the last law school prom

Last weekend I went to my very final Law School Prom (more formally called Barrister’s Ball). I’m pretty sad that my prom days are over (potentially forever) because if you know me even a little bit you know I loveee prom. Especially grown up, open bar, photo booth, big-puffy-dress-less prom. #so good

For my very last ever law school prom Dustin booked us a room down on the water (right across the street from the venue) at the Marriott. Our room had awesome Puget Sound and downtown views and it was just extra fancy (probably because we got upgraded).

Before we had to start getting ready for the night, Dustin took me to Elliot’s for this seafood FEAST of a dinner. I have never seen/eaten so much amazing seafood in my life. We got some tower of seafood called the “celebration feast” or something, and it was probably the best seafood I’ve ever eaten.

 
I probably shouldn’t have eaten as much as I did considering I had to fit into my dress soon after (good thing it was flowy) but nom. Oh and I had a delicious vodka martini. Double nom.

After we felt sufficiently fancy and sufficiently stuffed (on probably the most expensive dinner I’ve ever eaten – thanks again boyfriend), we walked back to the hotel along the waterfront. Then we got ready (well, mostly I got ready and Dustin showered and put on some clothes and sat on the deck and had some whisky, but you know how that goes, am I right friends?)

also we may have taken this really emo myspace picture while we were waiting for Mike and Natalie…

P.S. I’m in love with my prom lipstick (“heatwave” by NARS – apparently it looks good on everyone!! Natalie even tried it on when she got to the hotel and we looked good ):

Anyway, as I was saying, Mike and Natalie (one of my law school BFFs) came over for prefunking and FRIENDSHIP!! and pictures too…

Natalie and Mike: 
Dustin and I:
and did I mention we ALSO took awkward prom pictures?!! Because really, what prom would be complete without them?

Friendship and Prom together = love!

And then we drank some champagne and we (I) got yelled at by the neighbors for being too loud and then we hurried across the street to PROM!

The rest of the night was spent taking so many pictures in the photo booth (those will come as soon as the link is posted), having drinks, being silly with my most favorite person and the bestttt date, me dancing alone to dub step and drop it low (for Marissa and Beth, obvi) while my friends watched… thanks guys… ha! Dancing with my friends, then at the end of the night, dancing and hugging and jumping up and down with Dustin to things like “I wanna dance with somebody” – which I’m pretty sure will FOREVER remind me of this night.

Oh you guys, it was SUCH a good night.

I wish you all could have been there too.

transient weeks

Oh friends, I miss blogging. So much. My life has been in chaos lately. Mostly because of the rat which decided its final resting place should be someplace unreachable in my home. I can’t be there. I want to vomit just thinking about it. And our sweet landlord rented us this ozone machine to help with the smell, but when I breath it in (the ozone it produces) I feel like I’m going to die. My lungs are going to collapse or something.

Luckily I have the sweetest boyfriend. He has been letting me stay at his place while the dead smell takes over mine. But living out of a suitcase (really two very large purses), not having my computer desk, and having to share a long apartment key isn’t really fun (even though being near him WAY more often than normal has been nice for my neediness and my heart – Hi Dustin, I like you).

Needless to say, blogging hasn’t happened while I’ve been staying with Dustin and without my desk. But I have some good things to blog about soon. And real, camera pictures from LAW SCHOOL PROM! (which was so good, you guys!).

But to hold you over here are a few pre prom pictures (thanks to IG and my precious iPhone which is always with me, all of the days):

More soon, I promise!
