OHD...

Hey everyone! Well today is an "OHD" which I made up but means Official Homesick Day.. It's crazy, sometimes they're few and far between, some you can see coming and some just hit you like a brick wall. It all started with waking up from a bad dream this morning.. those can always put a damper on your morning but in this case the sad vibes followed me into the day. Poor Wes had to try extra hard to cheer me up.. love him for that :) It's crazy because we have almost everything we want now, but when you don't have internet or means of communicating with the people you love without walking to a McDonald's everyday it starts to wear on you. Not that I don't love walking here and ordering my cappucino or Coke light, but I miss the long phone conversations with my mom, dad and brother and my webcam sessions with my sister, Pierce and Paige. I miss having those never ending chains of back and forth emails with all of Wes' sisters :( Ok enough, you guys get it, i'm a little homesick.

We tried to get our internet set up yesterday, along with our new French bank account, and let me tell you, nothing is really easy. After sitting at the bank for what felt like eternity, we walked to the internet shop where they told us that because we live up in the hills of Le Havre that our connection would probably be very slow.. Wes had to leave to practice so I met up with the secretary of the team, Sarah.. (who is amazing by the way!) She worked overtime and took me to another internet place and we tried again.. turns out we need to know the name of the previous person who lived in our apartment because they can't activate anything without knowing that....why? No idea. So now we are on a wild goose chase to find out more details.. hopefully we'll get it figured out, and once we do, supposedly it will only take 10 days to get someone to come hook it up. Sounds like a long time but we've learned never to expect anything fast.

On a happy note, Wes has another tournament (preseason is full of 'em) this weekend but it's only 40 minutes away in Rouen France, which means I can go to both games! :) That makes me so excited, I feel like i'm in basketball withdrawl.. I've seen one game since Wes played in summer ball. So this weekend will be good! I also found out yesterday that soon they will be playing Aalst, which is the first Belgian team that Wes played for his rookie year. That should be fun to see a familiar face or two..

Well, I should probably get to the grocery store to grab a few things for dinner.. I brought my new recipe box to France full of all the yummy recipes my family and friends gave me.. Being able to cook has been awesome! :) I told Wes it's going to be awhile before I want to go out to a restaurant again. Unless it's for a date night! I love those!! :)

Hope everyone is doing good! Talk to ya'll soon! XO
