20 minutes from our destination and...CRASH.

Ever been in a car accident? I would say it's one of the most terrifying feelings anyone could ever feel. About a week ago my boyfriend and I were on our way back from St. Louis and we were about 20 minutes outside of La Crosse. We were just coming up a slight hill transitioning from a 55 to a 45. As we came up over the hill in the right lane there was a smaller car going about 15mph. Obviously going about 50mph it was kind of hard to stop. We hit the car and needless to say there was damage to both of the cars. No one was seriously hurt, but we had to get a tow and wait for the police to decide what was going to happen. My boyfriend got the ticket because we hit them, but I question that decision. How were we supposed to stop an SUV going 50 miles an hour for a small car going 15 miles an hour? Not to mention they had their dome light on, driving in the right lane when we hit them. What could they possibly be doing not pulled over off the road? hmm...

Military Ball

A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I attended the 2009 army ball in Tomah, WI. Andrew, my boyfriend, is in the army obviously and invited me to this event. At first I was really nervous because I had never been to a formal ball of any kind and I really didnt know what to expect. The one thing that I was really worried about was what I was going to wear. I was told to wear a long formal dress, but I was worried I was going to show up and be the only one wearing a long dress. The day finally came, I had my dress, and off we went. When we got there I noticed every other woman there was wearing a long formal dress; it felt like prom all over again. I was very releived. We ate dinner and listened to some speeches and overall had a great time!
