We are the BIG BLUE NATION.

How bout them cats, baby!! Did anyone else watch the NCAA Final Four and NCAA Championships? Cause you can bet we were watching here in the BLUEgrass state! First off, how often does a state have 2 teams in the Final Four games? And how often are those 2 teams pitted against each other in what was dubbed the Final Four Civil War?

UK and UofL played their little hearts out Saturday, and in the end, my Cats pulled out a win. We went all out to show our support. T-shirts, facepaint, burning couches...you name it, we did it. And then my babies did it again Monday night!


reppin' Big Blue!

KU vs. UK. Both teams were underdogs this season; ESPN didn't even have UK in their final four bracket. And they both played incredibly well. I literally thought I was having heart palpitations during the game! But UK did it, and KY celebrated like only we can. There were riots in Lexington, people were burning couches and crowds got pepper-sprayed. It was pretty much pandemonium.

fire in the streets. there may be a couch under there.
We even watched the live coverage of the celebration at Rupp Arena and the arrival of the team back home. I honestly have never been this proud of UK basketball and felt this intense about a season or a particular team of players. We are the #BBN!

After Saturday's win (and celebration) I headed out to the Lake with my parents and brother for some rest and relaxation (read: beer and sunbathing). We roasted s'mores over the fire and hiked around the campsite. Me and Tanner even got out our baseball gloves and tossed the ball around for a while.
Woodchuck and a fishing rod. Great day at the lake!
I swear, it felt like summer in high school all over again. Just hanging with the fam, laying out all day, no worries. And then back to the grind and reality early Monday morning. But, everyone's at the lake til Easter Sunday, and I'm so ready to pack my bags and head out there come 4pm Friday afternoon.

Dad's 2nd catch of the day!
I'm ready for all day at the lake, laying in the sun, Saturday night out with my girls back home, and a great Easter with my family.
Bring on the sun and good times, por favor!
