Hey!

It has been a while since I have given you guys an update so I thought I would.  We are in between practices and I just finished watching the newest episode of Glee on sidereel (it is a LIFESAVER) and have nothing to do until the next practice at 5.  Rachael finally caught the bug that has been going around and has been sick the last few days. As bad as we both felt/feel when we were sick, I think that the few days off from practice really helped my body recover. Double days all week long get tiring.

We are currently 3-3 in season.  The teams we have played have been good but in this last match everyone did not play their best. We could have done a lot better and hopefully we will learn from that match and gear up for this weekend at home.

This last weekend also was the yearly Benidorm Fiesta (each city has their own).  I have no clue what they are celebrating all I know is that they give little kids WAY to many firecrackers and they have music and dancing and noise all night long. And it's not just a weekend thing, it was like last Thursday until today! I am all for a good party but come on....the Market has been closed for 5 days and I am outta food!  Okay I am done ranting, just had to put it all out there. I guess there is another fiesta type of thing in February that people dress up for and stuff, which will be fun. I swear these people have more holidays than any other country.

It is now 32 days until I come home. Suuuper excited. I got my flights taken care of and also Nate's (thanks dad!!),who is coming to visit for a few days in AZ before he goes back to Healdsburg to celebrate Christmas with his family.

It is getting colder here but I really don't mind it,  regardless of me being used to Puerto Rican, Arizona, and SLO weather.  It is nice to bundle up and watch movies at night with Rach.  We have nothing really planned for Thanksgiving yet but we are going to cook food and hang out just us 4 Americans and focus on winning out our matches before our mini vaca.

Hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving with their families and don't forget how very fortunate you are to be around them. :)
