...on the road again


After hours of "thinking about it", we are heading to Milwaukee, WI this afternoon! I don't have much time to blog cuz I gotta finish getting ready but wanted to keep you in the loop ;) Adam's friend Jimmy Sharrow lives there and he wanted us to go up for the weekend. At first, we thought it was a 4hrs drive, then we heard it was 8hrs drive, then 5hrs... Holy confusion!!! I guess we will only find out how long it takes to get there once we arrive! I will let you know who was right. It will surely be part fun and part travel. Have a good one y'all!!!

Good Times!

Labor day weekend has come and gone and it felt like 4 hours...it went by much too quickly! It was one of those great weekends, the kind you just feel so happy and content with. Saturday, we had a BBQ at the Healy's for the players who were in town. Sunday, we swam and lazed by the pool to enjoy the last few days of summer. Then we were invited to Linda & Freddy Modin's house for a pizza dinner. The Modin's are from Sundsvall, Sweden. They have two beautiful kids, Jesper & Ida. It was fun to get to know some of the more experienced players on the team and listen to years and years of hockey stories.


Monday, Adam returned to intense training at the rink and I had a "watch-Hurricane-Gustav day". We feared for Darlene's parents house. Even though her family had evacuated, she was very concerned for her hometown. Thoughts & prayers to them! Tuesday night we went to dinner with Kelsey, Gilbert and the Tollefsens'. We caught up over dinner at Hyde Park. We laughed so much, my stomach was sore haha... On the way home, Adam and I talked about how we have wonderful friends!


Yay!! For the first time in three years, Adam doesn't need to participate in the NHL Prospects Tournament (September 13-17) in Traverse City, Michigan. He's real happy about that!! Adam starts training camp on September 19th. It will be a super tough few weeks for him. I will send him all my good vibes and energy during that period. :)
