The long awaited, contemplated, procrastinated, first blog...

Well, a lot to write about since I first considered writing a blog, so I'm going to try and keep it short and summarize a few things. I've been in Switzerland for 5 months now. I've traveled around Switzerland because of basketball, I've been to Italy several times and Germany by accident, played 15 games of a 22 game season, visited friends who play volleyball on the French side of Switzerland, had my little sister and childhood best friend visit, bought my first scarf, said a prayer at the Duomo in Milano, learned conversational Italian, coached little kids ages 7-12, met up with some college friends from SCU, gave my nephew a few workout pointers via skype, created a list of new years resolutions and have kept up with 9 of the 12 'em. To family and friends, I think about you often and although I don't always show it with an email or call here and there, know that I do and I miss you a lot. Since you guys are not here with me I thought this might be a great way to share my experiences with you. I hope you enjoy reading. Love
