So my husband and I met at a party called Casino Swing in 2004. It was held at Union Station, typical black tie event, food, booze, silent auction...anyway, they no longer do Casino Swing on the same date, much less the same location. It used to be in October, then it was November, then it was like March at the Cultural Center...long story short, we attend like 10 charity parties per year. Casino Swing benefited the Mercy Boys and Girl Home of Chicago.
One of my very favorite charity events is this Eve of the Eve party. It's held at Union Station, which is nice and nostalgic for us when we attend, we always try to pin point the same spot where we first met. Also, it benefits a GREAT cause. High Sight. http://www.highsight.org/
Tonight is this party...I however just started my 33rd week of pregnancy...in other words I just started my 9th month of pregnancy today...
SO I'm not feeling like a party mood, but I'm going if it's the last thing I do. It will be my last hoorah. I don't expect to do much of anything in the months to come. Most kids are born between 35-40 months, this means, I'm in the end here...anything can happen in the next 3-4 weeks...after 7 weeks, this baby is out.
I'm not looking forward to putting on a pretty dress, straightening my hair and putting make up on, but I will. Who knows when the next time I get to go to a party is....if anyone sees me there, say hello.
I'll try to give an update before the new year, if I can remember! Happy 2012 everyone!
