Holiday Dress-up and Day five.

I know.  I didn't write last night.  We got home super late -- for me -- and I had a bit of a migraine, and just wasn't up to it.  So, I figured I'd post this afternoon and tonight. 

Dressing up was so much fun.  I got my make-up and hair perfect, and the dress looked stunning, if I do say so myself.  Jon even dressed in slacks and a nice shirt.  And allowed my mom to take a picture of the two of us.  Jon hates his pictures taken.  I am a ham.  I have always loved my picture taken.  Figures I'd marry someone who doesn't.  The most current photograph we have of ourselves in our house is from my cousin's wedding over six years ago!  We don't even have our own wedding pictures hung up anywhere.

Anyway...here's the photo my mom took:

 

 

 

the lovely couple dressed up...

I know you can't see the dress too well.  Maybe I can get a photo of the dress by itself today and post it tonight.  Photographing an all black dress is rather difficult at best, and it was dark last night.  I am really happy though with the way the photo turned out, and we had an absolutely wonderful time last night.  I even received the most amazing compliment.  I was told I looked like a movie-star!  By this woman who was so beautifully dressed she looked like a movie-star, herself!

All in all, it was a wonderful evening.  Met lots of really nice people, and now I finally know who Jon's co-workers are, so I can picture them when he talks about work.

Okay, on to my list from yesterday:

*  I was grateful my mom came home with me to help me get ready last night.  She helped me curl the back of my hair, because I couldn't quite reach it.  It ended up looking perfect in the back because of her help.

*  My doctor appointment -- for which I was very nervous -- turned out wonderfully.  I got what I needed from the Dr. and it wasn't a horribly emotional visit.

*  My dad, for driving my mom and I to the appointment.  I couldn't have done it without him.

*  Finally getting help with my migraines.  I feel as though I can breathe again.  Now, just to wait for the Botox appointment to really get these taken care of.

Okay, I feel good having done this.  I will post again tonight with tonight's list.  Thank you all for understanding the delay! 

Happy Saturday,
