Army Ball

On Saturday we had to go to a manditory ball for Trent's unit. The ball was to welcome home everyone that just got back off of their deployment and to welcome all of the new soldiers that just moved in. We had heard through the gossip that all these events were people getting drunk and horrible food. They were very right!!
There was alot of alcohol and the food was HORRIBLE!! Everyone that was in the group we went with was scattered around, and me and Trent got stuck on a table with no other wives!! After dinner (chicken that was still raw) a few of Trent's commander's talked. The talks were good and they did a really cool thing for the people that were killed over in combat. After the talks they opened the floor for dancing.
Before i agreed to go I told Trent that we at least had to stay and dance one slow song. They finally played a slow song about 30 minutes into the DJ, we danced and booked it out of there!! We ended up going to Denny's after because everyone was stilll hungry and we finally got home at about two in the morning!!

I was complaining about the night to my dad on the phone the next day, and he said that at least it was a night that we wouldn't forget!! It was fun to get all dressed up, but the army is such a different lifestyle!!

I'm really gratefull that we have met some people over here that are good examples and share the same values. Even though they aren't members, they don't drink so it was a big relief to not be the only people there that night that weren't wasted!!

This was the group of girls that went together! They are really fun girls!

The boys started to get into the fast and goofy songs!

Trent would dance with the guys but he refused to dance with me! :(

I finally got him to losen up and cut a rug with me!

And i FINALLY got my slow song with the love of my life!!
