March Madness!

What a wild month! I definitely love March. So many basketball games to watch, and brackets to fill out! I am probably the biggest Kansas Jayhawk fan you will ever meet and I had a lot of fun cheering them on this year. Once again, they left me without another championship and it was pretty hard to swallow, but I think I have handled it pretty well. My family likes to tease me ( Jayhawks suck, by: Michael, see if she catches this before she posts it VCU seriously!!!) (Side note: I did see this before, I just thought it was a great example of how much people like to tease me when KU loses :() whenever they lose, and this year was no exception! We watched a few of UW girls WNIT games it was really fun! Kyri seriously loves to watch basketball. She sat and watched so many games with us! This month we got to have a nice spring break. We went up to Lovell/Billings for a few days and it was so good to see everyone. We went to Billings and saw Matt and his family, Heather and her family, and Willy. Then we went back to Lovell and just had a relaxing weekend. We went to church with Dino and Kristie and then spent some time at Toby and Cathy’s house. The next day was Zeke’s birthday so we had pizza and celebrated at Toby and Cathy’s. We had so much fun seeing everyone we didn’t want to leave! Whenever we go home to Mtn. View or Lovell I never want to come back to Laramie! Only 2 more years here I guess though so it will be ok. We had to come back early from spring break to work. After that March was kind of a blur. Kyri was pretty sick the last couple days we were in Lovell, she had a terrible fever (104 L) so that was really scary. We took her to the Dr. 3 times in 4 weeks. The first time they said nothing was wrong and she just had a little cold. The second time they tested her for RSV etc. and didn’t find anything, just a cold. The third time after terrible fevers and puking all over everything ( I don’t mean spitting up, she was literally projectile vomiting on everything, me, Michael, Evan, the floor, everything!) I took her in bound and determined to get some answers. It turned out that she had a cold (like the last 2 times) AND a double ear infection, so she got to be on antibiotics for a few days and she is doing MUCH better now. She likes to come to work with me every once in a while. Every year at work we do the Pop of Gold where they fill up balloons with $$$$ and you get to pick a balloon and whatever money is in it you win! Kyri came and she picked a $5 balloon J We also bought Tangled for Kyri when it came out on DVD. SHE LOVED IT! We watched it for family movie night and she stayed up with me till 11 watching… Michael fell asleep… J We are looking for a new apartment which is really frustrating but it will be so nice to get out of the place we are in now.. it is WAY too expensive. It is hard to believe this semester is winding down, it has gone by so fast! I have changed my plan (again) and I am putting off my History degree for a semester and I am starting to work on an Elementary Education Degree. I am pretty excited about it! Michael and I will hopefully finish school at the same time, so it will only take me a couple extra semesters and then I will have a history degree and an Elementary Education degree along with 12 credits towards my masters! Other than that we are just chugging along juggling school, work, and family. That is all the update I have for now! Hopefully I can get a little better at this when I have a little break from school!
