Marine Ball

Our friends Captain Riley and Brook Ockerman invited us to attend a Marine Birthday Ball with them a few weeks ago. I ordered 2 formal dresses online and got the sizes all wrong. So I ended up scrambling for a dress the week before. The Lehigh Valley isn't the greatest place to find a modest formal dress. I feel bad for those prom dress seekers! I finally found this cute black dress at the Dress Barn (the last place I looked). I was a little sad about it because it wasn't the dress I was picturing but it turned out great. I of course do not know how to be a girl very well so my friend Codi so nicely agreed to do my hair. She did such a great job and I felt really pretty on the arm of my handsome husband!
The ball was pretty awesome, and I actually learned a lot about the marines. I still don't understand why their uniforms do not match...haha. It was really a fun night minus that part where Darin was IRATE with me for not booging on the dance floor all night. He is such a party animal! haha!
Nash enjoyed playing with my shoes!
Thank you to the Ockerman's, Codi, and Kayanna (our babysitter)) for a wonderful date night. This was the first time since our wedding we were able to dress up and go out together! SO MUCH FUN!!!
