Thanksgiving!

Well we had a great Thanksgiving here in Charleroi...all of the American's went over to Wes' teammate Andre Riddick's house where we had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, baked mac n cheese, stuffing and tons more...we brought potatoes, pumpkin pies, and our signature fruit pizza to the feast. Our desserts were a hit! It was a really fun night, ofcoarse we missed everyone back home but having a big American Thanksgiving over here definatley made it easier on us! :)
Wes got home from Turkey on Wednesday where he played another ULEB cup game...he had an awesome game, where he scored 16 points...he shot 4/4 3's, had a dunk, and 2 freethrows..all in all a pretty good game! Then just yesterday he had another great game against Gent..with 25 minutes of playing time and 11 points!
While Wes was in Turkey I got a chance to go to Amsterdam with one of my American friends from Aalst. Elise and I had a blast! We only stayed Monday through Tuesday night but it was still a vacation! It was nice to be in a place where pretty much everyone speaks english..a lot different from Charleroi...
We just got back from a fun day in Gent to see John and Suzanne Turek.. we went to an all you can eat rib joint...which has the best ribs in Europe I think! We were supposed to go to a movie but I guess with how long it took the guys to eat all 52 racks of ribs we missed the movie we wanted to see! LOL!
Well I guess that's all that's going on here for now..I have TONS of french homework to do before tomorrow..yeah, i know..nothing like waiting till the last minute! We are super excited to come back for Christmas..and we are in the process of having the travel agent book a different flight that gives us a longer layover so we don't have a repeat of lastyear... it shouldn't be a problem..we are counting down the days!!
I'll try to get a schedule posted of all of Wes' games soon! He has another ULEB game on Tuesday against Spain so I'll let you all know how that goes.... hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Love you guys!

Spirou vs Okapi....

Hey All!! Well I finally have a little bit more to write about...Tomorrow is the big anticipated Spirou vs Okapi game!!! We've already got emails from Aalst fans saying they are excited for Wes to return to Aalst..even if Okapi gets beat! We are excited to see all our favorite Okapi fans, Wes' old teammates, and I'm especially excited to see all my old girlfriends! We already have dinner plans before the game so it should be lots of fun! Wes has already started traveling for the ULEB Cup games, for those of you who aren't familiar with the ULEB Cup, it's basically a big tournament stretched out till the end of January where different teams from different countries play eachother, these games are watched by people all over the world, and by lots of different NBA coaches..so they are very important games...His first ULEB game was in Serbia, they played a good game but lost by 2. He has another ULEB game coming up on Tuesday night here in Charleroi against Romania..then on the following Monday he'll be traveling to Istanbul Turkey to play there Tuesday night...so there are a lot of ULEB games to come!

Wes also got a very nice surprise when he returned from Serbia...do not ask me why but I thought it would be a good idea to go buy him a Playstation 3 and have it waiting for him when he got home....he has been talking about it for a long time and I really wanted to wait till Christmas but I knew I couldn't because he wanted it SOOO BAD! He was so surprised he said it took his breath away! haaa! That means I did good! ;) So he's been busy playing that...I'm sure I'll regret my decision soon..haaa :)

I decided last week that I wanted to be Wes' true "superfan" so I bought his entire uniform in my size...I have the jersey and shorts, with his name and number on them, ofcoarse..then I put on his head and armbands, and then his socks and shoes and we had a photoshoot...I'll definately post a pic or two from that...it was so much fun, we laughed so hard!!

Well I guess that's all I have for now...I will let everyone know the results from Wes' upcoming games, just incase you can't get them from the website... I'll also post a schedule of all of his games...Hope everyone is great, and getting ready for Thanksgiving! I know i'm going to be sad on Black Friday (mom, Kelly, and Erica!)

Love you all!! Lins
