3 months have gone by...

aug 28th when i arrived in spain seems so long ago...but on the other hand i can't believe i get to be home for Christmas in just 17 days! i have missed my family so much. and i am so thankful that they have been there for me every step of the way. 

on the basketball side, we won the last 2 games that we played. a couple weeks ago we played home and last week we played in barcelona. i wish we stayed there so i could see the city more but... we left bilbao at 7:30am and drove a wonderful 8 hours on a bus. then we played and got right back on the bus for another 8 hours back. and i thought that travel days we long at suu :). sam didn't travel to barcelona because she hurt her ankle at the beginning of the week. it was pretty bad the first 2 days she couldn't walk on it. but she has recovered and is now practicing. without her on the bus was awful... i love basketball but the basketball here is so different, i just try to play and not think about how the rotation on our 2-3 zone isn't correct lol! off the court the girls on the team really are a joy to be around.

thanksgiving was just about a week ago... it was hard to not be around my family. but sam and i put together our own little thanksgiving. we didn't eat until like 10 because we had practice at 6:30. but it turned out very nice, as nice as it could be in spain & away from family. we had chicken... turkey is hard to find plus it would be too big for just the 2 of us!.. i will let the pictures tell the rest...







we are both very excited to see our families and to get some wins in the next 3 games before the Christmas breaks begins! :)
