Marine Corps Ball Weekend 2011

This past weekend, Jesse and I took a mini vaca because of the Marine Corps Ball! Gabe stayed with his grandparents...and we enjoyed a free hotel room for 3 nights!

We got to StL late Thursday night...Jesse had to be up and ready to go by 7:00. So, we check in, carry all of our bags in, and go straight to sleep. We wake up, late, and hurry to get out the door. I had to take Jesse to work so I could have the car to do some shopping. We end up going the wrong way... getting lost... and having to turn around. It was terrible. But we made in on time, WHEW!
Anyway, Friday night we went out with a couple of our friends to the the casino. Lumiere in fact. We had dinner and then started gambling...well, the guys started gambling. Jesse and I ended up walking out $115 dollars richer! SCORE!
Saturday, a friend and I did some more shopping, grabbed some lunch, picked up Jesse from work, and then went back to the hotel. We had some time to just hang out until we had to start getting ready for the ball that night! Before I knew it, we were dressed and ready to go...and off we went!
The ball was a lot of fun...it always is. But, of course, there has to be one girl that ruins some part of it. Here's what happened... Jesse and I bought our tickets the first week they were available. So, we had assigned seats with the guys that he works with. Well, we get to the ball and set our stuff down at the table. So, CLEARLY, we are sitting there. We go back out to mingle with everyone, come back in, and there are TWO GIRLS sitting at our table and in our seats. When we ask the one if she had someone with her.. she replies..."UMmm, yes... SGt. so and so." First of all, I don't care if your husband is a sergeant or lance... it's rude to take someone's seat. Well, she refused to move and then tells us they bought their tickets LATE!! I was soooo aggravated. Because, not only was she in MY seat... the hotel failed to put enough seats at the table...so basically, we had nowhere to sit. But seriously! That's rude...you don't take someone's seats when their stuff is there. So we picked our cups and stuff up from in front of her and went to find another table! Now, I understand it wasn't her fault, I just wish she would have been a little more polite. :) Oh well!

Anyway, besides losing our seats that night, we had a great time. We ended up sitting at another table with some of Jesse's buddies...which worked out better anyway, cause we would have rather sat by them :)

To top off this fabulous weekend, I've lost my camera! I am soooooo aggravated!! I've yet to unpack everything, so I'm hoping that I jsut misplaced it in one of our bags!

Well, we're glad to be home...and even more glad to see our baby boy. 3 nights away from him was wayyy to much! Oh...and Rylee was pretty happy to see us come home too!

Have a good one Everyone! :)
