March Madness

Welcome to one of our favorite times of year--MARCH MADNESS! We both love following the NCAA Basketball Tournament. One memory from college that we share is hanging out at Josh's house almost the entire day on Thursday and Friday watching the opening rounds of the tournament. Bill Robinson (the past president of Whitworth) even came over and had pizza with all of us as we watched the games.

In 2008 we were able to go to the Final Four games in San Antonio. So fun to be right where the action was. We look forward to going to another Final Four in the future.





Starting when we were dating, we have had a bracket competition with each other. Each year we fill our our own brackets and have prizes round by round that the winner of that round gets. Winners have won new basketball shorts, massages, coffee, dinner out, tennis rackets, shopping money, movie choices and special dates. This year we have decided to do things a little different. We are going to keep track of points through the entire tournament. We will earn 2 points for choosing the winning team on our original bracket and 1 point for choosing the winning team on the bracket we will fill out round by round. So, there is potential of winning 3 points for each game. Whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament wins. We haven't decided what we're playing for yet...but I'm sure it will be something good!!

Here are our Final 4 pics...
Josh always chooses the top seeded teams and Jamie always roots for the underdogs (guess thats what happens when you're a Coug)
