Army Ball

About a month ago we went to an Army ball. It was a first for us, and I wasn't particularly looking forward to it. Not so much because I didn't want to go, but because the idea of finding a formal gown to fit over my maternity shaped self was not going to be easy. There was no way I could justify spending a lot on a dress I would only wear once. Thankfully I found this awesome dress online. It wasn't too expensive, but I didn't know if it was going to fit or not. I didn't have time to do an exchange if it was wrong in any way. But, I bought it anyway and it was perfect! I spent a couple days shopping around for matching accessories and even that went better than I had hoped.  


It was really fun getting all dressed up with Christopher and leaving the girls with a sitter for the evening. Needless to say, Christopher looked amazing in his class As. He's a stud. :)


There was a lot of drinking, which wasn't surprising. I got a really dirty look from one woman who thought I was drinking an alcoholic beverage from the bar. It was sprite with cherry in it. I suppose it looked like whatever fruity little cocktail she was drinking herself. She looked at my drink, looked at my belly, and then glared at me with the meanest judgmental look ever. I, of course, in all good taste stared back and took a bigger sip.  She probably thinks I'm the worst mom ever. Oh well.
