Valentine's Day...The Heart Ball

So, our Valentine's Day ended up good. We went to The Heart Ball, which is put on by the American Heart Association. So, here's how the day went:

I got up and went to the mall and did some errands. While I was there, I decided to look at JC Penny for a dress. Yes, I had already ordered one but I wasn't a big fan of it when I got it. Well, I found one at JC Penny and so I bought it, and it was about 3 times less than the original one, so I was happy. It wasn't modest...but of course I made it modest. After that, I decided, since I needed to get some make up anyway, that I would get my make up done at MAC because they do it for you if you buy so much in make up. So, that was fun. Then I went home and started getting ready. I did my hair and then when I was done, Josh got home. He got home later than he was hoping and so we were running a little late. Well, by the time we were ready, which was about 6:15, we were going to be late. Well, before we left, I made Josh take a few pictures so that we could document the night. He was in a bad mood though because he didn't want to be late. I had to explain to him that not everybody was going to be on time. He said, "yea, everyone's going to be early." All though I knew that wasn't true, he didn't. So he was in a bad mood and didn't want to take pictures (you'll see the "bad mood" in the pics). Anyway, so we left and got there at about 6:45. We walked in an it was cocktail hour and there was a silent auction going on...What? I mean, I knew that people would be drinking and stuff, but this just wasn't our scene. So, we got our glasses of water from the bar, and walked around and looked at the ridiculous amounts that things were going for. We obviously didn't bid on anything because we don't have a few hundred dollars here and there to just spend like that. It was kind of funny because after about a half an hour of getting there, Josh said that we should have come late. They had the dinner doors locked and they weren't going to let us in until 8:30. Who has cocktail hour for an hour and a half? Anyway, after we took our complimentary picture, we snuck into the dinner room. It was very weird walking in because there were probably about, not even kidding, 100 servers standing around the room, in perfect posture, staring at us. We found our table and sat down. It was set up really nicely though in there. It was so nice looking that I had to take a picture. Well, that didn't go over very well with Josh. Josh was trying to blend in with the "rich folks" so he wasn't very happy when I pulled out the camera to take a picture of the "one time only" nicely set up dinner table that was set up in front of us. Rich people apparently don't document these fun times. So, I told Josh that I would turn off the flash and he was still really mad at me that I was even trying. He kept saying, no, no, no. So, I really quickly took the picture. So, you will see the one picture of the table. Sorry, that was the best I could do. I didn't mean to disappoint. Anyway, they had wine glasses, iced tea, and water on the table. So, we drank the water, let the iced tea melt and get watered down, and told them they could take our wine glasses (that was after the fact that they came and specifically asked us if we were 21). We ate a delicious dinner! Then we sat through a live auction. That was fun to watch. People spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a trip to Mexico that you could get for 1200 dollars on the internet, all-inclusive. After that, they started the dancing part with a live band. Josh doesn't like to dance, so I went to the bathroom. And when I come back, he wasn't at the table. I thought that was weird, but then I looked at the dance floor and see him and a (I'm guessing) 60 year old lady in the center (they were the only ones on the dancing floor) TRYING to swing dance. I could see how embarassed he was. It was funny. I didn't take a picture though, because I'm sure that would have made Josh even more embarassed. Anyway, that was our night. It was fun.
Here are the pics from The Heart Ball.
The ugly pic of me...the only one that there is because Josh didn't want to take pics.
Me and Josh while driving.
The only picture taken during The Heart Ball.
Can you tell that Josh isn't very excited about taking this pic?
