Viennese Ball
From 1997--my house in Eau Claire When I was a student at UWEC, Paul and I went to the Viennese Ball my senior year. It's a huge fundraiser for the fine arts programs at the school; it draws over 2,000 people. It was a lot of fun, so we always said we wanted to go again but never got around to getting tickets. This year, UWEC opened their new student center, so it was enough motivation to get tickets so we could check out the new building. From 2013--at the event Things that have changed over the last 17 years: 1. I wear shoes for comfort, not style. 2. We don't fret about spending a little extra money on food and drink. 3. I appreciate good music a whole lot more. 4. My hair turned darker after each child. 5. Paul leads when dance now, most of the time anyway. It just works better this way. 6. We get tired an hour earlier. 7. We call college students "kids." 8. It takes a third adult--an aunt or grandparent babysit
