fancy

Jake and I had the opportunity to get fancy this past weekend and attend a gala event (our first). It was fun to get dressed up and drink lots of champagne! Jake looked so handsome in his tuxedo. He wore a suit in our wedding so that was the first time I had seen him dressed up like that. We decided to stay the night in Raleigh and I am so glad we did. I had a meeting all morning Saturday and then I got to relax all afternoon by myself (much needed). I may or may not have indulged myself at the Benefit counter. Jake met me later that afternoon. Karen (my MIL) sent us updates and pictures of Ollie having fun, so I don't even think he knew we were gone.

This was such a nice way to get out of our "box." We have a tendency to get/stay home bound. Date nights turn into Jake watching a redbox movie while I clean/wash dishes/fold clothes. Doesn't that sound so steamy? ha! Jake (my cheap husband) got a little crazy and starting bidding on silent auction items. We walked away with a night at Great Wolf Lodge. He loves a water park!
