The Symphony Ball

Ruco and I went with Emily and Chris to the Symphony Ball this weekend! It was so nice.. Emily works for Ballet Pensacola, and got FREE tickets from a friend who works for the sympony. The tickets are 150.00 per person, so needless to say, Ruco and I were so excited to have the chance to go! We got all dressed up in our formal dresses and tuxes, and headed to New World Landing, which was decorated AMAZINGLY! When we first got there, we walked around and looked at all of the silent auction items, while appetizers were being passed around, and Em introduced us to people from her work. Then, we took our seats at our table, and they served us a five course meal, with lamb as the first part, then a salad, sherbert, and then the main course which was steak as well as fish. The dessert was awesome, with many dessert bars and a chocolate fountain. We were worried that it would be very "hoity toity" but fortunately for us, they put us at the "kids table" with all 20 somethings as well. One girl had actually just finished doing Peace Corps in Nicaragua and was so nice. We really had alot of fun talking to all the people at our table. It was really such a fun time, but we really missed Heather and Rhett, who by the way got a new puppy yesterday!!! I really cant wait to meet "Aubbie!"


Today, we went to church and then went over to my parents house. We had practice with the praise band because we are playing at a youth rally on Wednesday! The youth rally is in getting ready for "See you at the Pole" next week. Im excited about that, and think it should be a ton of fun and hopefully gets all the kids really excited about sharing Christ in their schools.
Well off to eat some sandwiches on fresh French bread and have some wine with my husband...we are feeling very nostalgic and really miss Rucos parents in France!!! This is was what we live on when we go visit!!! ;) I hope everyone had a wonderful and very fun weekend!!
