1. Redbud trees in bloom.
2. Cousin Ka's fiancee concocting a story about me doing the robot on top of a table at the bar and everyone in the family getting the six different reasons that was hilarious.
3. Long conversations with pretty much every family member I did not have a conversation with the last two family holidays.
4. Easter candy and new flip-flops from my mom.
5. Finally getting the hang of styling my new haircut.
6. Cousin R having no memory of the rehearsal dinner at the wedding reception.
7. All the cousins finally being of drinking age.
7a. Driving in a group of 6 of said cousins, in various degrees of intoxication, in a
vehicle that was designed to seat 5. (Don't worry, our driver and navigator were
not drunk.)
8. Dancing with Cousin Ke, then fleeing the floor when they started playing polka.
9. Baby Brother's lip-sync interpretation of "My Girl"
10. Most of the Lowe family gravitating to the food portion of the reception hall, as far away from the dance floor as possible, leading to the following:
Cousin R: [new wife]'s family dances like we play games.
Me: See, that's why I'm going to play bunco at my wedding reception.

Yeah, I'm not talking about my brackets any more. That's over and done with. 3 out of 16 possible Final Four teams in the men (LSU and UCLA twice), not much better in the women. Besides, I signed up for my fantasy baseball team yesterday. Aren't you looking forward to those entries?
