as i've mentioned in previous posts, this past weekend was the UNC Dance Marathon.
i was up for over 40 hours straight and on my feet for most of them. in the end, it was all worth it! 
these banners required us to get up on lifts in order to hang them...and this one fell at 5:30...less than an hour before the dancers were going to arrive. talk about a stressful 30 minutes!
the treasure chest (note those beautiful pearls that i spent the entire super bowl cutting out)
some of the 1600 dancers standing on their feet FOR THE KIDS!
more dancers
when the end of the 24 hour marathon rolled around the overall committee revealed the total amount of funds rasied.....$421,851.32 for the North Carolina Children's Hospital. some of the families that had previously benefited from the FTK fund were there when the final total was revealed...and seeing those children made all the pain and fatigue so worth it!!! after all, 24 hours is a really short amount of time in the long scheme of things, so why not help those that are less fortunate than me?!
i got home around 10:30pm on saturday night and i hadn't been home since 9:45am on friday morning, so needless to say, i was exhausted. i sat down on my bed and called kotr and after we'd chatted for a few minutes i looked down and noticed i had dried up liquid that had leaked from all the bags of trash i had carried on my legs. i told him that i'd have to call him back after i got out of the shower. once i hung up the phone i tried to stand up to walk to the bathroom and i literally could not stand. i know it's super gross, but i had no choice. ...but don't worry, after i woke up on sunday (at 3pm) i immediately washed my sheets! :)
i CAN'T WAIT for dance marathon 2011!!!!
