Wes' dunk!

Fall is here!!

Hey ya'll! So I have some catching up to do, it's been a little over a week and 3 games since my last post...In basketball news, Spirou played Liege, which was not only his old teammate Eric Poole's team but his old coach Tom Johnson, they won 61-68 Wes had  14 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.. I'm sure it feels good to play good against your old coach... last Wednesday Spirou played at Leuven, where they won 55-64, Wes having 16 points and 10 rebounds!! This past Saturday they played Oosende for the second time this year, winning 82-68, Wes had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.. so Wes is starting off the season great! He's started every game also, so that is nice. :) 

In other news, Stella is doing fantastic! She's now walking on her leg and even rough housing with Bentley...we take her to the vet this week for a check up to make sure everything is ok... 

So i'm sure you've all heard us talk about how wonderful Slingbox is over here, getting to watch american tv shows makes it so much more like home but now it's even better because we've ordered the Sling "Catcher" which I guess is just like being at home, and not having to mess with the computer to channel surf, there's a remote control and you can do everything from the couch, Wes is soooo excited! haha! My mom is sending it out today, so hopefully we'll have it by the end of the week! 

I've always said since I came over here that I would never get my haircut here, nothing against European hairstylist but I don't think I'd be lying if I said their style is completely different from what I'm used to.....well Charlotte has talked me into going to see her hairstylist in Aalst, I'm going on Wednesday, and although i'm kind of nervous, i'm pretty excited too..I think it's time for a change, you all know me!! I can't stand my hair being the same for too long :) 

So I guess that's it for now, I'll let you all know how the haircut and this week's game against Gent goes....Let's hope it all goes good!! Love you guys!

Ps..heard Nebraska was in for some cooler weather, about time, we've been jealous! haaaa!

Stella out of commission :(

Hey everyone, well we've been very busy here lately...lots of news for you all. First off, Spirou won the Supercup game against Oostende in Knokke 74-87, Oostende doesn't seem to have it this year like they did before...then they played an Amsterdam team in a friendly game which they also won 65-57...and just this past Tuesday they played Willebroek in a cup game and won 65-105!! So there have been a lot of games going on...Spirou has their first regular season game tomorrow at home against Liege, which will be a fun game to watch because his former Okapi teammate, Eric Poole now plays for Liege. 

Tuesday I was scheduled to leave for Dublin for 3 days with Tiffany, well at about 9pm on Monday night as Wes and I were sitting down for dinner, we heard Stella screaming in the other room, when we got in there we didn't know what happened, all we know is her and Bentley were in there together...she screamed in pain for a good 10 minutes before we could even begin to figure out what was hurting..turns out it was her leg, she couldn't walk, let alone move! :( We ended up taking her to an emergency vet here in Charleroi where he told us that her leg was broke! He gave her a shot for pain and we took her home..The next day we drove her to our normal vet outside of Brussels, he also said it was broke and needed surgery to put a pin in it right away. She had the surgery and now we're hoping she heals up fast..Bentley hopes so too, he misses his little partner in crime ;) I had to cancel my Dublin trip and reschedule it for November 25th, which seems like a long time away but I can wait till then if it means having plane tickets that only cost 2 cents! Haa! Can't believe how cheap you can fly if you pick the right day! So i'm glad I still get to see Ireland!!

Wes and I also took a trip to Paris last weekend, he didn't have a game on Saturday so we decided to take off for a little time to ourselves.. We stayed in a Hilton hotel where we could see the Eiffel tower out our window, or even just laying in bed!! We had an awesome dinner then went up into the Eiffel Tower, even though this was our 5th time seeing it, it still amazes me! It was definately one of the most fun and relaxing trips we've ever taken.. 

Well i think that's all the news i have for now...hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of fall and of course those HUSKER games!!! (except maybe not the last one) haha! I know i'm enjoying getting full use out of my Ugg boots, and breaking out the sweatshirts!! Gotta love fall! ;) Talk to you all soon!
