Winter Formal 2015- Be Royal!

I brought to Travis' attention the fact that I would LOVE to go to his school's formal dance. The last two years, he had no idea that it would be something I'd be remotely interested in. Whaaat? A dance with the sexiest guy I know? Why not?!

We made the plan to go. Yipeeee! My mom helped me find a dress while I was in Washington over Christmas break. And boom, it's officially going to happen.

My friend, Jamie, volunteered to do my hair and makeup. And I'm so grateful she did. I am so under-qualified when it comes to hair and makeup. I have no clue. I'm very thankful for her kindness.

Here's how I would have looked if I got ready myself, compared to how I actually looked (thanks to Jamie).

We arranged for a babysitter and got to Harrah's around 6. We got some group pictures taken at the photo booth.

 The guys.

The girls. (We all wore purple! It was NOT planned, but so funny!)

Dinner wasn't until 7, so we sat and talked at our table for a while. It was nice getting to know some of our group, who I hadn't really officially met before.

For dinner, they served chicken or roast, mashed potatoes and asparagus. I was served the biggest slab of roast at the table. They must have known I was so hungry, I was on the edge of turning into the Hulk. The food was devine.

Then they had awards and prizes. At 8:30, the dancing began. I kept waiting for a slow song, but it never came. So after dancing in my chair for a half hour, Travis and I finally got up to dance. We only danced three songs, but I was so sore the next day! I'm going to practice my moves for next year.

After dancing, we walked over to the Casino. Travis was DYING to try a slot machine, so he spent $5. He was satisfied.

I was worried about my growing (awkwardly sized) belly in my dress. I feel like I'm still in the chubby stage. But it all turned out and I felt beautiful.

I'm so glad my friend Jamie is also pregnant. We were belly buddies together.

The night was a blast! It was great spending some one-on-one time with my sexy, dancing machine of a husband. We're already looking forward to going again next year!
