My First Formal Army Event

This weekend is my very first formal Army event. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm also a little nervous. I hope I don't trip or make a complete ass out of myself. This is a dinner and my dress is ivory, so there is a good chance I will have to walk around half the evening with a food stain on my chest. Excellent.

However, I am a girly girl, so any opportunity to wear a pretty dress and heals is okay by me. Plus, we get to stay in a hotel and that is always a fun little adventure in my book. I don't have to make the bed or clean the bathroom and ROOM SERVICE!! Breakfast in bed is always a good thing.

Anywho...this is a pic of my dress. I love dressing up!

Very pretty! I hope you have a good time!

In 7 years of service we've never gone to a formal military event :( My husband hates them and half the time wont even tell me they're going on. Well, there was ALS graduation which was semi-formal. But I was 8 months pregnant so it wasn't exactly fun finding a dress. (Actually it SUCKED big time)

You'll have to fill us in on how it goes!

I love your dress! It is really beautiful! I love dress up things but my husband does all he can to get out of them. We have gone to a few, though.

That makes me want to go shopping for a just-in-case-dress!

Love the dress!! We have the MC Ball every year (when he's home, so really is every other, every two sometimes!). Its always a fun excuse to drop the mommy uniform and look nice for a night.

Mrs.~
I hope you get to go to one soon! Aside from all the fun, it was great to meet so many other spouses.

Every woman should have just-in-case dress (or two or three). Have fun shopping!

It was so much fun getting to dress up, especially in a formal dress. After high school proms, you never really have anything to wear them to, but now I get to do this at least once a year!
