Jeff and I are now engaged to be married. We will get married June 1, 2013. I have been coaching for my company that I own - KiK Soccer Training. Things have been going really well in California. I am missing playing soccer so much. I am in the best shape right now and in 2 weeks I will finally have surgery on my knee. Once I recover - I will try to play again :)<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to see everyone in Cloppenburg SOON!<br />

I will be making my trip to Cloppenburg in September. I looked and just couldn't afford to fly in April. The tickets were too expensive. I'm actually happy to be going in September because I can stay a little longer! <div><br /></div><div>Not much is new... I'm still in Virginia and coaching soccer. I have about 2 1/2 months left here before I head back to California.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been trying to put together a BIG camp for June in California but I'm finding it more difficult since I'm not in town. I'm hoping I can figure some things out and still make it happen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Last night I went to a someones house for dinner. When I was living in Germany, these Americans from Virginia came to visit Cloppenburg. That is how I met Jeff. Well, while they were in Clp, I hung out with the parents from the girls team. One of those families had us all over for dinner the other night. It was like a reunion of the people that were in Germany for that week. It was so fun talking about our time at the bistro! :) They put on a slideshow of photos. I started to realize how much I miss Germany and my dear friends. I can't wait until September. </div><div><br /></div><div>For now, I have to focus on coaching my teams! I just wanted to update you and say hi to everyone and let you know how much I miss you guys!</div><div><br /></div><div>- KAT</div><div><br /></div><div>PS...

I am not sure if anyone even reads this anymore. Probably not since I've been so horrible at keeping it updated.<br /><br />Updates:<br /><br />I've been really busy with www.soccerwithkat.com since I got home from Germany.<br />I have been flying back and forth to Virginia to visit with Jeff Dominguez (my boyfriend/former BVC player as well)<br />I started my Rosetta Stone online German Language courses. I want to be able to speak German fluent when I return to visit. I'm hoping to get back to Cloppenburg for a visit within this year.<br />I don't have any other job right now and I'm searching everyday for one because it is very expensive in California and I have no health insurance without a job :(<br />I hurt my knee and haven't been able to do much training.<br /><br />I MISS everyone in Cloppenburg so much. I have been missing my friends, family and 2nd home so much lately. Especially since I started my German courses. Hopefully soon I will be writing most of my updates in Deutsch!<br /><br />MISS EVERYONE and if anyone ever feels like writing to me... I would LOVE to hear from you!<br /><br />:)<br /><br />KatUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-44271566757539256082011-08-15T23:09:00.000-07:002011-08-15T23:13:29.084-07:00UpdateIt has been a while since I last wrote.
<br />
<br />The visit with Hotte and Nadine was amazing. I had so much fun and it was exciting for them to get to see California, my hometown and meet lots of my family and friends. I hope they had as good of a time as I did :)
<br />
<br />I have been coaching everyday all day. I am loving coaching all the time. Things are about to slow down a bit and my coaching will only be in the evenings. The kids went back to school this week.
<br />
<br />I also met someone when I was in Germany and continued to keep in touch with him and well...we've started dating ;) He played for the BVC club before I was there, but he was out with kids for a Euro Soccer Trip. He lives in Virginia, but was out and met my family this past weekend. Great time :)
<br />
<br />I am hoping and thinking I will be getting back to Cloppenburg in March for a visit :) I can't wait to come back and see everyone.
<br />
<br />Miss you all so much!

They are GREAT friends of mine and were so incredibly kind, thoughtful, fun and friendly when I was living in Cloppenburg.<br /><br />Hotte is the goalkeeper/assistant coach for BV Cloppenburg and I had many good laughs with him at practices....many times he hit me really hard with a ball as I was walking away....needless to say, I tried to get him back as well.<br /><br />Nadine is Hottes' lovely girlfriend. She became such a close friend just as Hotte did. Not only did I become friends with the both of them, but their families as well.<br /><br />Just when I was really missing Germany....specifically Cloppenburg, they come to visit. I am so excited to show them around my hometown and surrounding areas of California.<br /><br />Be on the lookout for some amazing photos.<br /><br />I am hoping I will be able to get my trip to Germany planned. I have two potential times...December or March/April sometime. I would like to come so I can cheer on my former teammates as well as all the newcomers to the BVC family.<br /><br />Hope everyone is well and enjoying the World Cup games...(frustrating loss for the US against Sweden....ugh!)<br /><br />-Kat :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-86415836150681782922011-06-28T20:46:00.000-07:002011-06-28T20:54:13.820-07:00Missing my 2nd home!Today has been a rainy day here in my hometown.

