The Marine Corps Ball

If you have ever met a Marine, you will have probably noticed that they are incredibly organized, well-trained, respectful, honorable and above all loyal. They take incredible pride in what they do and will do everything in their power to protect each other and our country.

If you have ever had the privilege of going to a Marine Corps Ball you will have also noticed that Marines, when not protecting our country, can seriously party. I don’t know what it is but dress blues + other marines + music + drinks = pure Marine chaos. Enlisted or Officer it doesn't matter…they are all crazy. It is so much fun!

This year our ball was held at the Hyatt in Newport and the Coyers along with 20 of our closest friends decided to go in style and rent a limo. Our friends are so fun!

My favorite part about the ball is that I get to re-live all my favorite memories of getting ready for a big dance. Today I got up early, ran off to get my nails done, then off to the salon to get my hair done all the while gossiping to my stylist about how I landed the cutest date…ahh memories. We had a great night and in typical prom, excuse me, ball fashion we ended the night at the local IHOP….ahh memories.

Hi there!
