Flashback Friday -- Say Yes to the Dress


Please excuse the ridiculousness of the following pictures!!!  {Because seriously -- there is nothing goofier looking than a 34 yr old mother of 5 squeezing into her wedding dress from over a decade ago.  Hahahahaha.}

At the beginning of the year, as Scott and I were formulating our "Dream Big" resolutions for the new year, I came up with exactly 2:  Fit into my wedding dress by our anniversary and make some friends.  And let the record show that I have officially checked off both goals and the year isn't even halfway over yet! 

 {Although "fitting" is a relative term. Hahaha.}

 I was squeezed in like a sausage, but I got it to zip all the way up! Now if that's not something to smile about, I don't know what is.  :)  Hahahaha.

{Posing by an original picture of me in the dress.}

You should have seen the looks and laughs I got from all of the kids as they saw me posing for pictures in the front hall after dinner.  There were a whole lot of comments like "Mom!  You can't go outside like that!" and "People will see you!"  Hahahaha.  I didn't go outside {just in case you were wondering} but it was a rather fun little photo shoot.  Because every now and then, dreams really DO come true.  :)  Hahahaha.

Love it! I went through a few months while on the crazy diet I had to do for Henry that I could fit in mine, and was quite pleased, but didn't think to take any pictures. You are looking great--it's pretty awesome how good it feels to accomplish a goal!
