Navy Ball

 We went to the Navy Ball this year in October. We debated going because we didn't know if it was really our thing and we would have to figure out what to do with the kids and I didn't have a dress, etc. We decided it was a big hassle and that we weren't going to go, despite our friends efforts to convince us. Then one week before the ball Josh called me from work and said that if we go he gets the day off of work. Once he heard that he made the decision that we were going! {he would do pretty much anything to have a free day off of work...who wouldn't?!} I panicked because I didn't have a dress! I searched all over online for a cute dress that wasn't skanky and decided to order 2 just to be safe that I liked one and that it would fit, I didn't have time for it to not work! We got all dressed up and took our kids to the child care that was provided in the room next to the ball room. A few of our friends were there too, and they served a pretty dinner, that tasted good too! After dinner they showed a slide show and then anyone who thought they were special thought that they should talk so we snuck out to check on our kids, they were doing fine so we walked around the casino where the ball was being held. When we came back we said we would check on the kids and if they were okay we would go back in to the ball. When we checked on them Brinley was crying because it was WAY passed her bedtime so we decided to go. We found out later that we won a $500+ power tool set from home depot in the raffle. Josh's friends texted him and joking told him that he won a PS3. He was pretty bummed, but then a little relieved when he found out that they were joking and it was power tools!We never win anything so it would have been fun to stay, but we had fun while we were there.
