Military Ball

Over a week ago on Feb. 19th, we had our military ball and it was our 2nd anniversary! And boy did we have a blast. It was my first ball and I really didn't know what to expect. It was kind of like prom but we got to drink and they served us dinner. The food wasn't too bad, but wasn't the best either. They even did formal pictures that you do at prom. We got these really cool beer mugs to take home with us. It was a blast.

We had a great babysitter. She is one of the soldiers mom, and she did a great job. She had 4 kids at my house that night. My 2 ages 4 and 1. My friends son who is 9 months and another couples daughter who was 7 months. AND she didn't even charge any of us. We tried to pay her, but she wouldn't except it. She even brought a movie and a bunch of new toys for the kids, and she left them here. I couldn't believe it. She did a great job. I was a little nervous as we haven't left the kids with anyone we don't know. But she did an awesome job.

I can't wait til our next ball. I have 2 other dresses in my closet that I can't wait to wear. I couldn't decide which dress to wear, so I bought 3.

The day after the ball, my best friend left to pcs to Fort Drum, NY. I am really going to miss her. We went through a deployment together. We kept each other sain. She was like a sister. I am going to miss her. Our husbands were in the same unit so they got along, and well now there gone. I know its the military people come and go, but man I am going to miss her.

Here are some pictures of our night!!
