March is a great month!
- When March comes around it means only two months left of school. (This year that means only two months left of public school for Willie.)
- March is usually a good month for warmer weather.
- St. Patrick's Day is March 17th -- I love green things and this is very much a day for wearin' the green.
- March is also my baby brother's birthday - he will be 41 tomorrow. I remember the day he was born! I was in 11th grade, my older sister was a first year U of U student. My sisters and I weren't all that excited about having a baby in a house full of teenagers; but we did and it was great! Little did I know then that I would be watching my girls have the same baby in the house as a teenager experience. They did and it was great!
- March means spring! Not sure of the exact day spring begins, but it does begin in March.
- My parents were married in March -- 62 years ago. While Mom is only with us in spirit and as an angel coming once in awhile to carry us through hard things, Dad is here and March 19 will forever be a day of significance for me.
- March is also a big basketball month -- NCAA March Madness tournament. It's been awhile since the Runnin' Utes have seen a tournament, but their showing in the PAC 12 tournament this week has been pretty impressive and that we will likely see the return of Runnin' Utes competitive basketball next year.
New this March!
- Willie was honored at the State Basketball Tournament with nine other Academic All State players. Pretty awesome!
- Tennis is underway and Willie and Parker are both playing varsity doubles.
- Willie is in his last month of Student Body President responsibilities. The last big SBO activity is the Talent Show on March 26th.
- I have two more grandchildren than I had last March, and that is very cool!
- My good friend and colleague, Leigh Ann, has decided to retire in June. I will really miss her, but I am excited about and supportive of her decision.
Looking forward to April!
- We will be doing a family vacation to So Cal to Disneyland. It's like a land cruise, actually. All of us in the same place having fun and doing everything together!