I miss it terribly. I still slip up and say things in German to people around town here in Roseville, CA. It is funny...they look at me so weird!<br />I also put a basket on the back of my bike....it is not so common to ride bikes to stores or have a basket on the back of your bike...at least not in my hometown....so I am trying to bring little pieces of Germany to people here :) I love Germany so much it is hard not to.<br />Since I have been home I have been able to visit with most all of my family, enjoy some lovely warm weather and go to Lake Tahoe....just a beautiful place to visit.<br /><br />I was thinking about keeping this updated with how things are going with me here and also I plan on following the BVC damen next season...I will write about it....but only if people let me know if that would be something of interest....otherwise I wont keep posting on here...<br />I thought it would be fun and a way I can keep in touch with people....I truly miss everyone and the town so much.<br /><br />I am hoping to get to back over to visit for a 3 week trip in April or March and see everyone and watch some games of the team!<br /><br />Hope all is well in Germany and everyone is healthy and happy! :)<br /><br />Miss you all lots!<br /><br />KATUnknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-24467681122779252442011-05-19T08:15:00.000-07:002011-05-19T08:18:33.878-07:00Tschuss Deutschland!!!Today is my last day in Germany...tomorrow morning I head to the airport very early in the morning to begin my long day of travel back to my home in the US.<br /><br />I don't know at this moment if I can truly express the way I feel...I have such mixed emotions and I believe it will be easier for me to write my "Thank Yous" to people once I am home and less emotional. I've already cried a couple times today saying goodbye to people.<br /><br />I am not certain on my return to BVC, but that will be officially decided by ME in the next week or two.<br /><br />I wish everyone the best and I will be writing again soon,...once I pull it together :) Ha!<br /><br />- KATUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-2345311474888951612011-05-08T15:48:00.001-07:002011-05-08T16:08:34.738-07:00BLESSED!!!!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Last night and today I celebrated my 28th Birthday here in Germany. I have to say that it was more than I could have ever imagined. I have truly met people here that will be lifelong friends of mine. Whether or not I play in Cloppenburg is undecided as of right now, but I truly believe if I weren't able to return to play next season, I would have friends for life here.<br />I had the best birthday and I just want to thank those special people who were a part of it ...

This was an important game and the team really came together and gave a strong effort to win the game. We beat Gutersloh 2-1 and were so excited to get the Win to secure us for relegation play. Tanja Baumann had her birthday that day and was able to give herself a birthday goal! It was so SUPER! :) Kim Schlosser another teammate finished a great ball. Another teammate who is currently recovering from knee surgery had her birthday that day as well...so it was great for our team and the birthday girls! :)<br /><br />This coming weekend I will not be playing. I am currently injured more after this weekends game. I've had some issues with my foot and it is feeling pretty bad right now. I am thinking with some rest and smart recovery I will be good to play in the relegation games. I am looking forward to watching my teammates this weekend and screaming my head off in their support :)<br /><br /><br />It is getting much easier for me to understand German when I hear people speaking it...I can understand much more than I can speak. Each day I get a little better with the language...at least I think...most of the endings are incorrect, but I get the idea!

We play the Sunday after Easter and then the following Sunday. These are both MUST WINS for us...<br /><br />So everyone send good vibes over to Germany on those days! ;)<br /><br />Not too much has been going on...I was able to go to a school here in Cloppenburg and watch a friend teach her classes. It was a really cool experience to see how a classroom and school is operated in another country.<br /><br />A few differences:<br /><br />- teachers switch rooms<br />- teachers purchase ALL materials with their own money<br />- classes are 45min long<br />- students are really anxious to raise their hands and answer questions<br />- the walls are bare to reduce distractions<br /><br />That's all I can think of right now ... but it was a great experience and a lot of fun :)<br /><br />This whole adventure is coming to an end in about a month. I can't believe how fast time flies.<br /><br />Right now, I am focusing on training everyday during the day, studying German and preparing myself to kick some major butt in our last two games! :)<br /><br />I hope everyone is doing well. I miss everyone so much, but I am loving it here at the same time!<br /><br />- KatUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-73423220599360292602011-04-09T08:59:00.000-07:002011-04-09T09:38:30.631-07:00Visitors to Cloppenburg and Game Day Tomorrow!!!This past week there was a group on a Euro Soccer trip here in Cloppenburg.

