The Governor's Ball

After all my kvetching, it turned out to be fun! I should know better 
than to complain by now.
My husband had to stay and coordinate a search and rescue. So we didn't leave Friday morning with everyone else, but caught up with our group late Friday night. 
The kids were all really good.
Even if this horrible photo does make most of them look demonic. Or like something caught on film by a paranormal expert.
That's the thing about events like this.
The lighting is usually horrible.
You can't even tell what this is, can you? 
Just believe me when I tell you~it's a Governor's Ball. I took this with my phone. I know. It's awful.
The dress I ended up wearing looked exactly like this one. 
(I didn't look exactly like her in it, but the dress was the same.) 
And I was in one group picture, 
but I was in the back row and all you can see is the top of my head. 
Which looked good! 
(My daughter did my hair for me. Every family should have a cosmetologist in it.) 
But you'll just have to take my word for it.
I know. 
I didn't get any good pictures. 
I'm sorry.
Does this make up for it?
(I'm blatantly copying this blogger.)
Kinda sorta?

I'm glad you had a good time. I'm kind of that way. Sometimes I gripe about functions we have to go to and then end up having a grand time! :)

I agree every family should have a cosmetologist. Wish I did.

:-) I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! It's usually the same with me - at first I dread going to an event or invitation and then I have the best of my time! :-)

Your dress is great...and I will believe that your hair WAS wonderful. I am glad that you had a good time. Don't complain about it next year, okay? Cuz now I will know that you are lying about dreading it...xo Diana

I am glad you had a great time. That dress is so pretty! I'm sure it looked fabulous on you too.
I love those hydrangeas. My are all dead. Well, dormant. Whatever, they are not pretty!
ps. I feel like I should splash some holy water on that first photo! ;)
