To celebrate the exam, we were off to Mexico for a vacation! Jeremy and Erin Anderson went with us on vacation and we stayed at an all inclusive resort. It was a wonderful time filled with a Sweet 16 trip for Purdue. Jeremy and I enjoyed ourselves enough to start something we like to call “Pool Dunking.”
The pictures can speak for themselves, but basically you are catching a beach ball and dunking it into an innertube…it may sound childish, but if you give 2 guys enough drinks and a few items, you can turn the kid pool into your own dunk-fest! We enjoyed several drinks, had a comfortable room, saw some whales from the shore, did some kayaking, played some ping pong, got beat up by some big waves, did some dancing on the beach, played some euchre and even a few shots of tequila!
Deb and I did our usual March Madness Bracket Challenge and for the first time since we met, I have lost! I had won the first 5 times, but she had some gutsy calls that worked out and she won pretty easily. The good news is that she also won some money in the bracket challenge we do with my family. I’ll remember to not laugh at her bracket next year, because it could end up winning us a lot more than just bragging rights!
For the Sweet 16 games, I was able to get a few tickets from our auditors at work to go to Lucas Oil Stadium for the 1st round of the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. It was a great time and we really enjoyed the event. Of course we were on our best behavior, but it was pretty cool to watch the game from the suite and enjoy all the food and drink you could handle!
Since 2002, I’ve played in a flag football league here in Indy. It is the reason Deb and I met and it has given us a great group of friends over the last 7 years. Once again, I am playing this spring. Deb isn’t playing because of the 2 surgeries on her hand which was caused by an injury in this league. I don’t know how much longer I will play, but I hope to continue to play as long as possible. If you count that league along with running 4 times a week for the Mini, you can say that I am officially starting to feel the effect of turning 30!
As I write this month’s events, I should update that my dad was admitted to the hospital today with a blood clot in his leg. He was scheduled to start his bone marrow transplant preparation work on Wednesday and that is still on schedule. He will probably be in the hospital this week and will hopefully go home this weekend. After being home for a 2 weeks, he will head back for the transplant and be in the hospital for 2-4 weeks. By mid-May, we have to have him back at home, resting and recovering from his transplant with hopefully decent results!
