...................

At the moment, I can't think of a good title for this post.

I have had a rough couple of weeks on the soccer pitch. I am working on some things to get back into the swing of things and I'm looking forward to this weekend to get on the field and make it happen.


"...if you don't succeed, you can dust yourself off and try again...even if others don't believe in you....believe in yourself and prove them wrong..."

This week has been good...I have had my mom here visiting me and I'm loving it so much! Sometimes you just need your mother and I'm glad she is here right now.

Yesterday we went to an open air museum here in Cloppenburg and saw the old buildings. It was pretty cool to see the windmills and the way people slept and lived. I also took my mom to the sauna and had a relaxing day. She really enjoyed that :) Momma Brenneman bought me a new pillow and I had the best sleep ever since being here last night ... love you mom!!! hahaha!

Today we woke up early and mom rode my bike behind me while I ran on the trail...Now we will just walk around Cloppenburg and shop a bit and check out the church in town :)

I believe we are heading to Hamburg tomorrow to check out some things there...I will post pictures soon...

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!!! :)

Game Update and studying the language?!?! finally!

Well, we suffered our first loss...we will learn from our mistakes and do better next game.
The final score was 1-0.

I've spent most of the day studying German. I went to the store and got some index cards,
erasers, paper and pencils. I have my German books I bought from the US and not an English/Deutsch Dictionary thanks to Hotte.

There are some things confusing me...mostly knowing what is Masculine, Feminine or Neuter...
Die, Der or Das....AHHHHH!!! It is so difficult...but I like the challenge!

My mom will be here in 5 days and that is really exciting. She will also get to see me play this Sunday. I'm so incredibly stoked about that :)

Hope everyone is doing well and I will write again soon.

My MOM is coming to GERMANY!!!

Momma Brenneman will be here in Cloppenburg in 12 days!!!!

I'm so excited to see her. I love her so much :)

I'm looking forward to showing her around town, introducing her to everyone, having her see me play some soccer and doing a little bit of traveling with her. We are going to have so much fun!

Game Update!!!

Well....we tied 0-0 today against Oldesloe.

At least we got 1 point today.

We had a lot of opportunities in the 1st half and just couldn't put them away, myself included.

I got hit pretty hard at one point and really hit my head. I have a really big headache, but my neck hurts the most. I'm looking forward to a good nights sleep and some rest tomorrow.

I just wanted to point out that we had so many people at the game today!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT BVC FANS.
