Garden Party

No, no, do not worry. This blog has not been forgotten about, I just needed a break while I found my bearings in ze new job. I think I'm finally getting there...here's to hoping for a "No Mistake Monday".


I know I still need to blog about our Derby Party (which I believe was a smashing time, if I do say so myself) and Buddy's recent rattlesnake bite, but I thought I'd re-begin this blog with something a little more current.


Last night we attended the 3rd Calvary's Birthday Cocktail Party.  And while I'm always down for any excuse to dress up,  I enjoyed this shindig more than most regimental events. Perhaps it was the lack of a sit-down dinner, and the addition of a mystery Marker's Mark punch, but this outdoor event was cool and relaxed.


Before we met up with Kerri and Justin in Killeen, I made an hour-long stop at the pool to give the gams a little color before slipping into the LBD. 

This song was on repeat the entire time. I'm obsessed.

*Put on your old black dress 

And grab your dancing shoes. 

Head out to the old bar Rose

and we'll dance away our blues. 

Spent all week waiting 

Now my mind's on you. 

Hold my loving arms, my loving arms are for you. 

I'm so tired of the nine to five weighing down on my soul 

Let's get out all of this uptown life and head out on the country road. 

Forget about all the things that we can't make right 

Put on a little Emmyloo, and we'll dance into the night.*

Serious party prep.

Attempt #1

What do we do with our handz?!

Still not there.

There. Perfection.

Ker begged to wear her derby hat to the garden party.

Tres Chic.

Beautiful couple, ready for a night on the town...errr the lawn.

A sober event.

And to be sure, there was dancing ALLLL through the night.

All My Love,

Jessica
