Going Out as an Executive/Corporate Wife

I had my first evening out as the Executive/Corporate Wife. It was a dinner party at the home of a co-worker of Kipper's. There were 6 couples total from a couple departments in GAIC. Good food and conversation. Of course what I failed to mention was how completely nervous I was BEFORE this dinner.

Now that I am the wife of an executive of a very large company I have a different "roll to play" if you will. I am me, yes, but I am me in a new environment. I was so nervous. I am not used to this and had to get it right the first time. I went shopping at White House/Black Market and spent a TON of money. I tried on 40 different things at least. I bought 5 different outfits because I was not sure what to get. (took three back) I tried to memorize names BEFORE we got there. It was crazy!

The evening turned out to be very low key. It was very casual, I was dressed just right I might add, and was a perfectly lovely evening.I was truly nervous for no reason, but who would know. And my mother should be proud, I wrote a nice thank you note and sent it the Monday following!

So, this new roll I am in, well the jury is still out for me as to how often I will get all "worked up" and we will also see how many new outfits I buy! (not complaining about that one!!!)

I think I like date night better. We have found a couple baby sitters already and continued our pattern started in Tulsa. We are going to try to have a date night weekly without kids. Especially with Kipper traveling, it will give us time to catch up. We have gone to a couple great places and even found some live music (if you can really call what we heard music)!!!

So, Corporate Wife, I can do this......but I still prefer just Wife.
