So Marine Corp Ball 2012. Way fun to get all dressed up and purdy. Makes me think we need more outings like this. The ball was in Richmond, about an hour away. So we hopped in our carriage and my prince charming drove us to the ball. It was cocktail hour when we first got there so we mingled a bit and Andrew drank his Dr. Pepper. Everyone looked spectacular. Then we were ushered in for dinner. They presented the cake. The oldest Marine there gets the first piece and the youngest Marine gets the second. They had two speakers and then we ate. After dinner the dancin' began. We stayed for a few songs, but the songs lasted forever which made us not want to last forever. So we left around 11 and got home a little after midnight. Perfect timing.
