We were able to attend the fundraiser gala for the hospital Daniel is working on again this year. It's about 3 hours north of where we live so for me it was like getting away for 2 days! Daniel has to drive up there once a week for meetings so for him it's just a boring commute.
We went to this black tie event last year but we had Johnny in tow because he was still nursing. This year, thanks to my wonderful brother and sister in law, we were on our own and it was so nice! Very relaxing.
The theme this year was The Kentucky Derby. I had already purchased my black dress (from Goodwill for $12) and so I borrowed a hat from a lady we attend church with. It looked great and it was so fun to see all the fancy and creative hats there!
Throughout the evening the volunteers were handing out cards to ladies with fun hats nominating them for a hat contest. I was nominated for the Most Elegant category. I didn't know I was going to have to get up in front of everyone and model the hat! Of course I did not win, you had to be on a first name basis with the judge to win. Oh, well.
This is the Lydig company group. The man next to Daniel is Gus, the vice president of the company. Next to them a guy that Daniel worked with on his first project and the guy on the far left is the project manager on the hospital that is trying to 'train' Daniel so that he can take over as a PM and get a promotion.
Every year there is a Tulip Festival. Every year I say I want to go and we never do. We were going to be driving by it all on our way home so we took a small detour to look at all those tulips! So pretty to see the rows and rows of yellow, purple, pink and red flowers. I think we were there the last day of the festival. Daniel drove by 2 days later and they were all gone. Sad, but at least I go to see them!
