Air Force Ball

Every year, the Air Force puts on a ball, and almost every year Tim and I attend. It's fun to go because we can dress up nice, I do my hair all cute, and we go and mingle with friends, have dinner, listen to speakers, and watch people get drunk and are very thankful we'll never have that problem! This year I was really hoping to wear this gorgeous red ball gown I'd purchased over a year ago, but I was just too darn pregnant to fit into it, I guess it'll have to wait another year before it will make it's appearance on the blog! I wanted to go this year, even though I would be by myself, because it's important to me to stay involved in the extras. I enjoy spouses group socials, meetings, and of course the parties. I also feel like by attending these functions, I'm supporting Tim, and all the hard work he does. Tim's boss picked up a ticket for me, and brought it over, which solidified my decision to attend. It was nice, because this was the first time I've been out without the kids since Tim's been gone, and I really needed that. If Tim had been there, he would have snapped TONS of pictures, but there wasn't much that was so meaningful to me that I felt the need to capture it forever, but since we always like to take pictures of our food, here's what we had for dinner. Don't be deceived, it may look tasty, but in reality it's club food, and club food is good in the fact that I didn't have to cook it, and that's about it.....

Corben was my photographer on these next shots. I needed to document my 26 week belly. Yup, it has blossomed, and when I say blossomed, I mean It's suddenly grown so big I feel like a whale.....

This one is for Tim, he loves closeups. Here ya go hon, I missed you, it would have been a lot more fun if you'd been there with me! If you can't tell, my maintainers wrench is on my sweater, and my pearls you gave me are there too! I love you!
