Wow! It's been a while since I have been on. Part of the is because we STILL do not have internet. BAH! But hopefully this weekend we will get it. We got our owner to go to the store with us and now we are picking it up on Monday...which means Tuesday or Wednesday. haha

Lets seeeeee, what has happened since I spoke to you last.  We had a home game last Saturday and we won in five! We played a really good team, the number one team in the league in fact, and we won! We found out later that they had 2 girls missing because they are in China playing in the FIVB (which is like the world cup for volleyball), but that was even more of a reason for us to win this match because next time we are going to have our hands full!

Our gym this week was being used for a Dart tournament (what?! haha) So we were all over the place finding different gyms to play in which was exciting because we got to see more of the city we live in.  Mic, our American middle, had a birthday on Friday so we celebrated that by having dinner as a team and we all pitched in a got her a cute shirt she had seen and wanted.  We left for Tenerifi on Friday morning at 5am. Had to wake up at 415 and get our butts to the place we all meet as a team. That was rough.  But the night before Rach and I got a little festive and carved a pumpkin and put a candle inside it and put it on our porch for everyone to see. It made us happy and reminded us of home. :)

We couldn't get into the gym yesterday once we got on the island so we did some cardio and got a good stretch in.  We got to run right by the beach so it was pretty and nice to get out of the hotel.  I was exhausted by the time we went to sleep and I can honestly say it was the FIRST night since being in Spain that I have slept the whole night and it was ah-mazing! Hopefully I can keep that up. When I woke up was right around the time everyone I was chatting with on my phone were going out to party for Halloween weekend. I was only kinddddaaa jealous because they are in the USA but I am on a tropical island doing something I love and getting paid for it! Yay me!

Any ways, we are leaving for our game in about an hour and I am in the lobby writing this! We are playing a good team. They have 3 Americans on their team, which we met earlier today, and it should be a fun match.  It is also being televised all through Spain! Eekk! I am always excited when game days come around.  I will try and get on tomorrow to let you know how we did.
