I have been MIA...I know. I really have been around, but between school and parent-teacher conferences and who know what else, I have not had a chance to blog.
That means I have to take a jump back a month to start things out. Check out my new nativity. A Christmas themed gift for Valentine’s Day...I love it. I left it displayed through St. Patrick’s day, but then thought I should box it up so I can look forward to getting it out in December.
And now, it’s March Madness and I’m all kinds of excited. I filled out my bracket Wednesday night and have been closely following and highlighting my wins over the last few days. Currently Trent leads 28-26 in picks.
Friday afternoon we headed out to the Century Link Center to catch some of the Midwest regional games. We watched Florida defeat Virginia and Norfolk State upset Missouri. During the Virginia/Florida game we spent part of the time out in the concourse cheering on Creighton as they battled Alabama in a close game. My blood pressure was basically off the charts. Creighton has had a lot of “barn burners” lately as the sports commentators like to call it. The outcomes have been mostly good, but it’s a little more than I can handle!
The quote from a commercial that has been played 101 times since the start of the tournament saying, “You pick the favorite and root for the underdog,” is my new favorite quote. I found myself doing just that at the Missouri/Norfolk State game. I had picked Missouri, but Norfolk State had spirit and played really well. Plus their band was a crowd favorite. It was a good game and even though I was surrounded by Missouri fans I secretly cheered for the underdog.
Now it’s back to the second half of the Creighton game. Here’s to crossing your fingers that they can pull through!

That's so cool that you got to see the Missouri upset! I was rooting for Creighton, but I didn't really think they could beat UNC. I'm pretty sure my bracket is a big mess now :)
