Tuscaloosa Gala

I told a few of you about the Gala we attended in Tuscaloosa the week before Christmas to celebrate the opening of a new Federal Court House. Here's a picture of us all dolled up!  We were definitely in the youngest 1/10 of the 300 people there, and we got lots of sweet comments about and sideways-glances at my huge tummy.  Definitely the only pregnant girl there.

As I was getting ready, I had a bit of deja vu.  The first Chi O party I took Thomas to was in Tuscaloosa in December - 11 years ago!  We both look back on that night with fondness and a realization that it was the day we fell in love.  The sparks were definitely flying even though it took us about two more months to become an item.

I believe he wore the same tux with a different tie.  I, however, would not be able to fit in the dress I wore...for obviously reasons :)

Oh, how much has changed in 11 years!  One thing's for sure - I love the man I get to get dressed up with more and more as the days go by.  I'm so thankful for our history, and I am giddy about our future!

And both of you are just as beautiful and handsome as 11years ago. Being in love agrees with you!
