Fussen

hey all, or to the few who actually read this....
this will be short because i am running out of minutes in this internet cafe and i am trying to type on a german keyboard....and that is no easy task.

right now, i am in fussen, geramany. its a small bavarian town on the austrian border nestled amongst the mountains. it really is beautiful although i have not had much time to explore because we have been on the ice twice a day for the week we have been here. my day is pretty much...eat...skate...sleep...repeat. i know...really exciting.

hockey has been good. got my first point in our second preseason game and the level of play is much more enjoyable to play over last year. it is actually easier to play because most of the guys know what they are doing.

as usual there are some funny stories and some other random stuff, but i do not have that kind of time at this moment. just wanted to let yall know how it was going on this side of the pond.

Golf Plus

Rob left yesterday afternoon, his flight left at 4:15 pm and it landed at 7:30 am in Dusseldorf. I have yet to hear from him, but on the team website it looks as if he got there safe and sound. By the picture, it looks like he is receiving the keys to a new vehicle he might be driving...a Volkswagen Golf Plus...in the article it says that the Autohaus, car dealership that sponsors the team, handed over keys to all the players. If Rob gets to keep the keys, he will love the car because it is a similar size to our Nissan Sentra which he treats like his personal go-cart...so...can't wait to see how he handles this gem on the Autobahn...yikes!

Away We Go

The adventure continues as we will be heading to Krefeld, Germany for another season of hockey. Rob signed a contract two days ago and will be leaving for Krefeld on Sunday...yikes! Luckily, Elizabeth will be in town for another month while Rob is busy with his hectic preseason schedule and trying to get set up in the new pad in Germany. Although, Elizabeth will assume Rob is spending most of his time stretching, purposely leaving sweating clothes on the floor, and eating many times a day only to leave the dishes in the sink. Needless to say, Rob will be on vacation for a month. We will continue to keep you updated on our journey(s) and will be posting more often. Rob requests any and all people who are willing to entertain/TALK to Elizabeth at anytime after his departure to feel free to contact her. This will be a huge step in keeping the sanity of both of us. We guess that's it for now, but for the two readers that read this pass on the word for us!

Camp Firefly

Just got done reading Kirk Cameron's (aka Mike Seaver, The Growing Pains) memoir and wanted to share a bit of his and his wife's ministry with you all. Take a look at the video.

Brighten your day...

with a little laugh!
