Wedding dress

A year ago last month Spencer and I made some major changes that we've talked about quite a bit since then.  While it started out for me a way to lose weight (and hopefully quickly), it has changed into our lifestyle.  We have no plans to change.  We feel really good about what we're doing for ourselves and for our children.  I'm not going to lie, though, the weight-loss has been really fun.  I've lost a total of 36 pounds.  Since December it's only been 2 - it came off really fast.  I am healthier than I've ever been in my life and feeling great.

So that's not what this is about, though.  While at my parents I decided it would be a really good chance to try on my wedding dress.  What a great way to celebrate a year of health.  I fit better in my wedding dress now - after four kids! - than I did when Spencer and I got married just over 7 years ago.

Eden took some pictures with her fancy camera, but since I haven't gotten those yet, these pictures that my mom took with my phone will have to do for now.





And, who knows, maybe now that I fit again I'll be able to find somewhere to wear it!

But can Spencer fit into your dress? That, I'm afraid, is the real test. In an unrelated point, there's no not-awkward way to compliment a married friend of the opposite gender on how she looks in her wedding dress.

Yea! I love it, go you guys, that is so hard. I have told my Spencer that if I can get down enough to fit in mine again, then we'll rent him a suit and get our wedding pictures redone, since our photographer wasn't good!
