March Madness

Two of my favorite traditions happen in March... and they both revolve around basketball.  First, I complete and submit an NCAA mens' bracket -- in hope of winning the million (still waiting on that one -- especially after this year).  Second, I find a way to watch one of the greatest sports' movies ever, Hoosiers.

We're glad that spring has nearly arrived in Idaho.  We see more of the sun these days, and are enjoying the warmer temperatures.  It is nice that blizzards in the spring are rare for Boise... a welcome change to our spring time experiences in Colorado and Nebraska.

The really big news (my editor at the newspaper would kill me for "burying the lead" in this story!), is that we are really close to moving into a home of our own.  Because the property is bank owned, it takes a little longer to get the paperwork straightened out -- ugh!  In case you're wondering, no, we haven't sold our condo in Denver yet.  It is still rented, but we are eager to get rid of it soon.

Naomi and Grace have two months of school left before summer vacation.  It will be nice to have everyone home again.  Sol loves to play with his sisters, and he will have his fill of that soon!

Life is still moving along... and we have lots of work ahead of us this summer with the church.  It's hard to imagine that it was only a year ago that we were considering a move to Idaho.  What a ride!
