Wow... time flies when you're having fun! July came and went and August is almost over. I'm not complaining, though... I love the Fall and all that comes with it. The changing of the leaves, the smokey scent in the air, candy corn and not to mention... the cute and new clothes I get to wear! Just thinking about it makes me giddy! What makes me even happier is the idea that I am at 75% of my goal weight. As of today, I have lost 143 pounds!

So, to catch you up...

On July 26th, my friend, Nina Hollis, became Nina Brandt. She invited me to be her Maid of Honor and Autum Barcalow as a Brides Maid. It was a beautiful day at the Denver Temple.

As you can tell, her colors weren't "Blush and Bashful"... they were Black and White.

Later that evening, Nina and John had a beautiful reception that included white lights, a drop ceiling, dancing and yummy food! As you can see, I decided to wear a different dress that night. Janet and I were able to steal a moment away from the evening to get a picture together.

Autum, Janet, Tim, Emma, Heather and I were able to capture a group picture. Don't we look FABULOUS? Just think... someday, you'll be able to take group pictures at my wedding.

In the latter part of July and early part of August, Mike and Miss Julie visited, all the way from England. Mike and Trenton are notorious for making Sushi and so together... a feast was born!

Ah yes... another pose with Janet! I tried Sushi for the first time! I've had California Rolls before, but Mike made me try this shrimp/bacon Sushi that he made. MMM-MMM-Good!

Well, before I sign off, I wanted to leave you with one last photo. This picture is the most recent photo of my progress. I'm wearing a size 18 and still counting! I haven't been in an 18 since... I don't know when!

Until next time...
