfortable with my arms showing even though the chicken wings are there and most likely will be for a long time.  Also, to look around and know that I was far from the largest woman in the room was really liberating.  I was SO comfortable - even standing up most of the night ... 80+ pounds ago I couldn't have done it... so horray for me!  What fun!


If you want to see some recent pictures of Lu & Liam, check out our family blog - I posted a few there from the last week or two... Lucia took 2nd and 4th places in her two horse show events this weekend!
