3-41 Rifle Ball

Last night was our first ball with the new battalion.

It's so fun to get glammed up. But I didn't take many pictures this time.

Part of the grog ceremony, which is always one of my favorite parts.

Me with Marian, the Sergeant Major's wife. She is the awesomest person ever and we have several mutual friends from Lewis so it was SO cool we ended up in this battalion. =)

Hubby and me, although WHY does it appear that I'm not looking at the camera? And we decided not to do professional photos this time too. Sigh.

This ball was kind of an odd one for me since at our last one back in WA, I had so many friends there I barely had time to say hi to them all, whereas this one I only knew 2 people. And I was also the only girl at our table, but it was full of young Privates who were mostly from Andrew's platoon and they were quite entertaining. In some ways soldiers take a long time to grow up. ;-) Anyway, it was a fun night. I'm looking forward to many more events with our new battalion!
