Last night was amazing! We went over to Jon’s friend’s house before the party and had a blast getting to know everybody. I snapped a picture of Jon while he was modeling his newly bought outfit and he looked so cute!
He cleans up nicely
He insisted on wearing his Nike’s with his outfit and I couldn’t fight him because he was being such a good sport by dressing up. I tried to get a good picture of us before we went out but this was the best one I got.
The pose is a bit awkward but I'm just happy we got a picture!
We arrived to the party around 8:30 and stayed until it was over at 11. I was able to meet his co-workers and superiors which is nice for any significant other to do. I guess it’s just comforting to know who your husband is around everyday, all day. I didn’t hold back at the party one bit. I was the first one on the dance floor and the last one off of the dance floor, but I managed to get all the “stiff” people on their feet! 
When I’m put in situations, doesn’t matter which one, I adapt and make it a situation worth while. I usually break the ice with a sarcastic joke or a good conversation. I find that it makes people open up and the night tends to go pretty smooth after that. While we were dancing and having a good time, I managed to get yet another picture of us!
Sorry for the poor quality, I had to take a picture of the picture. They wanted us to pose and it was very uncomfortable if you can't notice.
The night got even better after we won this
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you freaking kidding me???!!!!! Hell yeah! I was completely blown away when they called our ticket number. The whole night Jon and I kept saying, “we won a f***ing ipad!”. Probably not the best choice of words, but that just gives you an insight on how excited we were. Honestly, I am one of those people who never win anything but lately that luck is beginning to change. First with HEAB’s photo giveaway and now an ipad. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. All in all, it was a great night and a much-needed great night. 
Speaking of the photo giveaway, I got the pictures back! Leah was kind enough to edit a picture of my dog Nikki as well. Since my favorite holiday gift story was about getting my dog Nikki, which is what won me the giveaway, it means so much to have a picture of such a fond memory. The only catch is….. you all will have to be patient and wait until tomorrow to see them. I have to keep you on your toes, right?
So close to leaving for the holiday and we’re both getting antsy. Jon gets released for leave the 16th at 4:00 pm and then we’re off to Florida. We will be down there for 10 days and then it’s back to work for Jon and job searching for myself. I attended hot yoga yesterday for an hour. I knew I would be having a few drinks last night and not making it to yoga today so I made sure I got my fix in. The class was pretty intense for me because it was structured like a flow class. I have never taken any kind of flow class so the speed caught me entirely off guard. At first I was like, “are you kidding me” as I was almost an entire pose behind everyone else, but as the class went on I just went with it and I kind of enjoyed it. It helped me work up a sweat faster and was more of a strength building class for me. I would do it again I apologize for not having a food picture, but we’ve been eating out at the gatherings we’ve attended lately. Maybe tomorrow you will get one… or two. Jon is on watch until 4:00 pm today 
so while he’s there, I’m going to try to keep busy with household chores… fuuuuun. Enjoy your Saturday everybody!
I love your red shoes – you both looked so nice, and sounds like you had a blast at the party, and to top it off, you won and iPad. So exciting!
I hope you liked the photos Leah edited for you, and how cool you got one of your pup. We have more framed photos of our dogs then we have of our daughter. Hehe.
Safe travels back home to Florida and best of luck with your job search. I swear looking for a new job is a job in and of itself. So, enjoy your time away with friends and family. It will be a nice break!
Thanks so much Heather! We are definitely planning on enjoying our vacation home. The photos from Leah came out great, I can’t wait to share them tomorrow.
Oh and Ruca is my little model since Jon gets annoyed with my constant “turn to the side. now drop your hand. smile! wait, wait… I didn’t like any of those, let’s take another one.” Ruca is the subject of at least 75% of my photos and amazingly, she never talks back!
Your frist Christmas with Summer, you must be so excited! Take a ton of pictures to share with us all and to remind you of a wonderful memory.
We’re both lucky ducks!
