Time for a Major Update

I'm sorry it has been a couple weeks since my last update. I will start with a basketball update.  The team is now 5-1.  We won yesterday against Hoganas 69-54.  It wasn't the prettiest game but we stepped up in the 2nd half and pulled away.  I was able to bring a lot of energy to the game and was selected player of the game which was a nice honor.  I finished with 6 pts 10 rebounds 1 steal and 3 assists.  I played 24 minutes which is actually the most I have played all season so hopefully I'm working my way up to getting more minutes in the future games.

Practice has been going well and I still think we have one of the best teams in the league.  We just have to put all the little things together and I think as we continue to play together we will get better as a team.  We now have a bye week so we won't play again till the weekend after next.

Becca and I took a trip to Jonkoping last week and got a few things for the place from Ikea with Tobe.  We all hung out and went to the mall there and that was pretty fun.  Nassjo is a nice small town but there really is not a ton of stuff to do here.  We usually just hang out with teammates and or watch movies etc.

If any of you ever have any questions for me, feel free to post them here on the blog or ask me on facebook.  I'd love to tell you all more about the city and Sweden if your interested.  I know right now Becca and I are looking into possibly taking a trip to Rome in March before the season is over.

This is such a great time in our lives where we have the opportunity to be together in a foreign country and I get to live out my dream of playing international basketball and have my wife by my side.  We really are blessed.  Thanks for all the support from home.  We appreciate it! Until the next post.

Win vs Solna! 3-0

Got another W today! We beat Solna 83-62.  I played a good game minus some bad turnovers again.  I finished with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal.  I feel myself getting more comfortable every game.  I had a good week of practice and plan on keeping it up!  Things are getting better here in Sweden and Becca will be here in 4 days!.  I am going to attach a short highlight film from the game today.  Sorry its not the best quality but at least you can see about a minute of clips. Enjoy and again thanks for all the love and support back home!

Win #2

So we got our second win of the season last Saturday at Norrkoping! The score was something like 73-42.  I didn't play a ton and didn't play great when I was in but it's still early and the season.  I finished with 6 points 3 rebounds and a lot of turnovers :( But I'm keeping my head up! This week has been a good week of practice so far and I am so excited because Becca will be here in a week!  I'm sorry but I don't really have anything exciting to blog about at the moment.  If anything else comes up I'll keep you all informed! Thanks for following.
