A work in progress.....GO ILLINI!

I know that has been A WHILE since my last blog...so sit back and relax this one is going to be a doozie!

As everyone already knows, Florida was a good time. The weather was nice. It rained while we were there but for the most part, it didn't interfere with our daily plans.That Saturday, I saw my 1st Tigers preseason game. I really liked the stadium. I especially liked the strawberry shortcake sundaes that they were serving, though I did not get one. They looked really yummy. Though the best part of that Saturday happened at about 10pm the Illini BEAT Arizona in the most remarkable comeback I have ever seen! For those that were around me when this turn of events occurred, I apologize for my madness. It was a GREAT game...one that I will always remember. On Sunday, we repeated the madness with Michigan State beating Kentucky....this time around it was Joyce who was a wreck. So overall, the trip to Florida was a great time.

Since we have been back, I haven't been up to much. I got sick AGAIN. That would be 3 times in 1 month. I went to the doctor last Wednesday, he told me that I had a cold and if I am still coughing in a week to come back in. I told him that I have been coughing for a month already, why do I have to wait another week. Though, I have to admit, I am feeling much better today. The cough syrup with codeine must be the reason. :) In other news, Mike and I bought a 51 inch TV. I am actually excited about the purchase. We have been talking about buying one for a while now, though I wanted to wait till after our wedding. But we got it at a price that you just couldn't have pass up!

Okay, now to the IMPORTANT stuff.... Today, I might witness history in the making. Yes, that is right, I am talking about the NCAA Championship game. Illinois vs.. North Carolina. My whole academic career, I have waited for the Illini to be good at something. Could this be the year? Only time will tell. But regardless if they win or lose, they have had a heck of a season and I am proud of them regardless. (though it would be awesome if they won). I am just looking forward to having my life back. I am too emotionally involved. I just want this game to be over as I am ready to move on and focus my attention towards something else. Like MIAMI...only 24 more days to go!
