Feb's Fireman's Ball

Can we say late posting? Whomp :(
Too many things going on in my life right now that doesn't allow time for blogging, but I'm trying to do better!

To say we had a blast would be a complete understatement! The hubs and I never go out and leave the kids, and on the rare occasion that we do, it's for one hour to grab a quick bite and back home! We knew we deserved this night out! Mom and Dad volunteered to watch Eman, and we got a sitter for Bman!

 I went to a local consignment shop on lunch one day with Shannon, (great entertainment for her for sure) I fell in love with a Ky Blue dress, it was so pretty, it was a Large and just a lil snug, I was a bit disappointed for sure. The prices were over 100.00 and on consignment I just thought that was too pricey!

I knew I needed mom's help, she might be 68 years old, but the lady has style and knows a great fit when she see's it! It brought back prom dress shopping memories for sure! We went to several stores, went a store that only sold Junior sizes, and while I fit in a few of the dresses, the dressing rooms where meant for 10 year olds, the door was a half-size so my shoulders and above were sticking out as well as everything below the knee, it was not pretty when I had to bend over..........sorry keep in real! ha! Needless to say my mom got lots of entertainment out of that store/trip!
We headed to Dillards and that's where we tried on every formal dress they had in the store! and the last dress I tried on was "the one" it was a floor length black one shoulder dress that had sequin all down one side! A HUGE THANKS TO MOM FOR BUYING IT FOR ME TOO!!! She is the absolute best mother in the world, and no not for buying the dress, but for everything she does and taught us! We love you mom! :)
We ended the night with a quick drive thru meal, so I could get home to my babies!

I made an apt. for me to get my hair done, let's see I typically get haircuts, but that's it! At the time of the ball I was letting my hair get super long, it was half way down my back, so I had lots of options, and let me say, I have some super thick hair! I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

While I loved it down, I knew we'd be dancing and I didn't want to fool with it, so we decided for a half up side do! I loved it, it was perfect, thanks Sandi! I got so many compliments on my hair that night!

We met up with all the crew from the hubs station at Long Horn's, it was a fun-filled night.

The guys-lucky girls!

The girls-lucky men!

Such a fun-filled night! We were home by 11:00ish, alot of other couples stayed the night, but we had to go home and get some sweet snuggles from the boys!

Both boys said I looked pretty and it melted my heart! I dress up for work, but nothing fancy, so that was prolly the first occasion they have seen me dressed up like that!

Thanks hubs for a wonderful evening! I LOVE YOU!
