With such a fun place to go! Friday night, Brian and I put on our fanciest clothes (actually, not even my fancy clothes, but a very sweet friend's dress) and hung out with some wonderful friends at this very shi-shi charity ball. (Compliments of Adair Creative Group. Thanks Dave!!) It was SO fun to eat delicious food with good friends and just enjoy being out for a delightful evening. And I just think it's fun to see my handsome husband in a suit! :) Before the big night, I decided to say "good-bye" to my very dark brunette hair in favor of some subtle blonde highlights. It's nice being at least a little closer to the blonde hair of my youth. :) (Thanks Korri!! You're the best!) Korri also helped me "poof" my hair a bit. So, I was in a dress that was a COMPLETELY new style for me with poofy hair. Oh. Dear. And I know what you're thinking... That my hair doesn't even look that poofy. But for me, it was a poof of grand proportions. Although, now I kinda like it. I even found myself teasing and poofing before the kids soccer game on saturday morning. Ha! I will add some more group shots when my wonderful photographer friends send me their pictures. For now, you're stuck with my these from my point and shoot. :) Also, I must say a HUGE thanks to my friends Lori, Britney, and Darren. (aka The Varsity) Our kiddos spent the night with them and did not even miss us because they had so much fun!
A little blurry, but here's the very fun dress. I will try to procure a clearer shot at some point
This is one of the funniest girls I know, wheeling out the bunny that she so enthusiastically bid on at the silent auction. We were all celebrating with her when she actually got it!
The charity weekend, including tennis tournaments and auctions, had already raised over 30 million dollars! I think most of it went to the Arkansas Crisis Group (which deals mostly with suicide prevention).
