We experienced a "first" in our lives and we are amazed it happened in the great land of Kuwait. On Friday evening, we attended a Ball at the British Embassy. What!?!? Yup, these two good old Seattleites spent the night dancing, dining, and drinking (even bigger WHAT?!?!?) all in honor of the British rugby team. Hey, we are all about philanthropy and if we had to dress up, eat a delicious three course meal, and purchase some adult beverages in the name of Rugby then by-god, we will support the sports one Ball at a time.
We were a little stressed about attire (re: Heidi spending 5 hours at a mall and purchasing a dress only to wear one she already had), did not have a mask to fit the "masquerade" theme, and only knew one other person attending, but we did not let that put a damper on our night. Rather, we celebrated with 150 other young rugby supports with a smile on our faces, a nice cold beer in our hands, and a belief that nights like this made Kuwait a fun, enjoyable place to call home.
**Note: Due to no cameras or phones being allowed in the embassy, no actual pictures are present from the ball. Insert sad face here. **

| These men were all dressed up with somewhere to go. It did not matter that they just met one another 3 minutes before this picture was taken. They all bonded over the anticipation of an ice cold beer to come. |

| Thank you, Crystal, for hooking Heidi and Adam up with tickets to the ball. We owe you BIG. |
