Fireman's Ball!

Friday was awesome. It was the day of the Fireman's Ball! I know, I posted about it earlier and what I was going to wear, etc. I ended up changing my shoes to the navy shoes. Our friend Miranda said last minute to wear the navy shoes, but I think they looked great.

Complete outfit! I felt really beautiful.

Anyway, it was great fun. I spent all day Friday at home, relaxing, because I knew I was going to be out in heels all night. Thank goodness I relaxed, because I spent roughly 6-7 hours standing in them and dancing. I thought my feet were going to be deformed for the rest of my life because I have never worn heels for that long amount of time.

Wade came and picked me up at my house, which doesn't really make sense because I live outside of Savannah,  and the ball was in Savannah where he lives. So he drove out to get me for no reason other than to pick me up and take pictures in my front yard. We looked adorable I think. He wore a suit, and he looked so amazing. And now, he has a suit for future events where he will need to wear a suit! He went shopping with his best friends / coworkers that afternoon; he called it a "girl man's date".

So, we did that, then went to dinner at the Bonefish Grill with his coworkers and their wives / fianceés. I had the mahi-mahi, steamed vegetables, and their au gratin potatoes. I don't think I've ever had potatoes that were that amazing. I suggest getting them! They were phenomenal.

After dinner, we drove downtown to the venue. There were quite a few people there already. Some women had gotten their hair done up and wore dresses similar to something you would wear to prom. I felt a little weird about that. But there was really no understanding of what women should wear. Some girls wore super skanky dresses. They were totally looking for single firemen. It was a little sad.

We spent the majority of our time talking and dancing and acting ridiculous. Two guys showed up dressed as Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber (the blue and orange tuxes)... they were amazing. I knew one of them from high school, and he looked very dapper in his blue suit.

Wade and I slow danced to Piano Man... it was adorable and fun and he dipped me at the end and gave me a kiss. I love him.

The ball was so much fun. I think I had the most unique dress there, and I did get a lot of compliments!

Last night, I was dumb enough to use some astringent. I just wash my face in the shower with Aveeno, but last night I found some astringent and although it did take off some more dirt, I woke up this morning with a swollen face. Who's smart? Not me. There is a welt under my right eye and my cheeks and neck are red and itchy. It sucks.
