The ball

How has it already been so long since I posted? Time flies when everyone is sick, I guess, or we lose track of time? I dunno. But it would figure that two days after we start school we're all sniffling and coughing and I can't tell you how many boxes of Puffs Plus Lotion and bottles of Robitussin we've been through in the last 10 days! Glad to be better again!

Even though I was still half sick (can you be half sick? or maybe I was half well?) Chris and I went to the Air Force Ball on base. We had to buy our tickets weeks ago and not foreseeing illness we bought them, so I was going no. matter. what. Here's a picture:

Only I forgot to tell Chris to take OFF his glasses! Always, always, always, take off the glasses to take a picture. Or wear contacts and avoid that route altogether. :)

Back to the ball - it was our first one. I think the last time I went to a nice event the Air Force put on was right after OTS about 6 years ago. I hope that we can make it again next year and the year after that and . . . you get the point. But even comparing this one to the last one it looked like a professional decorator had come in and decorated. We had seat covers and I even had to dig deep and remember which fork to use because they had three sitting on the table!

We arrived and began looking for our table and which one did they put us at? The table with the full bird Colonel and Lt. Colonel. Yeah, I'm still not used to Chris' job of working for a full bird even though he's nice as all get out.

Even sick and nervous we had the best time! I am so glad that we went and can't wait to go again!
