the emma awards

This weekend I did something out of my element. 

I went to a fancy award ceremony. 

I mentioned in this post that D performed in a musical at our local community theater. 

Well, I was not exaggerating when I said he performed brilliantly. 

The theater has an annual awards ceremony called 

The Emma Awards. 

D was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance! 

He did not win in his category, 

but I am BEYOND proud of him. 

We both got to dress up and were chauffeured to the red carpet.

I am not a girl that likes to dress up. 

Give me jeans and a tshirt any day. 

But it was fun. 

My friends helped me do my hair and I got to wear a pretty dress. 

And D was very handsome. 

We made quite the pair. 

The best part of my dress was the back. 

Isn't it cool?! 

Overall, it was a great evening. 

And while, I still do not enjoy getting all dolled up I have learned that it is definitely worth it sometimes.  

And I always love celebrating D and his accomplishments.
