Well, competition is a little less than two weeks away, I picked up my custom made dress at the rink yesterday. When I saw it hanging up in the hockey room, I noticed the waistline, and how beautiful the dress is, and I cried. Never in a million years did I think I would be preparing to skate in a competition. It just boggles my mind sometimes that I fit in this (and other small clothing items).

After my fitting, I skated in it for practice just so I could get used to it. I have only skated in a practice dress, and that is back when I was a young teenager. Oh, that old practice dress also fits again, but it is worn out, and very early 80's. No pic in that one.

The first one was taken at the rink right after the fitting, the second one was taken by Mike when I showed it to him.

You look AMAZING and I'm so proud of you. I feel that we are living in a dream world ever since we both have hit goal. We are now able to do things we only wished we could do before we had WLS and now look at us. Continue to reach for the stars and follow your dreams because, nothing is stopping you now my beautiful ice ballerina.
