A CINDERELLA STORY STARRING YOURS TRULY (NOT HILARY DUFF)...

CINDERELLA STORY: 
a tale of one that unexpectedly achieves success after a period of obscurity. 

this march i made my picks just like i do every year.

but this year things went quite differently than years past.

i strategically filled out two different brackets

(in approximately three and a half minutes)

and had evan pick which one to enter in his office pool.

it's a good thing he submitted the bracket he did for me.

i made decent picks in the first round,

but in the rounds that followed my teams were dropping like flies.

however uconn remained.

conveniently enough i had picked them to win it all.

.

and then a week ago a little detail was brought to our attention.

if uconn won the next two games i would be the outright winner of the office pool.

before i could blink we were all sporting uconn shirts

and really hoping i got first out of more than two hundred entries.

 

the night of the championship game there was lots of cheering.
evan had an awesome last minute chance to be at the game,
so he went and cheered in person for uconn to win.
i cheered nervously from our couch for uconn to win,
and his family gathered around me and cheered for uconn/me too.  

in the end, all i can say is good work boys.

thanks for making my own personal cinderella story come true.

i will always remember this march madness.
it is the year the girl whose picks are usually ridiculed actually worked out.

 i couldn't be more excited if i tried!
