Frostbit!

Hey all! Well we're having a little issue at our apartment at the moment...we have no heat! Since yesterday our house has been freezing!!! We're trying to keep warm wearing sweatshirts, sweatpants and coats but it's still pretty cold..Bentley has been sportin his sweater for a couple days now...
In basketball news, Spirou beat Galatasaray (Turkey) 64-62 in a ULEB cup game lastnight! It was one of the best games i've ever seen...very exciting! When I got to the game I thought something was weird that there were tons of police with big dogs that had muzzles on, but i thought maybe Charleroi was trying out some new security..then I got inside and witnessed fans fighting and mase being sprayed, there were riot police everywhere, the bigtime riot police too, with the helmets and shields...at first I was freaked out but I guess Turkey is known to have some pretty rowdy fans....I should've known the first game I forget my camera something crazy would happen! Haaa!
Well Wes leaves on Monday for Girona Spain for another ULEB cup game....Spain is really good so we'll see what happens...I was also supposed to be goin to spain but my trip to the coast has been pushed back a little bit until March..turns out the wife I wanted to go with wants to hit up the Canary Islands now, and booking tickets this late would cost a fortune, so I think instead i'm going to go back to Aalst and hang out with all my girlfriends there..we used to always have a night every few weeks where we'd all meet up at this little bar called Cogniac and have belgian hot chocolate and chat for a while so I think we're going to do that, it should be fun!
Alright, well that's all i have for now....hopefully next time I write we'll have heat again!!! :)

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! Well the holidays have come and gone....sadly! Sorry I haven't wrote for a while, things were crazy before Christmas, with basketball, hosting christmas parties and trying to get everything ready to go home...Christmas in Nebraska was absolutely wonderful! Thank you all again who made that possible! The whole 5 days (not including our 2 travel days) went by way too fast, but we enjoyed every second of it! Our New Years back in Belgium was very low key..we were still pretty jetlagged so we decided to stay in and do our own count down with some ice cream and champagne!
As for basketball...it's going ok. Charleroi beat Antwerp right before we came home for Christmas so that was a nice way to start a vacation...they played Oostende lastnight and ended up losing by 3...which was upsetting because they were ahead the entire first half, but the second half of the game it was like a whole different team was playing...don't really know what happened. They have a cup game on Tuesday here in Charleroi against Turkey..then they travel to Liege this weekend...Liege should be interesting considering it's where his coach from last year, Tom Johnson is now coaching. Hopefully they will win! Their next cup game they'll be traveling to Girona Spain...Spain is somewhere I've been dying to go and one of the other wives wants to go there when the guys go for the cup game, only she wants to go to the hot coast and lay on the beach....I brought this up to Wes and he thought it sounded like a good idea so we're in the process of looking up flights :) Hopefully everything works out, I'll let you know!
Other than that things are getting back to normal here...I really should take down our christmas tree but I keep putting it off, I love having it up! I know i'll have to give in sooner or later though...We're really excited for Kevin and Grandma and Grandpa Wilkinson to come out in mid February so I guess that's our next big thing to look forward to...Well that's it for now..Hope everyone had safe and happy holidays! Love you all!!
