Today kicks off March Madness! I'm so excited. I love this time of the year! There are so many basketball games to watch...the upsets, the Cinderella teams, the buzzer beaters. Ah, it's so great! After taking a year off, I'm back in a pool and really hope my bracket wins. I could take home a good chunk of change if I do! Wish me luck!
I found a new place to get blogger backgrounds! My friend from middle school, Melinda, has a really cute one and it led me to Smitten. They have some really cute designs, and best of all, they're free!
I'm back to running on a more consistent basis. My stomach has been giving me so many problems lately, I put running on hold for a bit. Well, my stomach isn't getting any better so I'm back to running. I have the biggest love/hate relationship with running. I am planning on doing 2 races this year. The Bolder Boulder in May and the Estes Park Half Marathon in June.
I've started keeping a gratitude/encouragement notebook. I write down something in it everyday- whether it's small things I'm grateful for, kind words of encouragement I've received, or the highlight of my day. I have a tendency of holding onto the negative and letting the good things slip through unnoticed. My new plan is to look back through it every now and then and be encouraged and realize how blessed I really am.
The wedding planning is coming along fabulously! The flowers are about the only big item I have left to figure out. I (finally) asked all of my girls to be my bridesmaids. And they are the best girls! My sister is my matron of honor. Dez, who I used to work with, and Erin and Shiloh, who I met through Ben are my bridesmaids. Only 200 days to go!

i love cathcing up on your life, and love reading your blog. you are beautiful, and i can't wait to see all the wedding plans come together.
i skipped the big work pool this year, and i will be really mad i did, if i have a good bracket. my husband and i are doing our own contest at home. he thinks my bracket is terrible (although he does every year, and i beat him every year), i convinced him if i win i get a new camera... so wish me good luck. i really want a new camera.
ah march madness--it's so great! I hope you do good in the bracket!!
