Daniel was asked by the Junior ROTC at the local high school a few months ago to be the keynote speaker for their MilBall. It is a true honor for him as the cadets actually chose him. So, tonight we will get all dressed up and attend. I am a little nervous since I have nearly forgotten all the customs and procedures of a military ball. The last one we attended was pre-Eve in North Dakota. They held it, appropriately, in a hockey rink because you know, it's not cold enough already in that state.
We are all anticipating tonight. Daniel is really looking forward to giving his speech. Eve is looking forward to Mi-Mi (grandma) visiting. Judah, throw him some food and he's golden. As for me, the best part of it all is the new shoes.

Way to go Daniel! Personally, I've never gotten to go to a Mil Ball. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Meanwhile...you've been TAGGED.
I hope you'll come play along.
Oh what an honor that they chose him to be the speaker! Have fun at the ball!
WOW! that really is an honor and i'm sure you blew them away Daniel! i'm very impressed! can't wait to hear about it( and see it because i'm sure my sister brought her camera!?!) anyways i'm waiting and not very patiently either!
Hi Andrea, I found your blog by way of my best friend in the world, Courtney over at Beside My Soldier! We are a military family also, stationed in Oklahoma! Feel free to stop by and say hello anytime! :) Hope you guys had fun at the ball! Steve has an NCO ball to attend in March, it will be my 1st one ever! I'm sooo excited! I've heard though that things can get pretty crazy at those military balls though! LOL I guess we'll see! :)
