March Madness, Spring break, and Birthday

Ok, so I don't normally post this much, but it is Spring Break. I am avoiding homework. By the way, my birthday is coming up soon. I will be turning 30 years old. Can't believe it. I started a count down at the bottom of my page. I love presents, especially opening them (small hint, j/k). Hopefully, my sisters will remember to mail their packages early. Sometimes they get busy, which I can't believe because they have kids. :)

What I am going to do for Spring Break? Great question, I have been working on a term paper and other homework assignments. Today, I will take my two nieces with me to visit my grandmother in Boise, Idaho for two days. Boise, a great location for spring break because it so warm. (wow, my sacrasm is bad today.)

OH, I almost forgot to share my highlight of the week. It was filling out my brackets for the NCAA tourney. This year was harder than most because of the unconsistency of certain teams. I was randomly guessing for some of them. I am disappointed my alma mater didn't make it. (Go NC STATE) I am still a loyal fan, but realize they are not that good this year, to my dismay. I root anything ACC. which makes life difficult sometimes when your family is divided and you have to CHOOSE SIDES. Luckily, I live in utah where most people don't realize what the ACC is and think that Mountain west conference is the best. I am starting to understand why so many people here are die hard fans of the UTAH JAZZ. I think it is because they don't have great college ball teams here (in the mountain west) and anything exciting comes from the JAZZ. I have a new favorite NBA player, Deron Williams. He is amazing. You are probably wondering, whom did I pick to win. Go ACC! that is my hint.

Certainly you picked Carolina to win! I'm sure you wouldn't even CONSIDER Duke. Don't disappoint me Rachel...

Hey Rachel:
