Sorry For the Delay... It's Been a Busy Week

First off, before I start, I wanna wish my sister a happy 21st birthday!  Tate turned 21 on Tuesday, and celebrated by going out to the bars for the first time...legally.  This week has been pretty hectic, and as you know during hectic weeks time flies.  It all started with the fashion show on Monday.  To see pictures from that, click the link at the bottom of this blog.  They are pretty cool, so check 'em out.  After that, Tuesday brought me two tough practices.  I was pretty sure tough practices were on their way after two league losses in a row, and in all truthfulness we needed them.  We had become a little content, and we needed a fire lit under our respective asses to get going again.  We practiced much harder, and with more intensity this week, and I really think we will be ready to go come Saturday night (our next league game, against Nahariya).  On Wednesday, I went over to Ido's house for dinner with Doron, and Ido's wife (who is a realllllly good cook) made us some real good soup, salad, and chicken schnitzel.  Thursday brought Thanksgiving, and I was fortunate enough to be invited over to Ben's apartment by him and his family to celebrate the holiday with them.  His parents are over here visiting for the first time, and wanted to spend the holiday with him.  They were nice enough to include me in the festivities, and my hat goes off to Ben's parents because (with limited resources) they made one hell of a meal.  Salad, stuffing, potatoes, Chicken (they don't sell turkeys over here) and gravy, along with some unbelievable pumpkin pie made by Ben's mom Sally.  It was a damn good substitute for not being able to be home, and I want to thank them again for including me.  Last night I went to Tal's house for Shabbat dinner (like usual), and this morning we had shootaround for tonight's game, and then after that went with Tal to his little cousin's bar mitzvah party! Mazel Tov (haha, that's all I really could bring to the table with celebratory phrases).  Now I am sittin' at home, relaxin', gettin' ready to take a nap before the game tonight.  Tonight I think I am going to make my first trip to Tel Aviv with some of the guys, so I am pretty excited for that.  I promise to update you by Monday morning on the result of our game tonight... hopefully I get some run.

That's all I got for now, hope all is well back in the states!  16 days until I will be back in the YAY Area!
