Five years ago in January, Bret had just returned from Iraq and we had grand plans of attending the Marine Corps Ball.

You can read about how that DID NOT happen in a previous post.

Tomorrow, we get to try again. Bret’s friend (and funny enough, one of the guys with us the night we met) got us tickets to a local Marine Corps Ball. I am SO excited!!! I bought a new dress, I have sparkly shoes and it’s going to be fantastic! The only downside is the 3 hour drive, but given we’ve driven across the country twice, we should be ok. 🙂

Here we are all dressed up after NOT making it to the ball in January ’08.
