Sunday was the USMC Birthday Ball!
It was in Downtown Wilmington, NC and could not have been a more gorgeous [and freezing!] day =)
The wall of keys is my favorite! There are over 30,000 keys hanging from this former construction site, making it a unique work of art that anyone can contribute to. Every key has a story =)
On the bottom right is a photo of something pretty darn epic...
The site of a future Whole Foods!

Half price sushi rolls and appetizers? Hello wonderful! I had a seared scallop roll with cucumber and a delish cucumber, crab and scallion salad for a whopping FIVE DOLLARS! *swoon* They have amazing sushi at even more amazing prices... so if you want to come visit me... Sushi is on me! =)

The photo is amazing, you are such a photogenic couple!
Love the picture! Handsome hubby and you're gorgeous girl =)
Y'all look adorable! [Or should I say HOT ;)]
You look so pretty!
The kombucha project changed my pantry's life. :)
look at you! youre on hot wife! woo! Babe of the ball.
;)
What an awesome sushi deal! I love how you now view your drink bottles as potential storage containers. I have a jar from some tomato sauce sitting on my counter ready to be turned into something!
Half price sushi?! Heck yeah!! And that crab, cucumber salad looks incredible! You two look so great! Smokin' dress lady! ;) Love ya!
Great eats! Happy WIAW :)
You both look so nice all dressed up! Very handsome and beautiful, I love your hair!
Great deal on the sushi-Wow!
woowooo! you guys looked fabulous on sunday! :)
and wow - i wish a place near me had such great sushi deals. i'm jealous!
Great pic...that's a good looking couple there, if I do say so!! I hate when I forget to charge my camera, or ipod, or phone haha!
Kombucha <3! Happy WIAW!!!
Is it inappropriate for you to say that your husband is really hot? Mine is hot too, of course, but his uniform is nowhere near as striking. The air force has these lame lightish blue dress uniforms here, with those with a pea cap. But then, I guess you can't be aircrew in the navy (at least not here). It's silly ice cream hats. When he was in the navy, his uniform was much hotter, and came along a trade-off. Happy WIAW!
errr...that should read "is it inappropriate for ME to say..." Obviously it's not inappropriate for YOU to say that your husband's hot. Unless you're part of some strange fundamentalist religion, I suppose.
I love your dress and overall coupley hotness... even if your other half wasn't cheese ball smiling : )
mmmmm I just love looking at the pics on these posts... they make me so hungry! Now I'd like some sushi for breakfast because I'm appropriate like that. haha
Wow, you look gorgeous! What a fun event!
You looked beautiful!! And of course it goes without saying, the guys always look great in their Blues :-)
Nikki's was one of my FAVES in Wilmington when we lived in J-Vegas! And that's SO EXCITING that they're building a Whole Foods!! Just wish they had done it while we were living there!
How do you make your cute picture collages?? Also love your dress!
Looking gorgeous! I simply love sushi, thanks for the tip.
Kombucha is addicting isn't it? I limit how many I allow our household to have a week.
I'm glad even your camera dies sometimes, you look great in your blurry photo. I may take you up on that sushi offer.
Your eats look yummy and you both look fantastic for the ball, Happy Birthday USMC! Where do you get that flatbread it looks so delish.
How exciting to be getting your own Whole Foods. They are supposed to be finishing one up in Greensboro (where I live) by the spring of 2012...to say the least I cannot wait.
Even with a droid photo, you look stunning!

Jen, I am so jealous of you getting to go to the ball! I remember my parents always going to the marine corp ball when I was younger and I always wanted to go. Every now and then I try to convince Matt he needs to join the military, the only reason being so I can go to a ball ;) Hope you had fun! Also, what does Kombucha taste like?? Can you get it at publix?
Happy Wednesday! I do love your parties so much :)
The wall of keys is fabulous. I'd never heard of it before.
Have a great day (unsure of the time over there..you could be sleeping now teehee). You look fabulous in that photo too x
YOU and the hubs look spectacular!!! what a beautiful (and delish) evening!!
Yum! Yay for cheap sushi - and you look fabulous!
So much tasty looking food this week- I don't know where to begin!
OMGosh I keep saying I'm going to do this and I keep being too busy to remember!
Everything looks so delicious, I swear I'll do it one of these days!
I LOVE the dress Jenn! Stunning!! The uniform's not too shabby either ;)
I wish I could have attended the ball too. The eats sound so delish!
You look lovely!!!
And that key wall is awesome, they have something like that on the coast in italy, put you put you and your loves initials on a lock, lock it along the path and throw the key into the sea!
Mmmm kombucha, i wish it was easier to find it in my parts of the world :)
Happy What I Ate Wednesday!! I can't believe today is my 15th one! Thank for such a fabulous idea lovely :-) <3
You look gorgeous!!! And I love the key idea... so unique and fun!
Gurrrl you look fab in that dress! Sounds like such a fun time!
yummmm gingerade kombucha!!! one of my favorites.
I'm losing participation points this week but wanted to stop by and say you looked fab! Hopefully I'll be better prepared next week :) Happy WIAW!
Ah I loved seeing what everyone ate on and around Halloween :-)
Aw, you guys are such a good looking couple! I promise to get a WIAW post done in the next few weeks. :)
Now about that half price sushi: I think I need to meander down your way this winter to cheer you up. And then to try that seared scallop roll. YUM!!
You make a gorgeous couple!! Glad you had a great time at the Ball :)
