Sigh

Finding her like this just makes my little book loving heart go pitter-patter. Next she’s going to be reading by flashlight in bed and parking her book behind her cereal bowl. Not that I would know anything about that.

March Madness

Sunday was Selection Sunday and that is my second favorite Fitz Fam tradition. We’ve been picking teams for the tournament forever and so we gather to watch the Selection Show, eat some pizza and find out what teams we get to pull for during the tournament.

This year we drafted teams for the first time. It took a lot of concentration.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have much concentration so I don’t even remember what teams I got- except BYU! Are my teams on my bracket?

Owen even helped. This year is extra special because J & I are going to the Final Four!!! Thanks to his work, we have great seats for the games and are really really super excited about it. Like totally excited.

So my dream Final Four would be: Duke, UNC, BYU (I want to see Jimmer play!) and Wofford (Go SoCon!). Its not going to happen because BYU and Wofford play each other in the first round.

Remember That Time

Sometimes we play a game dubbed Remember That Time. It goes like this:

Me: Remember that time we went to San Francisco.

J: Yeah.

 

You ready? Let’s play Remember That Time.

Remember that time that J turned 30?

yeah.

Remember that time I conspired with his coworker to drive to Chattanooga, TN to surprise him on the evening of his 30th birthday?

yeah.

Remember that time the grandparents graciously cared for our four children so I could sneak away and celebrate adults only style?

yeah.

Remember that time I found that great Mexican restaurant for dinner and the cupcake bakery for dessert in downtown to celebrate?

yeah.

Remember that time that J got a 12 hour stomach virus on his birthday and didn’t see anyone except the front desk clerk who brought him some Powerade and how we got me take out and more Gatorade for J and watched basketball before going to bed early instead of my grand plans when I showed up unannounced?

yeah.

March 1

March 1 is an important date around here.

30 years ago, Merritt joined the world! Happy 30th Birthday Merritt!

Also 30 years ago, Jonathan was about to make his entrance. Last time he was early, right Susan? (Just kidding babe. Just kidding.)

9 years ago, Jonathan proposed to me at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

insert photo here- except I lost a digital camera on a train in Munich

and the film from the film camera came out blank!

and today, we paid off my student loan! I feel FREE!

Why?

Why can’t every day be 75 degrees?
