Wrapping up the last 3 months!

Diposting oleh fawaid on Selasa, 27 Maret 2012

What an adventure! If you've followed me here (or Facebook/twitter) then you've heard me talk about "this play" I've been involved with for the last 3 months. It kept me insanely busy for a while and there was always something to be done for it, tweaked, discussed, made, etc. BUT - it was A LOT of fun!

I gave of my time for the elementary school musical. 90 kids singing and dancing in Alice in Wonderland with a Preshow of an enhanced version of Oh the Places You'll go! 

5 performances packed into 4 days and as of last night it's all done!



We tend to say - "I don't have time for that." I never said that but just jumped in for the challenge and the experience. Sure I am busy and yes it was hard to juggle everything sometimes but I wouldn't trade it for the experience it gave me with this awesome group of kids and my chance to be a tiny part of that. 


They won't remember the 3 months of practices everyday before school....they won't remember the long days of performances and rehearsals....they probably won't even remember me.....BUT they will remember how they felt on stage....they will remember being in the spotlight, having a crowd cheer, singing like a rock star and all the fun games they got to play backstage. And that makes it all worth it!

(pssst....there's always time to do good)

So - what's my next adventure/project? there's always something brewing or up my sleeve! stay tuned....

The Color Run....my weekend

Diposting oleh fawaid on Kamis, 01 Maret 2012

I spent this past weekend in Las Vegas and participated in The Color Run!
As part of living my year with "Adventure" - the big and the small - I jumped at the chance to get in on all the fun this 5k run had to offer as quickly as possibly! 
I happened across a post my cousin made about it on Facebook, checked it out, watched the You tube video and was hooked! It was the perfect last minute getaway for me and a friend as our reward for the 2 months of work we have put into a local school project.

The Color Run is a 5k fun run for all ages where every kilometer they blast you with a different colored chalky powder. All runners are required to start the race in a white tshirt. Here is us before....

AND US AFTER!!!

It is a complete BLAST!!! I highly recommend it!!! We ran with about 6 -7,000 other people. At the end they have a color festival where everyone gets to throw a pouch of color!


If The Color Run is coming to a city near you or not near you (heck I traveled 7 hours to go to this one!)DO IT!!! You will have a great time! (fyi - they sell out of spots in each city it goes to so register early if you can!)
Here's a short slide show of several photos from that event! 
(plus I have shared some photos on my Facebook page too!)

After the run we headed out on the town for more fun! Wild that I could go from painted up and "dirty" to painted up and "pretty"  - LOL - in a short amount of time on the same day! 

Have you participated in The Color Run ?