There is a lot of history. I have TONS of pictures to share, but I will only post a few for now...We went on a bus tour and got to listen about the history and rebuilding of Berlin. My mom and I went to the checkpoint charlie area and went through the museum.

It was a great experience getting to play with players on a national team from another country! :)<br />My mom had to leave the very next day :( I took her to Bremen and we said our goodbyes...with a few tears...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxirPhSUvlh6ofFEjTMmtWi1b3dm-4fIVm8D3og-WaX1X-9ftCChVHkjmIUJWRdQ1ZyR5oBnZHVN9pXqLkqo4mAvvm2B1o21lAEz48vx6zAZzVKPTYgMNOrAggQMp3s3qLpoZbA2Daz8U/s1600/100_0798.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxirPhSUvlh6ofFEjTMmtWi1b3dm-4fIVm8D3og-WaX1X-9ftCChVHkjmIUJWRdQ1ZyR5oBnZHVN9pXqLkqo4mAvvm2B1o21lAEz48vx6zAZzVKPTYgMNOrAggQMp3s3qLpoZbA2Daz8U/s200/100_0798.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592181459323028866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAwYI_AQ_R2aZrZHbQrmI3QDcSIHdY33zfT52UwgRxY53Nh5DSgkPMg_5Y0aup3MSR44SXO3fThwfuDgfhM77pznv5hHQtrgy1jDt9dNw-92VcpaytthMibx4pectb41EzwLWQkt5Z4I/s1600/100_0800.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAwYI_AQ_R2aZrZHbQrmI3QDcSIHdY33zfT52UwgRxY53Nh5DSgkPMg_5Y0aup3MSR44SXO3fThwfuDgfhM77pznv5hHQtrgy1jDt9dNw-92VcpaytthMibx4pectb41EzwLWQkt5Z4I/s200/100_0800.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592181825001649074" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It was so nice having my mom here in Germany with me for a couple weeks. I'm pretty sure she had a great time and loved Germany a lot :)<br /><br />This week I am focusing on getting rid of this cold, training hard and kicking butt in our game this weekend. We play away against Magdeburg and it is a must win. We will be having a group of fans going with us and I think it will be a great thing for us ...<br /><br />I plan on writing an update after that game...so I hope everyone enjoyed hearing about the past two weeks ;) Wishing everyone well and I will write again soon!!<br /><br />-KatUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-2168634857073286022011-04-05T11:12:00.000-07:002011-04-05T11:49:03.657-07:00Long Time No Post --- Part 1For those of you out there that follow or check in with my blog...my apologies for not keeping it up to date!!!<br /><br />It was a busy past couple of weeks for me.

I woke up this past Sunday morning with a sore throat and it was a little worse on Monday. I'm starting to feel slightly better and have been in bed resting all day. I have a feeling tomorrow will be much better after today's rest! Anywho...so here we go...while I lay here in bed lets see if I can remember most of what I did while my mom was here in Germany!!!<br /><br />My mom got here the day before I played the worst game of my life. I felt really bad that she has to watch me play so poorly ;) Anywho...after the game in the evening we were invited to our goalkeeper coaches' house and got to try all the traditional German foods. We had schnitzel, sausage, kraut, and other stuff that was delicious, but I can't remember the names!! haha! We also had Bavarian custard and ice cream as well as a variety of alcoholic beverages ;)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyphenhyphencFT2IJhOvs-z4dPWsVRtjFDFSvzu3bAajp-HllbTRR1J_Ngkar8ZPfg95UmDgFhMwbH4QlgofxFeDj1weTXOVDw8P_HSJ32LpWbJXc6kH4vGVKrlvmfyH1Q82lxccEkXES29_2MRJw/s1600/100_0357.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyphenhyphencFT2IJhOvs-z4dPWsVRtjFDFSvzu3bAajp-HllbTRR1J_Ngkar8ZPfg95UmDgFhMwbH4QlgofxFeDj1weTXOVDw8P_HSJ32LpWbJXc6kH4vGVKrlvmfyH1Q82lxccEkXES29_2MRJw/s200/100_0357.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166450045852994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Y4f3S4fo-xkHPXEqPm3MqQhiLzPzLoTFI2FKu7MQy_AE79z-JGRd0FBTg24ubyGbSU5UZXm_xCUnayZNAyqHEIGwrEsEixB0lmcbcfjpYcJiaAbBYmszVZp8wK4Auv4FXyITueA9zVM/s1600/100_0364.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Y4f3S4fo-xkHPXEqPm3MqQhiLzPzLoTFI2FKu7MQy_AE79z-JGRd0FBTg24ubyGbSU5UZXm_xCUnayZNAyqHEIGwrEsEixB0lmcbcfjpYcJiaAbBYmszVZp8wK4Auv4FXyITueA9zVM/s200/100_0364.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592166728004567874" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oKSTxD2xincxXXcrbA-P6hPVD75byvLbdLyoTj2K39CKsV0LRe7im8xBNYmqd2NrCewcknT3BKm7Iv6t3T5hqo0gg0tluJiY5hc_c5D7TV3urJita5M8YRG7YWaGkOiyfpeVZJy0yAQ/s1600/100_0369.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oKSTxD2xincxXXcrbA-P6hPVD75byvLbdLyoTj2K39CKsV0LRe7im8xBNYmqd2NrCewcknT3BKm7Iv6t3T5hqo0gg0tluJiY5hc_c5D7TV3urJita5M8YRG7YWaGkOiyfpeVZJy0yAQ/s200/100_0369.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592167048071191906" border="0" /></a><br />Mmmm...what a tasty and delicious evening that was ...<br /><br />For the first few days my mom was here, we mostly relaxed and took in some sights around Cloppenburg.

