oscars

Last week we went out to "the big city" and my wife bought a dress specifically for tonight...no we're not going to dress up at home and pretend we're at the Oscars, we're going to an Oscar party. I'm positive that had you asked me for a list of the type of parties that I would be attending in my lifetime just three weeks ago that Oscar party would not be on that list. A couple of weeks ago, we were invited to this benefit dinner and the expensive plates were paid for, so here we go.

Annie just got back from having her hair done by a friend and she looks amazing. She hasn't even changed into the "gown" yet and wow! It's going to be fun. I already know it is going to be one of those moments that we'll remember. We're not "Oscar Party" kind of people so this is definitely going to be one of those out of the ordinary moments that we'll laugh and smile about for years to come. It will be good for us, good for our marriage. I'm dressing up in a black suit and tie tonight and I'm looking forward to it. Not sure I've said that since my wedding day.
