Hey everyone! Z and I touched down in Chicago last night around 8 o'clock. It was great to see her parents when we got out of customs and they drove us back to her house. I then headed back up to Milwaukee where I am writing from this minute! All in all, our trip was a success and we are very excited to head back to Qbik. This blog includes many pictures from Zuzu's camera that we did not have a chance to upload earlier in the trip. Enjoy! I will be creating another blog when I return to Qbik April 10, so stay tuned! Then, when Z comes back over (hopefully in August!), we will update this blog again. Happy Easter! Laura... read more

Siw and Bertil made us feel right at home. They had a guest bedroom set up for Laura and I, hot water ready for tea, and a fridge stocked with whatever we could have possibly needed. They showed us around their beautiful home and told us stories about the family and all their travels. Siw and Bertil actually lived in Malaysia for three years so we got to see all the artifacts from their stay there. Having stayed in Africa for a bit as well, they showed us the huge zebra hide they brought back, hanging up in one of their sitting rooms. After our game and a long drive to Trollhattan we were pretty tired, so it didn’t take long to fall asleep. And for the first time on the trip, I slept like a ... read more

Hej everyone! Sorry it has been so long since we have been able to write. After the game yesterday, we went over to Freddy’s apartment and I officially signed with Qbik for the season! Really, I signed for both Z and myself, since we will be somewhat sharing a contract in the fall when she is here. It was really exciting! Z snapped a photo of it- it felt like when I signed to college 5 years ago, except I’m much older and larger. Dennis was a great help as usual as he translated for both Freddy and me (I really must learn Swedish). We then headed south about two hours to Trollhattan with Dennis, Helene, and Eva. We are still in Trollhattan at their house (sadly without Aunt Kathy, who is ironically in the US ... read more

The following blogs have been a work in progress over the past few days as we have had very little internet access... My pictures have been uploaded to this blog, but Zuzu's camera cord is not with us, so we will upload more ASAP! Zuzu wrote the following: Hej everyone! It’s only our fifth day across the ocean yet we’ve been lucky enough to experience so much already! Thursday, the day after our game, was a light practice day. We did some speed ladders, passing drills and shooting. Boyer had to work hard in goal during our shooting because according to Bula the goalie coach, game day was a light day for her! On the way to and from practice we got a quick rundown of the hottest Swedish music compliments of Josephine, our teammate and ... read more

First and foremost- let me say a HUGE thank you to my aunt Kathy and uncle Dennis for everything they have done to make this happen... It’s Wednesday night and we have just returned to our apartment from our first practice game with Qbik. Zuzu scored one goal and had an assist in our 4-1 victory! The goal was a 1 v 1 slot to the left of the keeper and the assist was a beautiful flick with her back to goal to an oncoming midfielder who had a magnificent finish. The team plays a flat back four, so other than the goal the other team scored, I didn’t do much but switch the point of attack with my feet. The opponent’s goal came off of a set kick just outside the arc. She hit iron ... read more
