Boilermaker Ball


Every year, the Purdue Alumni Association holds a ball and auction. I've always wanted to go, but never had the chance. This year, we got to go... I got to go on a fancy date with dinner and dancing!!

The theme for this year was Venetian Masquerade, and while Marcus was in New Orleans last fall, he picked out a couple of really cool masks for the occasion! After getting the mask, I was on a mission to find a dress to go with it. Thanks to an after-Christmas holiday dress sale at Macy's, snagged a smokin' dress on deep-discount! It was the last one on the discount rack, and it fit! Now, I have to figure out where to wear a black, sequin sheath dress again.... play date or PTL meeting?!!?

What made the event even more fun is we got to reconnect with some old friends! We sat with a friend from our PMO days... thanks for the great time, Ashley and Mike!

Here a few shots from my camera phone:

Ready to go!

Didn't Marcus do a great job with my mask?

At the end of the night...
Tired but had a great time!

And here are a couple of the professional picks we made it into...

The champagne glasses were hanging from the ceiling,
and stilt-walkers cut them down for us...

Here we are with the fabulous Jill & Milt!

The kids started blowing bubbles from above during the first dance.
It was Zachary's idea! 


Sistas

Proof that at the end of the night,
my hair was still in curls!
Minor miracle...

Wedding Day: Getting Purty

All the ladies at the hair salon
 This will probably the most you'll ever see me in pictures on my blog.  I blame my sister and brother-in-law for taking so many!!  They were the photographers for the event, so sadly, there's almost none of them!

Jenn getting purty!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen...
It takes two hairstylists to get my hair under control!

Not to shabby!

Last-minute final touches in the C-c-c-old!!

Me and my trusty assistant...
It's not like he has anything else to do.

Dude... a little attention, please!

Jenn's mom = AWESOME!

The officiant (friend of the couple), Dad & Danny

Wow... extremely helpful over there guys!
They were "watching" the kids...

Run off the energy, little man!
