After almost three years in the Army, we finally got to go to our first Military Ball!
What made it even better, was that my friend Ashley was Buck's date. She is a fellow blogger, and although her blog is on hold for the moment, this totally counts as a blate.
Isn't she absolutely gorgeous? My Lebanese beauty...

It was a night of sexy men in uniform:
Dessert before dinner. Helloooo German Chocolate Cake:
And of course, adult beverages!
We even got to witness a proposal!
This dude was so smart to capitalize on the occasion. Very smooth dude...
Dress: J.Crew Bridesmaid dress repurposed
Shoes: Burlington's $20
Necklace: Cheap-O store $5
Stylin' on a budget? Priceless.
It's hard to really put into words what a night like this encompasses. These soldiers just returned from Afghanistan so there was much celebration, and yet sadness was present for the soldiers that didn't make it home from this deployment. It was a surreal experience, celebrating when the fallen will never celebrate again. All we can do is be thankful.
Thankful for those who serve and thankful for those who give the ultimate sacrifice.
Mostly, I would like to thank my Mr. for returning safely to me. He graduates from his training course today, so I will be enjoying the heck out of him this weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend too :)
