Sitting on the couch, RELAXING (as Rob would say, recharging the batteries), the events of last month reeling in our minds we realize that we have been living the life of Aesop's tortoise. It has been a struggle to continue the race knowing that we were so far behind, however we kept trucking. Now, the hare is finally in site and we know that the finish line is soon to come. In the midst of constantly playing catch up, it seems that we have forgotten everything that has happened.
So..."What the H just happened?" (in Rob's words)
1. The white station wagon finally died...oh wait...I mean it is stuck in reverse, literally. The good thing about this tragic situation is that we finally got our real car, a beautiful KIA Sorento. This AUTOMATIC car is a two seater SUV and drives like a dream (diesel ONLY). I don't know how we landed an automatic...maybe because we broke two manuals...but Elizabeth is absolutely pumped.
2. The Internet is here, which means we no longer have to steal from the rink. Even though we had to install the software three times, Rob can now check his fantasy football without feeling rushed (believe me, this was a PROBLEM). As good as this sounds, we are still without a house phone so we are relying on SKYPE for our communication. Download NOW! (http://www.skype.com/)
3. We have slowly acquired a few more furnishing for the house making it more livable. We know that is better for the neighbors as well because we now have mars colored drapes that cover our "private" lives.
4. Hockey, sorry to bore you. Overall, it's going well. We have won our last two games and that is a winning streak. This winning streak thing is kind of a big deal because it is rare for this team. I am not doing as well offensively as I hoped but am playing well overall. The points will come with each passing game as I get more adjusted to European hockey and life. It would have been nice to be here for the whole season so that everything wasn't happening all at once and I would have had time to get comfortable before we started playing games. We only have six more games until an extended Christmas season break. Elizabeth is looking forward to that because we will have time to travel.
Now that we have Internet we should be able to post more on the blog, so please continue to read. If you want a specific update post a comment and we will respond.
