The W

We went out for a work function last night to the W hotel in Scottsdale and it was pretty swanky.  We don't get out to Scottsdale much so this was a treat for us.  One of our lenders moved to a different company and celebrated the switch by throwing a party. Grandma & Grandpa were kind enough to watch the kiddos for us and we carpooled with my mom & dad up to Scottsdale.  It was funny because we had no idea what the event was going to be like and what we should wear.  My dad had a brown blazer on and Cory took one look at him when we got out of the car and said, "I'm not dressed up enough".  He had on the perfect outfit and looked great, but I'm sure that it wasn't very helpful of me to tell him that his shirt was slightly wrinkled after we already left the house.  If he said that to me we would be turning around, heading back home for me to change.  Sometimes I need to keep my thoughts to myself.

We got to the event a little after 7 and it there were a bunch of people we knew there.  Cory and my dad were so in their element with the schmoozing and making friends.  They had some OK appetizers and an open bar, which was nice, but I needed waaaay more food than what they had.  I was pretty much starving most of the night.  We ended up staying until midnight and the place was seriously hopping at that point.  My mom was in disbelief of everything she saw.  She just kept saying, "Is this what people do?!?  I am SO old!"


It was a fun night out, but it did make me happy that most nights I get to curl up with my hubby & kids on the couch in my pajamas instead of out frolicking at Scottsdale bars.
