The Barrister's Ball ~ 2010

So Sherry had her first law school formal on Friday night, and we had a blast hanging out with the cool new friends she has made!  Her entering class of part-time, night students is so cool and have already developed some very close bonds.  Their spouses and significant others are also a valuable addition to the group.  I have a feeling these friendships are going to last a long time!  Well, here's hoping anyway!

The formal was a lot a little like a high school prom, cheesy cool theme and all!  It was held in uptown Charlotte in an establishment that caters to such events.  They have several themes to select from, and we took bets on what theme would be chosen!  Eddie chose Vegas...yep, he won!  ;-)

Here are some pictures of the fabulous event:


Most of our fabulous group at the pre-ball party at Karen's!



Howard and Karen have the best laughs!



Me and my date!



Awww!



No, we don't know what antics Howard was up to.  He is kind of our "class clown" I think!  Well, tied with Brooke anyway!



Richard and Karen ~ The leading couple on the dance floor!



Julie was a fabulous dancer, and Richard and Karen really got the party started!  They are the coolest!  Karen met Richard in England and brought him home with her!  What a great "souvenir"!  Haha!
