Ball Rebels

 

We thought that maybe this was finally the year that we would go to the military ball!  We aren't pregnant, no infant baby, Clay wasn't deployed or working.....holy cow...lets go!  We had good intentions, but in the end when Clay's uniform needed a few expensive tweaks, Laura's favorite RED fancy dress wasn't fitting just right, the tickets for the ball were expensive with no dinner provided just hors d'oeuvres, we decided to go on a group date with some of our buddies instead!  So, we all got dressed up, went to Shoguns restaurant (Definitely will be going back again - flavor, experience, everything was amazing!), and then went back home to play games and hang out.  What better night could we have had then eating sushi, stir fry, and yummy food, snacking on sugared treats, laughing, talking, playing games, and finishing up the evening by being introduced to a Mexican Horse Race complete with R-Ted by Jenny and Dave Hickman.  We were laughing so hard we were crying!  Sure, it wasn't the ball, but in the end I think it was even better!
