Every year to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday each unit has a Marine Corps Ball. Last year we were unable to attend because I had just given birth. This year I pretty excited to get all dressed up for a night on the town! The Ball was held at the Portland Convention Center. Dinner was pretty good, drinks were over-priced and as soon as the dancing started we left. :) Below is a picture of the guys in the shop Daniel works with. Ssgt Najera, Sgt Clement, Sgt Perez and his wife Diana.
This is another one of the guys. Who is that hottie on the left?

This is Clement and his date Heidi. After the ball we went to a club with them and some of her friends. We had a pretty good time dancing. As the crowd got bigger, louder, and younger we decided to go to Kales. Kales is a little Irish Pub downtown and it is tradition to go there every year after the ball .
This is Perez and Diana. Diana is such a sweetheart, beautiful inside and out.
All in all we had a pretty good time. It is always fun to get dressed up and go out but I don't think we will be doing it again for a while. By the end of the night both of our feet were killing us from all the walking, me in heels and Daniel dress shoes. Next time I plan to stick with flats! =)