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.<br /><br /><br />"...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..."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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 :) <br /><br />I believe we are heading to Hamburg tomorrow to check out some things there...I will post pictures soon...<br /><br />I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!!! :) <br /><br />-KatUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-35808480125306890622011-03-17T01:18:00.001-07:002011-03-17T01:18:24.502-07:00Japan<a href="http://s743.photobucket.com/albums/xx71/jenabee4/?action=view&current=japanwithlove.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx71/jenabee4/japanwithlove.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-10346297228316262632011-03-14T08:46:00.000-07:002011-03-14T08:50:44.924-07:00Game Update and studying the language?!?! finally!Well, we suffered our first loss...we will learn from our mistakes and do better next game.<br />The final score was 1-0.<br /><br />I've spent most of the day studying German. I went to the store and got some index cards,<br />erasers, paper and pencils. I have my German books I bought from the US and not an English/Deutsch Dictionary thanks to Hotte.<br /><br />There are some things confusing me...mostly knowing what is Masculine, Feminine or Neuter...<br />Die, Der or Das....AHHHHH!!! It is so difficult...but I like the challenge!<br /><br />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 :)<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing well and I will write again soon.<br /><br />-KatUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559087981506882942.post-41371739369866711642011-03-08T09:29:00.000-08:002011-03-08T09:33:32.680-08:00My MOM is coming to GERMANY!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjareYZtHpJkP1hi7fqrxdcR5dJ0TvIK750KECNcYOqPSu1Ry4_m9a_m1q1mA2osRgs6BoVC2FmCJnhnHSoJIFvmv8noef-oORsQX2MQZ4Bqn0jSS3kxdAgsFQ1O7klLM2nQj2EudQAwWQ/s1600/GataMoma1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjareYZtHpJkP1hi7fqrxdcR5dJ0TvIK750KECNcYOqPSu1Ry4_m9a_m1q1mA2osRgs6BoVC2FmCJnhnHSoJIFvmv8noef-oORsQX2MQZ4Bqn0jSS3kxdAgsFQ1O7klLM2nQj2EudQAwWQ/s320/GataMoma1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581762818327730050" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Momma Brenneman will be here in Cloppenburg in 12 days!!!!</span><br /></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DaNVHN6cSlQsg_wTKarxySEOb_nsU4fzS2HHWuALh6rO-sCMPF8YIBB76hGZUIGDU7igiGkQcOOJaShdfDuUrhi0Ywgb15UX-tPCVeu-VU8dLs8DdQ744v9s557D8GkwYaqm4oEmTvQ/s1600/GataMoma2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DaNVHN6cSlQsg_wTKarxySEOb_nsU4fzS2HHWuALh6rO-sCMPF8YIBB76hGZUIGDU7igiGkQcOOJaShdfDuUrhi0Ywgb15UX-tPCVeu-VU8dLs8DdQ744v9s557D8GkwYaqm4oEmTvQ/s320/GataMoma2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581762997589952178" border="0" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">I'm so excited to see her.

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.<br /><br />I just wanted to point out that we had so many people at the game today!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!
