Having a Ball at the Air Force Ball

A week after returning from Greece, it was time for yet another Air Force Ball, thrown in conjunction with the Air Force's 65th birthday. This was our second time to participate in an Air Force Ball while stationed at GK. The first year we attended, it was held in Kasteel Hoensbroek, but this year it was in a hotel. Although it didn't quite have the ambiance of a castle, it was still a fun night of dressing up in our formal duds and dancing the night away with our friends. We ended up sitting at a jackpot table with our friends, Missy and Chad Zinnecker, and no one else. This meant more wine for the table and no awkward small talk with strangers. We didn't bring our camera that evening, so thank you, Missy, for sharing your pictures!


I was so pleased I got the chance to wear one of my all-time favorite dresses that is actually my mom's from 1974, worn on her first anniversary. She certainly has great style! Jon gets a big kick out of the AF mess dress uniform looking like a cater-waiter uniform, and really played this up by offering to serve everyone wine. It was a fantastic night and I hope we'll be able to take part in many more formal occasions at our next base (much to Jon's chagrin).
