This past Saturday, we went to our church fundraiser. It was Monte Carlo on the Peninsula. (the peninsula being South Baltimore). It was a fancy ticket price for a fancy evening. We had a great time with friends and neighbors. There was food, drink, gambling, prizes. Even though we didn't win the $10,000 prize, Peirce won a bottle of wine as one of the door prizes and I won a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant. Not too shabby!
Getting ready to go out felt like we were going to the prom. I was able to wear a bridesmaid dress from that I wore in my friend Susan's wedding. Susan and Justin will be married 10 years this year! It was great to finally have that dress that "you can wear again." I think I definitely can! And thank goodness that Peirce gave me the perfect necklace last Christmas that went with it perfectly.
It was a fun time. Unfortunately, we felt like Cinderella because we had to leave the ball just a tad bit early to race home to the babysitter. We were already a half hour late and it was a late night. Luckily, home was only 2 blocks away and my little heels did just fine on the city sidewalks.
Peirce, Meg, April, David, Jenny and John.
You look like you are going to the ball.Isn't it great after 2 children to get into a 10 year old dress!!Glad you had fun and won something. You are a beautiful couple if I do say so myself.
