March Madness TIme

Every year my family goes to the first or second round of the NCAA tournament. Normally the girls go and do their own thing like shopping, swimming, and eating lots of good food. We still did the shopping and eating good food, but we also got to go to the games. My brother Tyler and his family moved to St. George the weekend before so they couldn't make it. Which meant that there was an extra ticket to each session. So my mom went to the first session, Cam's girlfriend went to the second, and I got to go to the last session. I was excited to see what this very manly atmosphere was going to be like. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I actually enjoy watching basketball so I did really well. The first game was a blow out so it got boring but the last game was AWESOME! It was Gonzaga vs. Wichita State. The whole time I was cheering for Wichita State even though I needed Gonzaga to win for my bracket and the WCC tournament. I just love the underdogs! In the end Wichita State won! The atmosphere was so fun because everyone started cheering for Wichita because they were not suppose to win. Gonzaga was suppose to kill them. It was a really fun weekend filled with lots of basketball and good memories. Now we get to watch BYU in the NIT tournament. I sure do love March Madness!!

Enjoy the pictures!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

So where did February and pretty much all of March go? It has gone by fast but it has been filled with lots of fun memories and exciting things in our lives.  So I'll be quick like a leprechaun and give you a recap of what has been going on in the Andrew and Caitlyn Bangerter life!!

-This is my last full semester before I graduate in August!! I'm seriously counting down the days but also feeling sad at the same time. I've loved going to BYU and I'm sad to see it end. It was really weird to apply for graduation and know that that will be day where all my hard work and all the tears will come to an end.

-We went on a quick spur of the moment trip to St. George. My whole family was going down and we figured we might as well join in. Plus, Andrew was dying to golf.

 We discovered a new fun game called Pickleball. It is a combination of tennis and ping pong. It is really big in Southern Utah.

-Then we went to Park City the next weekend! My dad had a conference and we stayed at a friends cabin. It was a lot of fun to explore Park City. We went to the Olympic Park and the outlets. It was a weekend filled with fun and relaxing activities.

-BYU Basketball Season came to an end. We had a lot of fun this year cheering on the Cougars. The best was the last game of the season when we played Gonzaga who was ranked number 2 in the country and we almost beat them. It was one of the most exciting games I've ever been to. Thanks to Andrew we had great seats because he stood in line 4 hours before the game started!! He sure is great!

The rest of the pictures are just some random fun things we've done lately!

-Andrew gets to see his cousin Jake Garlick every day in the MTC.

 -So my favorite cupcake of all time only comes out in March at Sweet Tooth Fairy. It is the Samoa cupcake like the girl scout cookies. Let's just say, I may have had 3 in one week. At work I was telling all my co-workers about it and my boss overheard. The next day at work there was a whole box of Samoa cupcakes for everyone. It was great!

 I keep getting all this graduation stuff from USU. I guess with my concurrent enrollment that I took six years ago, they think I should graduate! ;)

 I introduced Andrew to Which Wich! He liked the BIGGEST size you can get.

 I was sitting on the couch just minding my own business when I look over and see  Andrew planking! He makes me laugh all the time!

 We went and got hot chocolate during a blizzard with our cousins from Texas!

So our cousins Travis and Jessica introduced us to emoticons in texting. It has changed our lives! I found this on Pinterest. I hope to be this good one day! ;)

Hope you all have a happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
