We had to go to a ball on Friday night. Sometimes it is nice to get all dressed up and go to these things and sometimes it's a pain, this one fell somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Overall it was really pricy, paying your babysitter $10/hour adds up. We had to be at the receiving line at 5pm so the sitter arrived at 4pm and we got home at 11pm, yikes! We also spent $30 each on beef and chicken not realizing that it was a Friday during Lent so we were pretty hungary by the time the evening was over. It was nice to meet more people though. On Saturday we meet with volunteers from the Make a Wish organization about Olivia's wish (more on that later on). Saturday evening we had some old friends over for dinner. One of my favorite parts about the "army life" is getting to see people again at different duty stations. These particular friends were from Colorado and it's strange to think that we've known them for so long. I made a fabulous Rachel Ray chicken dish (chicken breasts stuffed with blue cheese, green onions and pecans with a dijon mustard gravy). We had so much fun reminiscing that it was 1:30 am (with the time change) before they left. We felt like such night owls! Sunday flew by in a blur of laundry and cleaning and a walk to the park.
Someone may have had a bit too much to drink and decided that using his suspenders as a dance prop was a good idea. Fortunately no one was injured.
Maybe one day we'll finally remember to take pictures at the beginning of the night instead of at the very end, I look tired.
