March Madness

So the title actually means several things in my family. First and foremost it is basketball playoff time. Woo hoo!! It is my second favorite sports time of the year (only to college football bowls) and I'm so excited to get the games started. I watched Purdue win the Big 10 championship Sunday afternoon and then watched the selection show right after. It was great to see some teams really excited to be in the tournament. And then there was Memphis. Ok, I know they are upset to not get the #1 seed, however, show some class. When Memphis was announced as a #2 seed, their players barely clapped. How pathetic! The best thing they could have done was show some excitement and then go out onto the court and PROVE you should have been #1. Well, as soon as the selection show was over, I was online completing my brackets. I've done 2 cause there were several matchups I couldn't decide who I thought would win. Also, I like picking the upset every once in awhile. So, bring on the basketball! I will, of course, be rooting for my Sooners, but would like to see Purdue and Butler do well.


The second stage of my March madness is work. Yesterday, we had a large ceremony at one of our hospitals (did I mention that this is my large project for the next couple of years and anything and everything to do with this expansion is mine - when it comes to marketing) that is going through a $130 million expansion. So, I spent all day yesterday setting up, coordinating, tearing down, etc for this event. We had a great turnout and were covered on all the major network news shows last night. Here's a photo from the event.
Madness part 3 is our personal schedule. From soccer to school to church...it's BUSY. I had to create a family calendar for March through July and color code each event based on who it pertained to. It is CRAZY. We have something every day/night this month except for Fridays. I'm going to do my best to keep those free. So, in the midst of my madness, I'm trying to find ways to relax - mainly running, working out and reading good books. There has got to be some sanity in my madness :)

Habitat Build


So, in my first post I forgot to mention something cool that my office did. As a group project (and our whole organization participated), we did a Habitat for Humanity build on 2 homes. It was such an amazing experience and I was so touched when the houses were completed and I got to attend the ceremony for the handing over of the keys. If you have an opportunity to participate in one of these builds, I highly recommend doing so.
