Guys, I found a dress! Last week I talked about not having a dress for the formal because I had grown out of the one I was planning on wearing...but the next day I went on a 3 hour shopping trip and found one that worked and was comfortable. It was a pretty awesome deal.
This was my 4th military ball I have been to, and it was my most favorite one to date. The event was held at Abe & Jake's Landing in Lawrence, a beautiful venue for a formal event. The food was decent, but most of all, the keynote speaker was actually interesting and engaging. He was a retired Navy Captain, and had all of the students and staff laughing, cheering, and participating in his speech. We all left with a renewed sense of camaraderie, morale, and pride for our Country.
I met Marshall's classmates and really enjoyed the evening with them. They were all excited to meet "Adams's wife," and they said I lived up to their expectations. phew! :) It was the most enjoyable dinner conversation I've had at a military event.
During the social hour, we had a great time taking pictures and being ourselves. It can be a little awkward at first when you arrive at a large event such as this, but going outside to the patio and taking silly shots helped relax us to be able to enjoy such a great evening.
We left before the dancing began, but by that time it was 9:30 and we were both ready to be at home and out of our formal attire. Fun memories had been made, but now it was time for sleep.
