I've been wanting to write a post about the weekend, so better late than never? I'm also posting from my iPad so I'm not sure how the format is about to look. Apologies for anything that runs together or looks off...still learning!
Scott is a member of Bachelors of Austin. Each year they have a huge deb presentation and make the celebration a weekend long event.
Friday night's cocktail party kicks off the weekend. We met some friends at a nearby hotel for drinks prior to the event then made our way over for the casino night events.
We posted up at the blackjack table all night. Only proved I'm a terrible gambler-but at least it wasn't with real money! Since it wasn't real money, the dealer had fun with us and helped us out a bit. At the end of the night you can turn in your chips for raffle tickets to try to win a prize. My luck continued and I won nothing...

Saturday night was the more formal (I got to wear a long dress!!) deb presentation fiesta night. We dressed up, met some friends for drinks then ventured over to the hotel to start the night. The deb presentations are still foreign to me (we never had anything like that in Lufkin) so we went upstairs to finish watching the Saints then went back downstairs to eat. Amazing buffet-with a mac and cheese bar-pretty sure my dress wasn't made for that kind of eating. But all was well once we hit the dance floor for the next 5 hours. They have two bands that take turn playing until 3am. They play all kinds of music-all the fun oldie dance songs to the current hits like "Blurred Lines." At midnight we went to hit up the breakfast buffet and then went back to the dance floor until 3am. Luckily we rented a room for the night so I went upstairs and was finally in bed around 4am. I slept all day Sunday and nearly a week later, I'm still feeling it! I'm getting so old. I always look forward to that weekend every year, but I'm glad it's only once a year!

Photobooth fun!

This year, I got the chance to use Rent the Runway for the first time. Let me tell you, best experience ever! I highly recommend it for a formal event (although there are dresses for all occasions!) and they make it so easy. They send you two sizes of the same dress to make sure it fits. They send you a prepaid envelope to return both dresses in-just drop off at the nearest UPS! No dry cleaning or anything! I can't wait to have another event to rent a new dress!
This week I've been attending a public policy conference which has been fun and informative, but I'm so tired and looking forward to doing nothing this weekend! A friend let me borrow the first Divergent book so I plan on reading nearly all of it this weekend!
Hope you all had a great week and enjoy the weekend!
Love, love your dress! You look beautiful!
