Happy New Year!

Every year I spend New Years in Utah with my family. This year I went home earlier so I came back earlier. My good friend Melinda invited me to go with a group to "The Legwarmers" concert. Oh my gosh it was so much fun!!! We met earlier at Allison Pond's house and got ready. I had nothing to wear because I can't fit into any of my clothes. I have one pair of jeans that fits--though a bit uncomfortably--from before I lost the weight (that I have now gained back and more). Melinda let me borrow legwarmers and a long sleeve black shirt and Allison let me borrow this t-shirt. My sister Julie bought the crown for me as a stocking gift. It actually lights up and blinks around the flower in the center. Very cool! I was so happy to have it. Tons of people had New Years hats on at the concert, but mine was the best. :)

Me, Michelle, Erin, Melinda, Suzette, Allison showing off our hard work making us into 80 chics.

Melinda and Suzette brought makeup to put on. Melinda had blue eyeliner and silver with sparkles eyeliner. It looked so great! I also used a lot of blue eye shadow. Oh the 80's. :) Personally so glad not to be in them anymore.
Here we are at the concert. Me, Melinda, and Erin. She had leopard print/leather pants. They were great.
Here is the band. It got really packed. They had a balcony upstairs where there were fewer people so some of us were up there and were really having an amazing time dancing, screaming, singing. Just before midnight I went down and joined the rest of the group as they had balloons fall from the ceiling at midnight. Cindy had given me glow-stick bracelets so I brought those with me and gave them to people. It was just a blast! Most people dressed up in the 80's style. It was so fun to see what people wore. The band was awesome.
Here are Michelle, Liz Anderson, Allison, Suzette and me.

It was such a fun way to ring in the new year. I just felt alive and crazy. I haven't been dancing like that in ages and you were supposed to be crazy so it was awesome!!! Happy New Year!
