Race for the Rescues

So I've been waiting until pictures were posted to write this, but apparently that's not going to happen. Since I participated in this race, I didn't have my camera with me, therefore I only took 2 pictures with my phone. Sad. 

Anyways, Doug, Maisy and I went to this awesome race in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl. Obviously, I am a big fan of rescues and it was so amazing to see many different organizations there. They had animals up for adoption, free food, a pet costume contest and more. 


There were several celebs that were supposed to attend as well, including Eden Sher from The Middle. Mario Lopez was supposed to be the host of the event, and Denise Richards was supposed to be a judge in the costume contest, but I think they were both no-shows. Lame.


But I did get to meet the celebrity I was most excited for! Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Beiste on Glee, was there. I finally worked up the nerve to go say hi as she was leaving, and I'm so glad I did. She is tied with Kelly Ripa for the nicest celebrity I've ever met. Seriously, she couldn't be nicer! Loved her.


Maisy had a great time in the race, but afterwards we were all exhausted. We're still recovering actually! :)

    I think I may have said, "It was so nice of you to buy that walker for Artie last Christmas."
