The NC Governor's Inaugural Ball

Hello and Happy New Year to all! 

Many of you have been asking me for a blog update, so here it is!  

After taking a bit of a hiatus amidst the whirlwind that came with the holidays, I'm back on the blog!

Boy do I have a lot of catching up to do!

We'll start with the most recent and exciting event I had the pleasure of attending:

The NC Governor's Inaugural Ball!

Me & Miss B!

More than 3,500 people filled ALL levels of the Raleigh Convention Center for a night of dancing, dining, and top notch entertainment.

This was part of three days of festivities to welcome our new Governor, Pat McCrory, to the Capital City and celebrate the best that North Carolina has to offer.  

Welcome to Raleigh Gov. McCrory!

All of the food, wine, and entertainment had roots to the Tar Heel state.

My favorite part of the night: when the A&T drum line performed through the crowds! [photo credit]

People from all over North Carolina were there to indulge in an evening of pure glamour.  I met people from Charlotte, Wilmington, and Greensboro!

Lounging for a bit with little Miss B!

For me, this was also a chance to dust off the ol' ball gown and wear yet another glittery frock.  (I've had to put all of my fun dresses away since the holidays wound down. *sigh*)

My pals! xo

Now I need to find another ball to attend, or at least another chance to get dolled up in my absolute best.
