That’s what we did this past saturday, We wore all white, knee high socks, sweat bands, ran, jumped and danced the amazing COLOR RUN!. It is truly the most fun 5k I have ever been, I did not worry if I’m the fastest runner, I just want to enjoy the moment. If I’m not mistaken this event is inspired by a Hindu festival called Holi. It is celebrated every spring in India and Nepal.
I just love the idea of letting your guard down, it’s ok if you dance/jump with the music while your covered with multiple colored cornstarch; It was one of the moments in my life that my mind did not wander and just let myself be in the present. It should definitely be in anyone’s bucket list. Enough with the talk, here are the photos of the day.

“Wednesdays” seems to be a hump that either gets me feeling bummed or excited. I get sad that its only wednesday or get excited that the weekend is just close by. It’s like anticipating a vacation with no destination.
My hubby and I are planning what to do for our second year anniversary. Any suggestions?
Waves of sunshine.

My hubby and I had been checking off some items in our bucket list. 2012 was all about the Music, We enjoyed every song, sang our hearts out and cheered to 4 concerts of some of our favorite artists. The Fray, Ingrid Michaelson, Jason Mraz and Norah Jones. From jamming from the pit to enjoying the view of the red rocks, we have filled our soul with great music. Here’s the recap from 2012.
May 2012 The Fray concert in Dallas!
After 2 days we head over to Austin to visit my family then enjoyed Ingrid Michaelson’s music!
Oh this photo is taken right before Mike got hit by a drum stick that the drummer gave away.

Recipe: You need any type of steak, we used ribeye steak & shrimp. Any type of veggies you would like.
Marinate: 1/4 cup Oyster sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/8 cup of soy suce
pinch of sugar
Lemon juce
fresh garlic and pepper
Marinate the steak and shrimp for minimum for about 2 hours. Then start grilling.
After you put all the kabobs on the grill close the lid and let it caramelized.
while waiting, play a trick with your pet!
then it’s time to flip!
then we played with our lovely dog again.
Gosh! she has grown!
to know if it’s ready, we made sure all the shrimp are nicely pink.
Then this is the finish product. you can eat it with toasted pita bread or rice.
Yum!!!
