A Night Out

Justin and I went to the American Association of Malyasia Ball last night.  Since we don't have closets full of evening wear we had to do some shopping this week.  On Thursday after school, Macy and I did some power shopping. Between 1pm and 2:30 we bought the dress, shoes, jewelry and some make up.  We had a lot of trips up and down the escalator to try everything on together and Macy loved it. 

When Justin went to look for his black suit on Saturday morning, he couldn't find it.....not really sure where it is...Could be at the cleaners still in Indy, at either of our parent's house, or in long term storage in Indy...we may need to do some investigating on that.  Luckily, he found a tux rental place not too far from our house.

Ordered pizza for the girls and ready to head downtown.

It was really neat when the Marines brought the flag in.  

We hadn't seen the stars and stripes since Januray 9th!

The US Ambassador was the keynote speaker.

We had a nice night out chatting with others, eating a nice meal without little ones and getting dressed up. 

They did a giveaway for the centerpiece.  I found the star under the bread plate.  

Depending on whether the bread plate is on the right or left determines if it was actually Justin or me that won.  The plate was between us, so we know one of us won! 

 They had a silent auction.  We didn't bid on any items in the silent section. 

 However, they had a booth with little purses with prizes inside for 100 ringgit(about $30) each.

  The prizes inside were valued at 100 RM or more. 

Purse 1 Prize:  Living Well full body scan and consultation---not really what I was hoping for, so I got another one!!!

Purse 2 Prize:  Free night in a hotel in another city, Penang---GREAT, but the purse's zipper wasn't working right so they let me take another one.

Purse 3 Prize:  100 RM at a salon for a massage

 It was a fun night and I am sure we will be back again next year when they have the 31st annual ball.

Life is Good with fancy nights out!
