Saturday was the Correy Station Navy Birthday Ball. In true Laura fashion I spent the whole morning and the previous evening working on my dress. I couldn’t wear anything that I already had in the closet because I have no waist. So I cut up a Michelangelo wedding dress that I’d thrifted and made myself a quasi-maternity dress. It was supposed to be dark brown, but three bottles of RIT later I remembered that polyester doesn’t take dye well, so light warm gray it is! It turned out pretty darn cute (with 45 minutes left to take a shower and do my hair!). Garth had it easy. He wore his dress blues (which I swear were designed to fit him, he’s so handsome in them!).

We made a super entrance to the ball on our bicycles. The ball was taking place downtown at Palafox Pier and we live less than two miles away. It was pretty entertaining to see people stare at us as we rode through downtown.

We had a delightful time and danced to the ONE slow song that was played all night, some karaoke version of Unchained Melody. And then, it was back on our bikes for the dark ride home through the deserted streets.

This is when I like Pensacola. =)
loves!
Laura. =)
