and so we went back!

We decided earlier this week that it may be fun to head into Trier, Germany for an afternoon/evening on Monday.  Today when we started that little "adventure" we thought maybe we would take a shortcut to get to the highway faster....not so much and we ended up taking the longest way possible to Junglinster (this is where the grocery store is and such) that you could ever take!  At this point we were unsure that we wanted to try and get to Trier, so we headed back into Luxembourg City.  This was a great decision because it was a great afternoon and we were able to see all the stuff we did not get to the last time!  

Jay and I went into two very beautiful churches, one was the St. Michael Church and the other was Notre Dame.  At the Notre Dame we were able to light a candle for all of our loved ones.  This is a gorgeous city and there are many old buildings and castles all over the city, as mentioned before it used to be a fortress.  Jay is great at picture taking so we will post a few of those for you!  We are also hoping to go on a little "vacation" in a couple of weekends somewhere fun, not quite sure where that may be...but Jay is working on the plans.  My mom and dad and their friends will be here in about a month and we are getting really excited to see them!

Before Jay gets on to talk about the game I wanted to be sure to let everyone know that Jay's sister Jillian and her husband John welcomed another beautiful girl into the world on Friday October 10.  Clara Helen Tenwinkel was 8 lbs 11 oz and mom and baby are doing great and both at home!  Grandma Anderson is out there enjoying sometime with Jillian and the family, also helping Hannah become a wonderful big sister I am sure!! Jay is a very proud uncle of THREE nieces now!! :)  Congratulations to John and Jillian Tenwinkel!

Jay's weekly recap:

Hello everyone!!  First of all if you read the blog Kels and I would appreciate some comments... even if you want to say how boring and dorky we are or how funny my uniforms look.  Any thing would be nice just as evidence that people are actually reading this thing.  We would also probably write more if we knew people were reading.  Anyway, things have been good since I last blogged.  Practice went good during the week and we played a game on Sunday.  It was our first road game but the travel here is never too bad.  15 minutes and we were in Ettelbruck to play Etzella.  They were picked to be one of the top teams this season and we were of course pick to finish last.  But we played a great game and personally I played much better.  We were up most of the game but ended up losing in the final seconds.  We were down one and I got fouled with about 20 seconds left in the game.  And...  I missed both free throws and we lose by 3.  Sad, I know.  I have no idea why I am not making free throws but my luck has got to turn around soon.  Even though we lost, the team played well and I didnt do too bad besides the free throws. (32 points and 16 rebounds)  Hopefully we can play well this weekend and get our first win of the season at home.  Shout out to my new niece Clara!!  The name is growing on me and she is pretty cute with those freaky long toes.  Later   -  J
