March Madness

There's just something incredibly great about competition. The Road to the Final Four has plenty of that. Whether you're a fanatic basketball fan or you just like rooting for the underdog, college basketball is the best. I don't watch all year long, but come mid March I'm ready with bracket in hand hanging on to every game hoping that the teams I picked come out on top. We all love the dramatic endings! It has been fun to watch the Men's Baylor team, who hasn't won a tournament game in 60 years, make it to the Elite 8! I was extrememly greatful to find out that the Sweet 16 was in Houston this year and that the tickets, though way up in the nose bleed section, were as cheap as they were! Though last night's game was uneventful with Baylor winning by 30 points, the atmosphere and the experience I will always remember!!

I know this sounds crazy coming from a girl! My friends laugh at me all the time because I love sports so much. I don't know where it comes from!! I love to play sports, but sometimes I get more out of rooting for my team to win! I guess being an only child and being a girl, I was my dad's "boy"! He took me to golf tournaments mostly, when I was younger, which I still enjoy doing. But now it's me begging him to go! I've grown to love most any sport! My dad always asks me how I pick a team to root for. Of course the obvious ones are in my home town, but mostly it's the underdog, or if I like their team name, or a coach/player on the team. There's usually no rhyme or reason to it!!

Now, I'm sitting here in the hotel room waiting for my dad to make a decision to stay one more day and go to the Elite 8 game tomorrow afternoon. Our tickets were good for both games, which is something we didn't realize when we first bought them. We originally thought the game was going to be at 1 pm and were excited to go, but now found out it's not until 4 pm which will put us home late.

You're probably wondering what the ENUGGET will be for today on this topic, well I say there's nothing wrong with a little competition in your life. In fact it's healthy. The only problem is letting it run your life. That's when it gets to be unhealthy and detrimental to your relationships. So, just have fun, and don't let the losses in your life get you down! :) Always put God first!! Be Blessed!!!
