Change up!

So I was originally planning on wearing my penguin costume again for the Princess. However, now I have changed my mind. It just didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to and so I wasn't completely happy with it. Plus no one got it. NO. ONE. I was asked if I was a penguin from Mary Poppins or the squeak toy from Toy Story(though I may use it as my costume for the next Disney Halloween Party so I can be Wheezy)

I also decided to change because I still wanted to do my original idea for the race. When all of this started, since I knew Mac was going to be deployed, I wanted to have a shirt made up and have something about him on it. I wanted it to at least say something about my soldier. Whether it was "Running for my soldier." or something cuter. I scrapped all of that when I came up with the penguin idea but a part of me still wanted to do it. Now that I'm not completely happy with my costume, it has been on my mind that much more. So, I'm going back to the original idea.

I just ordered my shirt. Thanks to my friend Maggie, I have the perfect thing for it to say, "My Soldier calls me Princess" She saw a shirt online that said, "A Soldier calls me Princess" and she fell in love with it. That is what her shirt will say. I changed it up a little but it is basically the same thing.

Here is a preview of the shirt.

Back

And here is my SparkleTech Sparkle Skirt.

I'm excited about my new outfit. I think it will be more fitting as well. Mac was such a huge part of my journey and he was there for me last year. I am going to miss seeing him during and after the race this year. But this way, I will feel like he is with me a little more.

I didn't want the front to be completely empty so I decided to add my little 13.1 design. It will be perfect since the Princess will complete my coast to coast. Plus I just absolutely love that design and I'm pretty proud of it.

Now to anxiously wait until my shirt arrives.

Update: The new complete look, minus the tiara of course.
