So, one of the social events that we are responsible for planning this year is a farewell to the Sr. class wives just before their husbands graduate. We are currently the Jr. class, but will be the Sr. class very soon (June 7). Anyway, my good friends Kelly(went to culinary school) and Annet (here from France) were the members of our class who planned this event, along with my other friend, Fran, who also happens to be the Commandant's wife. She is from Spain. All that to say that they put together an amazing farewell. The theme was a cocktail party. There was an open bar with fancy drinks like cosmopolitans and AMAZING food!! We had a fabulous time.

I am so proud of the gals in our class. They are all so much fun. We laugh easily together, no one takes themselves too seriously, everyone has unique talents and abilities. I feel such support and willingness to help from them. And, they are all so darn cute!! You can see for yourselves in my pictures.

I have to explain the polk-a-dot shirts...... So, several weeks ago a group of us had a big shopping day together. Vicki and I found ourselves in one of our favorite stores, Ann Taylor. I saw this shirt in the store window, tried it on and announced I was getting it. Well, vicki thought it looked SO good on me, she tried it on. Turns out, it looks even better on her, but whatever.... Anyway, we both bought the shirt. There is a pair of shoes involved in this whole story as well, but that is beside the point. Along comes the cocktail party. Hmmmmm. Who is going to wear the shirt? Well, I had already worn mine out on a date with Iain, so we decided Vicki would wear the shirt. Everything is settled. I show up at the party and the first person I see is Fran. Fran is hosting the party at her house. She is the boss' wife. She is a ton of fun. SHE is wearing the SHIRT!! AHHHH!! I say, "That's my shirt!! Have you seen Vicki yet? SHE is wearing THAT SHIRT too!" All this time I am wondering how this is going to go over with Fran? Well, she is a doll and she thinks this is hysterical. She thinks it is so hysterical that she sends me home to change into MY shirt too. SO, I do, because well, she is the boss' wife and I only live 2 minutes away. We had a grand time!
