There will be upsets

Last week, for the second time in my life, I booked a flight to Chile. Ever since I left my Chilean family and the city on the hill, I have had a very strong desire to return. It does not feel like two years since I have studied abroad, but then I think about all of the things that have happened in my life since I came home. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to go back and spend time in the country that taught me so much about myself. On this trip I will also be going to Peru. I am looking forward to everything that this summer has to offer.

Meanwhile, March Madness is taking up all of the spare time that I don't actually have. I decided to use one of my whiteboards to draw a gigantic bracket for the tournament. Having the bracket has been fun and a good amount of my kids are really into the games. I think it's always nice to have something outside of school that I can connect with my kids about. March Madness is my favorite time of the year.

In other news, my dad is doing this really cool thing for Lent and blogging every single day. He's a trooper. You can check his blog out here.  He and my mom have also taken up the art of the "selfie". My parents have always been tech savy but they just started taking pictures of themselves on their adventures (that they basically go on all of the time now that they are loners) and it's great. Granted, I don't expect them to post pictures for selfie Sunday anytime soon.

Maybe I'll take a cue from my dad and try and get better about blogging...
