my first's with the hub :)
hubby was deployed last year around this time. it's pretty exciting getting to spend all of these things with him... halloween, thanksgiving, christmas... its just great 
. i remember wishing so badly that he was around last year, and to have him around this year, as a married couple, is such an amazing feeling. really keeps you feeling grateful and lucky!
well... my first marine corps ball is coming up! i don't really know what to expect. i can't imagine that it'd be super far off from what i'm envisioning... but any pointers would be appreciated! i've got a gorgeous gown i wore for my cousin's wedding... turqouise blue silk, to the floor. i've also got this salmon colored bcbg dress i wore for a family friend's wedding, but its shorter. not like, hoochie cocktail dress short, but a bit above my knees. which would be more appropriate?
thanksss ladies . happy tuesday to you all!
Re: my first's with the hub :)
Hi and welcome!
Congrats on getting to spend all these upcoming things with the hubs!
And floor length is the rule for the MC balls, so I would go with the floor length one.
thanks! turquoise it is! and hahaha... pickle suit
.
i didn't know there was a rule, though! i'm glad i'm asking!
During E's time in each year I was more and more shocked by what some of the women had chosen to wear. I think my favorite by far was the high school aged girl with faded out mulit-colored hair (read: pink, teal, yellow, orange) that matched her very promy dress.
Oh and as a rule for myself I avoided any and all things that had loose glitter on them. E would freak about having to have his uniform cleaned from glitter and its SO hard to get out of them.
OP congrats on all your first with your H!
