This past weekend was a wonderful event...The Children's Museum Gala. My friends, Gina and Courtnie, are well connected to this organization and invited all of us to attend the Gala. Charity events are a dime a dozen here in NW Arkansas, but very few are as formal as this Gala. We all have been so excited to have a reason to get all dressed up. This night out has been a long time coming and we were not disappointed! The "icing on the cake" was that our table was front and center. Thanks to Jason, Courtnie's husband and chair of the gala. We had the best seats on the house to watch the dancers perform. The entertainment for the night was Dancing with the Stars. Local "stars" have been practicing a dance with a local professional dancer. There were many unique cha-cha's, mambo's, fox trots, waltzes, etc....I don't remember who won, but I know that we had a good time watching them dance!
Traditionally before any event, we all meet at my house beforehand. This weekend was no exception. Here are a few pics of us before we left the house.

As you probably noticed, I did not have a date for this Gala...it's a long story and not worth repeating. However, I have THE BEST friends and I ended up having a GREAT time with them. This night was a big step for me, though. I did something that I really wanted to do all by myself and did not let the appearance of things stop me. I had a great time with really good friends. I love you all!

Glad y'all had fun. We were going to go to this, but had a hard time getting any information outside of what was in the ad. I'm on one of the committees for the Children's Museum and thought it would be fun to go. We didn't get the information that we needed until it was too late to worry about a dress and a tux, so we ended up going to Fayetteville to eat crawfish at Cafe Rue! You look great! Love the hair!
i'm so glad you went and had fun. you look beautiful!
