My list of "things I'm looking forward to" is shrinking, and one activity I have removed is "Mocktail 2007". Last night was the 2nd Annual Mocktail Party and it was a blast! The party was held at the Lone Peak Pavillion in Sandy. Sandra, Steph & Ali threw a fabulous party! There was dancing, a chocolate fountain & cheese fountain with finger foods, and excellent "Mocktail" drinks. My favorite was the Lime Rickey. I had 3 of them! Anyway, I had a really good time, surrounded by lots of friends and others who were there to have fun. I even made some new friends! As I compare last year's Mocktail to last night, I see a handful of differences that are worth mentioning here. First, the fact that I made new friends last night is huge! Last year I stuck by Mariah as if we were joined at the hip. But last night I talked to so many different people and danced more than I expected (And when I say danced, I mean I was on the dance floor when music was being played. I really can't dance at all). Several guys asked me to dance and I even asked a guy to dance (twice). I participated in a few of the group dances (the Chicken Dance, the Electric Slide...) which is totally out of my comfort zone, but I had fun. This year I bought my dress in August. It was on clearance at JC Penny for $24.97, normally $200! Steph picked it out and I think she did a great job. Last year, I wore the skirt I wore at Travis & Brooke's wedding. It worked, but it wasn't my favorite outfit. This year I had Staci do my hair in an up-do. I'm happy that my hair is long enough to do it up! And probably the biggest difference of all is that I've lost a lot of weight since last year. See for yourself!
It's hard for me to post this picture! But I love seeing the progress I've made over the last year. I don't think I look like the same person, and I know I definitely don't feel like the same person. I can't wait for next year's party!

Hey, cuz. I'm glad you had fun, and I'm way impressed when anyone gets out of their comfort zone...especially in a huge social situation. So, work it, girl!
