Marine Corp Ball


Every year, David and I go to the Marine Corp Ball. This year, his work only has 12 active duty marines and 1 navy corpsman. But they have 90 reservist who were also required to come. The past couple of years, due to his large commands, it was only his work. This year, it was nice to see a lot of retired marines to come and their families. David and I were able to sit with our good friends, eat horrible food, and due to exhaustion, leave before the dancing even started! i think we were asleep before 11 pm that night! Some of my highlights for the day:
1. Got my toes done
2. Got ready with my good friend Thaomee
3. Thought my 2 friends and I looked the best. We didn't look like hookers like half of the wives/girlfriends did.

It was nice because David wasn't in the ceremony so we were able to sit next to each other.

Here is a picture of my friend Thaomee and I.


Thank you Jeni for making me such a beautiful custom dress! I love you! And Thaomee also made her way awesome dress!

Yes, what a cute dress. Jeni did a great job sewing it and you did a great job modeling it. Thank you for upholding a more modest look for society. I'm glad you had fun.

Krissie, you look great! I missed going to the ball. You and David still look as happy as ever. Sorry we won't be heading through New Mexico. We are going up to Idaho and then across the middle states. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
