Victory!!

We had a full weekend, and I have so much to write about, so many photos to download from my camera, doctor up, and post, with explanations... a longer update is to come, but I had to share some very exciting news, first.

I wore a pair of pants to church this morning that I haven't been able to fit into since before Theo was born!!!

(and, I could breathe.)

Imagine my little personal victory celebration, complete with dance and shouting!

Fabulous news! A brilliant feeling. I have a pair tucked at the back of the wardrobe in the hope that one day I'll be doing a little victory dance in them! Thing is...I'm going to have to run 20 miles a week to make it happen aren't I?? well done!

That IS a great feeling. I am also sharing in that joy. Now unfortunately AND fortunately need a whole new slack wardrobe. Maybe after Christmas. Having my pants fall off when I bend over at work could be a professional issue :D Way to go girl. Can't wait to give that skinny booty of yours a hug!
