March Madness!!

My husband is lucky he married me. I know that sounds a bit pompous, but let me explain why. I LOVE LOVE LOVE sports, especially basketball. I can sit and watch basketball for hours. I love watching ESPN and Sports Center. (Dustin and I have done that together since we have been dating.) Sometimes I wish I wasn't so obsessed. Like last night when Davidson, featuring Stephon Curry and St. Marys, featuring Patty Mills (both amazing players) played each other and I stayed up way too late watching the game because it was a good game and I can't turn off or fall asleep when there is a good basketball game on. But anyway, I sure do love this time of year. March Madness seriously is one of my favorite times of year. I can sit and watch basketball games for hours on end, game after game, and there have been some GOOD games this year! My bracket is crap now (but not as bad as "Jack's" that Dustin helped with) but I don't care. Brackets keep me torn anyway: I really want the underdog to win, but I want the higher seed to win for my bracket's sake. Anyway, I hope everyone else is enjoying March Madness as well. I always feel a little sad when I know there will be no more college basketball games to watch for several months. But for now we have a few more weeks to go! Happy March Madness!

Classic picture!

Does it make me a mean mom that I absolutely LOVE this picture of crying, bundled up Jack? Classic. Classic, I say. I love it.

Go NAVY!

Well, I am done coaching basketball for the year. I absolutely loved the team of middle school girls that I coached this year. They were a really great TEAM. Our motto was, "We're a TEAM, not a PLAYER." Because other teams had one girl that did all the scoring, but on our team everybody scored, or shot, or played awesome defense. And EVERYONE improved! That is why I coach....to see a team come together like this one did. It was great to watch and see! Anyway, just wanted to say how proud I am of my girls and how much fun I had coaching this year. It was crazy with Jack at practices or finding places for Jack, but it was a great experience all the same. Their record wasn't great (they ended 4-8) but they came together at the end of the season and won 4 out of their last 6 games. All their losses but two were by 6 points or less. Lots of close games! They were great and it was a wonderful coaching experience. Plus, they got me a spa gift card which is awesome and I can't wait to use it! Thanks Navy team for a great season and for making me feel like a successful and very proud coach!
