Brad's Work Holiday Party

Last night, Brad's work hosted their annual holiday party and finally, for the first time since we've been married, I was able to attend! All of the agencies he's worked with in the past haven't allowed dates but this agency did. I was so excited to get dressed up to go and Brad was very excited to not have to go alone! The party was held at the Evermay (http://www.evermay.org/), an old historic estate located in the Georgetown Historic District and, if we heard correctly, has served as the residence for presidents when the White House has been under construction and other dignitaries. Needless to say, it was stunningly beautiful!! So, with delicious food and drinks being catered by one of the top caterers in the area, we were very excited to go. Afterall, how often do we get to dress up to go to such events? At least for me being a girl, I love to get dressed up for stuff like this!! Funny thing is, we said we would probably stay for about an hour and ended up staying for 3 1/2 hours!! Ha! But we were having a great time hanging out with all of Brad's co-workers. Overall, it was a great night and full of entertainment!
