The fun thing that I had planned could have went either way. We went to the Air Force's Birthday Ball. Now, I have been to many Army Balls, but not AF ones, so I wasn't sure how they would be different, or if they would even be different. This one turned out to be...well, ok! The food was ok, we were in a hanger, which wasn't that great, but worked, and I found out that Tops in Blue is MUCH cheesier than the Army Soldier Show, but I was with my husband, who looked great in his mess dress! He wore his blues for our wedding because we had a casual ceremony, so this was my first opportunity, and he did not disappoint! His commander sat at our table and was quite a hoot to be around, and his wife was really nice too. His First Sergeant came stag and was quite entertaining to see bounce all around making sure things were on point. We danced, we drank (just a little), and we laughed with friends. So all in all it was an awesome night!
The only thing that I will complain about is that it is a trend at the army balls to give away the centerpieces. Well, no one took ours, so at the end of the night we decided to take it. As we were leaving, they totally stopped us and made us return it. Busted! Thanks for being so cheap, Air Force!
A picture of my hair at the end of the night. Still looked great!
The obligatory "prom pose."
