The Ball!

Our ball was so fun! Poor Eric had 24 hour duty the day before so when we got home the day of the ball I was waking up to get ready. I went to get my hair done while Eric slept. I had a dress malfunction but a friend of mine helped fix it and she also did my hair and makeup. Thanks so much girl! We of course were running late ..well Eric kept checking his watch like always. We had our gps, we missed a turn but we finally arrived with 10 minutes to spare! We decided to stay at the hotel that night, it was so nice. We arrived and I met a much of Eric's buddies, everyone looked fabulous. The ceremony was awesome. It makes me so proud that my husband represents this country. It was amazing to hear the history, and hear the man say "you are apart of something bigger than yourself" which is so true. It's not just a job. It's a lifestyle. I'm such a proud wife. Something about all the marines standing at attention while the colors were presented and while the national anthem was played by the parris island band. After the ceremony, dinner was served, as well as some chocolate cake, and a piece of the usmc birthday cake. We then got up and danced and danced and danced. (I love that my husband is a dancer. I can't wait for our wedding!) it was such an amazing experience. I am one proud marine wife <3 happy 238th birthday tomorrow November 10th to the marine corps. :) the hotel was beautiful! And then of course the next day we stopped for pizza and watched 2 movies in the theater before coming back to Beaufort. :) <3
