Tonight was the Deployed
Spouses Ball. AND!!! It is The Dude in Cammies BIRTHDAY!!! This was my first one to
ever go to. I have seen lots of posts
from friends who have gone to these and seen many fun pictures but had never
had the opportunity to attend one as The Dude in Cammies has either left right
after one or arrived home before one or when he was an augment the Battalion
always made sure to invite the Wives of their deployed Marines and since they
bought the tickets and offered transportation and child care I didn’t say no,
so I have never had the opportunity to go until this year! My friend Kim who
lives down the road from me asked if I was going. I was originally not planning on it as The Dude
in Cammies arrival was going to be somewhere in that window and so I wasn’t
sure if I should risk buying a ticket and that ends up being the night he comes
home or he comes home the day before and I leave him his first night home or
something like that! Amy definitely wanted to go. Her Marine is in Afghanistan
and is retiring this summer. She has yet
to go to one of these either and she wanted to go as this was her last
chance. I told her I would buy a ticket
and go as long as I wasn’t picking up my guy during the Ball! Ha! I figured
this way I could check this off my Marine Wife Bucket List and go with a fun
friend!!! We had a total blast! The decorations were sooo fun! I was going to
sit on one of the sand bags and right when I was sitting I realized they weren’t
filled with sand but with air! That was
close!!! I almost fell but thank goodness my brain began thinking ‘sand’ bags
would be really heavy to bring in in this quantity!!! Caught myself just in
time! Now, that would have been a
classic Julia Moment if I hadn’t had that sudden brain power happen!!! The food
was delicious, the desserts were every girls dream, and the speakers were hilarious
and know the Marine Wife Life!!! It was a fantabulous evening with some super
fun wives!
