Successful Completion

I know I was all concerned about how well the Walk for Life event was going to go because of my lack of financial donations, but, it seems I was worried about nothing.

It was a wonderful experience. It didn't start off that way though. The day started by my sleeping too late, taking too long in the shower, not getting my husband and kids up early enough and being more than 30 minutes after the event was to begin. The walk was to begin at 9, registration beginning at 8. We got there at 9:30. But, we weren't the only ones who were late, so that made me feel a bit better. And, as it turned out, the event got off to a late start as well. When we got there, testimonials were being given over a sound system from the outdoor stage at the State Fairgrounds. We actually had enough time to get registered, take a potty break and put on the t-shirt that was given to me, eat a donut or two (I only ate one, but my hubby ate a few, lol) and get in place for the walk to begin.

We walked about a mile and then spent a little time just socializing. There were a couple activities set up for children to enjoy that included a bouncy house and big inflated slide. My daughter enjoyed both of those greatly. :)

So, in the end, it was a great experience. The only two things that were a bit of a downer was that it didn't last long enough and I ended up with a sunburn. But, hey, those are trivial things and good 'problems' to have with the whole thing, lol.

I'll definitely be a part of this again next year. And, maybe I'll actually figure out something with this whole money part of it all. :)
