March Madness

Here is a snippet of conversation that I had the other day with Corey.

Corey: You should make a bracket for March Madness.
Charlotte: I don't know the first thing about NCAA or basketball.
Corey: Oh, don't worry; it's anyone's game.

So I made my bracket with confidence that I would win some games. Basically, I chose my teams based on which school name I liked better. Sad, huh?

Corey looks at my bracket. I can tell he's trying not to laugh.

Corey: Wow. Good luck with that. You know there's rankings beside the teams right?

Not shockingly, I don't know that. I realize that I've mostly chosen underdogs.


Now that we're almost through the second round, I don't even want to say how bad my bracket looks. His, nearly perfect (except for the Harvard/New Mexico game, which I guess was a big deal). My biggest upset was that I had St Mary's going all the way against Michigan. And they lost in the second round by 2 points.

As little as I know about basketball, I know Corey is happy that I'm sharing this with him. He is (I won't say obsessed) with basketball. Me: not so much. I prefer things of the crafting nature. Knitting, glue guns, etc.

I think it's pretty cool when Corey gets to teach me about something he loves. And we both benefit because we're spending time together. Two years of marriage isn't very long but it's been nothing short of incredible!
