Ahoj! 🇸🇰

Feb 11, 2022

I’m backkkkkkkk😅 I know I disappeared for a while, but a lot has been going on so let’s catch up!😊

First Things First 🇹🇷 → 🇸🇰

I left Turkey and am currently playing the second half of the season in Slovakia. This has been a transition, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue to play and experience another new country🇸🇰! I’ve only been here 2–3 weeks, but loving it already. The people are very sweet and sooo many people speak English (thank God😂). The culture is easy-going and the food is surprisingly REALLY good. Since it’s the middle of the winter, it’s colder than a Texas-girl is used too🥶 But the first thing I bought when I got here was a pair of boots, so now i’m good to stomp around in the snow lol I even went on a mini-hike!

Hoops ⛹🏾‍♀️

The beautiful thing about the game of basketball is that it’s universal. You go anywhere in the world and pick up a ball and you automatically speak a common language🏀 It has been an adjustment, but I really like playing here and the respect for the game. I also really enjoy my team and coaches, anddddddddd… *get ready*

THERE’S ANOTHER AMERICAN HERE🤯

Her name is Lala and she’s awesome☺️ It’s been a huge blessing to have someone else here that I can relate to, hangout with, share this new experience, and most of all talk about Christ with🙌🏾 Both of us really appreciate and recognize that it’s truly amazing how God works, and that nothing happens by chance🙏🏾We actually played against each other in Turkey and now we’re teammates in Slovakia (a whole other story lol)!

New Things ✨

With a new environment comes new experiences! The Club took us to a hockey game, which was so much fun (I’m now a hockey fan😄). The game was super fast, and I was asking a million questions because I knew next to nothing about it🤦🏾‍♀️ The team got us box seats and even let us take pictures on the ice ⛸

It was freezing in the arena🥶

Since it’s so cold now I’ve added several things to my daily routine, including 1. Always having a beanie on and 2. Becoming a coffee drinker☕️ I wasn’t huge on coffee before coming overseas, but since being in Turkey and coffee being a huge part of their culture, I can now same I’m a regular. I have at least one cup a day and I even bought myself a grinder and a French Press. I was so excited to get the French Press that I forgot to buy the coffee beans before I got home. So I woke up the next morning a tad disappointed to say the least #DelayedGratification ?😂

Usually we have two workouts a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, so the middle of my days are very open. With that time i’ve tried my best to be productive and find new things to do, including…. TikTok💀 Check me out @lambo15_ (don’t judge my dance moves…or lack thereof😅)

Wrap Up

This is just a little overview of what I’ve been up to for the past 2.5 months. As always thank y’all for rocking with me! Sorry I went MIA, but i’m back now😊

Like, leave a comment, and share with others! Let me know what else y’all want to see/hear/know while I’m out here, I’m all ears.

All love❤️
