We are hoping to make this more than just once a week again. Things are pretty good here and we are getting settled. I am liking it here more than I thought I would. Last week I, Kelsey, was able to meet with an American woman who has lived here for 13 years with her Luxembourgish husband. It was really nice to visit with someone from America, she is originally from Ohio. She gave Jay and I a great book called "Living in Luxembourg" that has been helpful to check out all sorts of things. I am also meeting with another lady this week who is from Oregon originally and married to a Luxembourgish man, they have 3 year old twin boys that she may need me to help babysit here and there! (we all know I can handle twins, after all I had the SuperNanny twins!)
Its been fun this past week to check out Jay's games and especially the first regular season game I have seen him play live! Jay will recap this later in the "blog". The game last night was really exciting and there were quite a few people there. Lots of people stay after the game too in the "bar" area, I "stayed" way toooooo long last night and was feeling that in the morning! Apparently it gets even more rowdy when the team wins....not so good for me I think!
Today we were able to catch Jay's parents AND my grandma online on Skype. It was really nice to see all kinds of family today and hopefully more people soon! (our Skype name is: klpetermeier) Mom "A" says still no sign of the new Tenwinkel baby...but by Thursday she should be here or they are going to induce. Exciting for all of us that the baby will FINALLY be here (note: I think Jillian is the MOST ready).
Hey, its Jay... This week was a pretty interesting one. First off we have a small fly problem in our flat and when I say small I mean huge. I have been waking up every morning to the sounds of flies in my ears and face. So I have been killing about 10 flies a day and its become an obsession. Our fly problem may have something to do with the cows and manure just outside our window. Second, I had a mishap with my contact lenses. The new ones I got before I left the states turned out to be the opposite prescription. So I went a few days without being able to see much at all. Practices were interesting this week to say the least. I was able to get a few trial lenses from an optometrists here just a few hours before the game. Even though I was seeing fine, I didn't play too well in the game and the team could have also. The final score was 74-69 and I had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. There were some positives in the game but I feel like I could have done more and shot much better. But there is always next week. Kels and I are heading into Luxembourg the city tomorrow so check back soon for another blog. Hope everyone is doing great!!
