Ballgowns and Dress Blues
It’s everyone’s favorite time of year!!! No, it’s not the holiday season (although it’s close), it’s time for the annual United States Marine Corps Ball! To be fair there are some negative nellies out there who despise this event, but that’s because they’re not doing it right. It’s such a fun celebration that celebrates Marine Corps history.

Things I Google: What is Vinyasa Yoga
During our time on hurrication, my husband and I did our best to continue going to the gym. I did a lot of youtube stress relief yoga (Thanks Yoga With Adriene!), while he did a lot of hotel gym workouts. When we arrived at my parent’s house, we gained access to our local fitness center and its array of classes. The first day we went, he lifted and I did a yoga video since my body felt dead from all the traveling. After our workouts, my husband was interested in doing a yoga class with me, so we looked at the schedule and saw “Vinyasa Yoga 9:30 am”. He asked…
