Heeeeey everybody!

Its been a few days so I figured I'd update. I am on my phone because we still have no internet (mildly annoyed at this situation) so I apologize in advance for any errors I make because the writing is super small and its harder to type on this blackberry. Special thanks to mama atherstone for making it possible for me to us my internet on it! Yay! Someone (Nate) did some research and found that ping chat was a way for me to "text" people but it goes through the internet so it doesn't cost money like a normal SMS would. Makes me so happy to be able to talk to him and a few other people I missed terribly. If you wanna download ping chat to your phone my user name is kylie_ann125, find me and we can talk too!

We have had a good week of practice. A few people and the coach have been sick here and there is no doubt I will get it too. People cough and sneeze all over the place without so much as a hand over their mouth! But I am drinking a lot of water and trying to get as much sleep as possible. Speaking of water, I guess it is not good out of the faucett so we have to buy bottled. We have bought and drank at least 18 large waters so far (we use them for practice too) and it is such a waste of plastic! At least we do our part and recycles. :)

We play a team this weekend from another island of the Canary's. I believe its called Tenerife (don't feel like double checking the spelling right now). They have two American girls that are represented by BIP, which is also the agency that the girls on my team are with too. Even though we have never met the girls, when you play against other people that come from USA you always feel a certain bond with them and usually will become friends during the season. Happened in Puerto rico too. Always fun to meet new people and you never know where you will see them or play with them again. Erica, who is a girl I played with in PR and she suggested my name to the coach to come play here as well, has a hurt knee and most likely won't be playing this weekend. Little disappointing bc she is a main attacker and passer, but our sub OH is good as well. We will do just fine I think. Hopefully Erica gets her knee figured out soon though! :)


Anyways, its about 2am here and I slept for 4 hours and now wide awake! Doubt I will sleep again tonight. Bring on the coffee! I am watching Harry Potter 5, but wish I could be watching the Giants game instead. Again, wish I had internet. Grrr. Nate is keeping me posted though! I am hungry and going to find something to eat!

Have a good weekend everyone and ill post again after we kick some booty in our match Saturday!
