BLOG

Guess who's back!? Back to blogging with much to catch up on. Two months of catching up to be exact.

Quick summary? Sure.

Summer in Connecticut 

After I left Denmark in June, I decided to play for the New England Mutiny while I was home for the summer. That turned out to be exactly what I needed. Training close to home, a few games and a reminder of what American soccer was like.

Single digits. Anyone who has been away from home for an extended amount of time knows that the words "single digits" have several meanings.

1. It means you are really close to going home

2. It means you are going to have to leave behind people and a place that, regardless if you loved it or hated it, changed your life forever.

3. And time goes by.... so slowly.

Let me begin by saying that despite popular belief, the sun does come out in Denmark. Since the creation of the sun in Denmark in May of 2012, life has changed and my opinion of Life in this Northern Town has changed.

People are coming out of their winter hibernation (which is very noticeable because of the blindingly white Danish skin), the trees and flowers are in full bloom and the cats no longer need my shelter from the weather. (cannot express how used I feel)

Pretty much every day here in Denmark, I find myself learning something new. Today I learned that even though it's May and it still feels like February, it's normal to go to amusement parks.

Yeah, that wouldn't really happen back home. It wouldn't be too... what's the word... amusing.

So, we had a team outing at a place somewhat like Six Flags... but it was closer to Three Flags, and in weather that was similar to a wind storm in November.
