When I was offered my current job, I was told that I was going to have to go on a work trip this past weekend. I was bummed that I was going to be gone for Valentine's weekend, but it wasn't the end of the world because we could celebrate Valentine's Day and Sweeter's Birthday over the long President's Day Weekend.
A couple of weeks ago, I got an email telling me that they changed the weekend to be over the long President's Day Weekend. So you can imagine my upset!
On Thursday, Sweeter told me that the battalion still had room for guests to attend the Mess Night...on Friday. I lit up! I love seeing Sweeter all fancied up! So, Sweeter started calling around to figure out how to pay and was unable to find anything out. So we decided to leave it up to the God's of Friday.
As I said in my post from Saturday, I think that I have carpal tunnel, or something like it. With that, My arms are so achy that it wakes me up in the middle of the night and I have a lot of trouble sleeping. So I woke up not very well rested. I went to work and Sweeter told me around noon that we could go to the Mess Night.
I left straight from work and headed to the local outlet mall. I went into the BCBG outlet and tried on a few dresses. Nothing stood out.
I then went to the local Westfield Mall and checked out Macy's. Sadly we are not in the season for long formal dresses.
I walked in to Express to ask where I could find one close by and the woman asked me if it was for Homecoming. Now, I am 23...I understand that I look young, but REALLY?! Do I really look that young?! Honestly, please tell me! haha! I had to laugh when she asked me if I was looking for a Homecoming dress! Haha!
Anyway, I ended up not finding anything and I didn't have the time to drive to the next closest mall. So I went back to the outlets and I picked the best of the dress choices there were. And it ended up working really well!
So I went home and we got all dressed up! Oh boy, my Sweeter is so handsome! We ate dinner and hung out at the Mess Night! We had a great time!
I did my own hair...
...this is a later in the night pictures, so that is why it looks so messy
I was looking at wedding hair updos and I found this and I think that it looks so elegant!
It looked really lovely and I am so proud that I did it myself!
It was pretty easy to do, I definitely recommend it!
I think that my hair may be a bit too long, but it still looked nice!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
Happy Valentine's Day!
