Went to the Dance...

Submitted by CordeetMente on Mon, 03/31/2008 - 12:26am.

DH got sick that morning. He was in bed all day and we were hoping he'd rest up and manage to go with me. This is one of the few occassions we get to get dressed up for and go out with adults in the year; we were both looking forward to it. We decided it was better I go alone than drag him along looking and feeling like hell. I had a good time, I saw everyone I wanted to, had a nice dinner with friends, didn't drink much and came home early - all in all it worked out pretty well. I didn't take my camera but here's a pic from a friend's:

And in this one you can see my dress in the background:

I bought the dress two years ago for NYE when my grandfather ended up having a stroke. It was like $20 and has been hanging in my closet since. I was glad to be able to finally pull it out.

Mama, I LOVE your dress! You look radiant in it. Good for you getting out--we all need to look pretty and be around other adults sometimes! I hope dh feels better, too.

I'm glad you went and had a nice time! I hope dh feels better soon and gets a chance to dance with his beautiful wife.
