Embrace Yourself Today

At first I thought it was funny, now I think it is serious....One day I am going to wake up with a black eye, a broken arm, or no teeth. What am I talking about? Oh I'll tell ya what I'm talking about; I am talking about sleeping next to athletes particularly basketball players! Just after Josh and I were married we were laying downstairs watching a movie. He fell asleep and I was dosing in and out when all of a sudden Josh brings up his arms and SHOOTS A BASKETBALL....IN HIS SLEEP! It must have been a 3..On the follow through he woke himself up and realized what he just did...his response, "Don't say A word D...I know"...and back to sleep he went. I laughed for a while at that. A few weeks later after reuniting in France (we were separated from each other for about a month) we fell asleep locked in one another's arms. I was awaken by and elbow to the face..I mean a HARD elbow to the face, I yelped and Josh woke up...his response, "babe I'm sorry, I w...

If you know Josh or me...or both of us you know we love debating. Maybe it’s our drive to always want to be right....maybe it’s our competitive nature....but we love to debate (not only with each other...but anyone!) We have two debates right now...one of which many of you are familiar: The GREAT toilet paper debate (in France the GREAT debate du papi de toilet). First of all let me begin by saying...3-4 squares per use is NOT a lot for a woman....HOWEVER in Europe (because everything is smaller) we seem to roll through TP. So recently that has been a fun debate in the house....pretty sure for my birthday next month I will be getting toilet paper :) lol from my husband Second debate (YOUR INPUT WOULD BE GREAT) COFFEE VS. TEA For the past 3 years Josh has lovingly hounded me about my "coffee intake" because he is concerned for my health. Now by reading that sentence you are probably assuming I drink 4-8 cups of coffee a day....well you would be wrong, try one cup a day if not...

So after talking with my husband's agent, and another "bbal wife" I have decided to make a new blog that is dedicated just to overseas basketball players, their wives and the funny things that they do (acts of ignorance), things that people say (that are interpreted the wrong way) and experiences of living abroad. I cannot resist...I have heard too many hilarious stories that must be shared. Also I think it would be great for the players and wives to realize that they are not "the only ones" feeling, thinking or experiencing certain things. However, I want you guys to be a part of this blog too. Ithink it will make for good laughs! I also think that it could help break down cultural barriers, help with missunderstandings, and bring light to certain stereotypes forced upon certain people groups/cultures/and ways of life. This blog site is under construction right now and will be slow moving. I want to begin by contacting as many players/wives as possible for stor...
