Trier

Hello Everyone,

Well the past week has been a good one.  Jay's team is doing ok, and they FINALLY got their first win this week in a Cup Game!  Jay had 41 points in the game and a bunch of rebounds (oh and he was 12/13 on the free throws...my mom would be proud!)  Here are some links below you can check out stats and game reviews at....

The last home game (non-Cup game) did not go so well for the Heffingen squad and they lost by about 10 or so points.  Jay had a pretty good game but the team struggled to get him the ball and that resulted in less points on the board.  Jay did come to play and made all his free throws that night!  This Sunday we play Musel Pikes and they are undefeated this season so far...should be a tough game but that is when the Heffingen squad performs best!

As for us we have been doing a little more planning and exploring.  We are headed to Milan, Italy next weekend after Jay's game and going to enjoy a little vacation!  Both of us are very excited...maybe a little bit has to do with the delicious gelato we will be intaking!  Thursday of this week we went to Trier to see what it was all about....this time we ACTUALLY made it there and did not get lost!  

Trier is the oldest city in Germany, dating back to 16 B.C.  It was a gorgeous city that you had to drive down into.  We got to see the Palace and Colosseum and the old churches as well.  The City Centre is cobble stone and beautiful, has obviously been updated to include all the shopping a tourist could possibly want! haha!  We were able to get Jay's birthday present I promised to buy, a NEW coat!  Afterwards we ate at Jay Jay's restaurant in the Square, delicious food.  

The week prior to Jay's birthday I am going to visit our friend Allison who lives in Liege, also where Jay's old teammate Sebastian is from!  I will take the train straight to Liege and it will take only about 2 hours!  I will even be able to be back in time for his game on Saturday and his 27th birthday is the next day!

Another exciting thing is that my parents will be here that next week for about two weeks, so Jay and I will be quite busy this next month!  And we are excited about that!!! Hope everyone is well back home and we will post pictures.  I am also creating a "highlight" tape of Jay's games when I record video on my camera....so look forward to that.

Lots of Love from Luxembourg
Kelsey & J

Ps.  Jay and I got some packages this week from my grandma Montavon.....which was AMAZING!!!  There was 3 tubs of Peanut Butter and we are very excited about that!!  Thanks again grandma!!!

Hi Jay & Kelsey!
Finally getting caught up and reading your blog this morning. Sounds like you two are having a great time. What a great experience!

Glad your folks are coming for a visit. How fun is that...

We were at Andersons yesterday for a lunch with Fr. John. Kymn outdid herself, as usual, with a fantastic meal. Peterson's and us had to rush off for other commitments, but it was nice to see everyone.

Keep up the blog - it is fun to hear about your travels.

Love,
Kris
