Mary wore her red dress, red dress, red dress...

Mary wore her red dress all day long and in my case all ten years' long! That's from a book we read to the kiddos, by the way :) On Friday night, we attended the senior banquet at the Capital Hotel here in Lilongwe, to celebrate the African Bible College senior students' graduation. It was a fun evening out and we enjoyed catching up with the students. The dinner is one of the highlights of the year. It's a formal function and the students go all out to dress up. So what did we do? Well...we didn't go all out, we just hauled out the good old wedding outfits from ten years back and put those on...again!

2010 Senior Banquet- give you one guess what I wore to the last senior banquet...sorry no pic.

2003 at my friend's wedding. I went to school with both these girls. We were in grade one together.


2006 Our friends, Dave and Lindy's wedding.

Wow, most dresses like that get worn that one time, maybe once more. I'm quite impressed. You have made the most out of it.

Wow Anita!! You look beautiful in every picture. And I'm super impressed that you can still wear it after 10 years and 4 children! :)

You look great! Wow! Not sure if you have gotten my e-mails about Skyping Thursday night. We'll have to wait on that. We had a break-in Sunday evening about 3am. They stole my computer, our camera and a bunch of other stuff but God is good because they never came upstairs to our room. We didn't even hear them. Love to you all!

I love it!! You, of course, look gorgeous in every pic. I recycle my "fancy" stuff too =). Two of Danny's favorite photos of me are on his nightstand - one from our first formal date, and one from our 10th wedding anniversary cruise - both in the same dress.
