100 pound celebration!!!

The past year and a half has been amazing! Difficult in so many ways but amazing none-the-less. As I look back on pictures of the "old" me I don't recognize the girl in the pictures. I can't believe I let myself get to where I was and am so grateful that I've gotten to where I am now. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude to all that have been my cheerleaders through this first 100 pounds...THANK YOU for standing by me and for putting up with me. I know I can be a handful :) Just ask my parents! To celebrate 100 pounds down my amazingly talented friend, Mel (mdarlingphotography.com), and I had a photoshoot up Kolob Canyon! The leaves were just changing and the weather was perfect! I loved the way the pictures turned out. Enjoy!

Angels Landing :)

My friend Kim came down a few weekends ago and we got to go to Zions and hike Angels Landing! What an amazing hike! Difficult but so worth it. I have been told that it was a greuling one and so I mentally prepared myself...it turned out to not be as bad as I thought it would be. I was amazed at the beauty of the earth looking down from the top of Angels Landing. What a beautiful world we have been blessed with. I was overcome with gratitude for my many blessings. :)
