Hey,
so i have been crazy busy these last few weeks with meetings, practices, running, games and visitors so i have not had much time to sit down and let you know whats up so here is a sum up of it all...
My club here in France has been putting a lot of pressure on me these last 3 weeks because they want me to re-sign with them next season, they told me last week (after separate meetings with the gm, president and coach) that i had a week to decide if i was staying in Cannes next season. For me i think thats a little crazy because we (at that point) still had 5 games left with the next game being against the 1st place team. We still have a chance to move up but we need to win every game and also win the next game by 6 or more points.


Practices leading up to the "game of the season" have been crazy. Handball monday, work out tuesday morning and running tuesday night, running wednesday night, workout and practice thursday, 2 practices on friday and a practice and a game on saturday!!! Although i was dead by saturday it seemed to pay off because we played the 1st place team and were up 17-13 at half time and won the game 35-27. This was a very important game to win, and because of this win we are now tied for second place so if both teams go on to win the rest of their games then we end up being tied for first at the end of the season, and because we beat them by 8 and they only beat us by 6 then we automatically move to first and that means we move up to D2. There are still 4 more games to go and that includes playing (the now) 1st place team away, so the season is not finished but we are one step closer. I also had an average of about 50% in my game on saturday saving 24 shots (the other goalie took some 7m penalties).


Tord and i also had 2 friends come and visit us for 4 days from Norway so that made our busy week even more crazy but it was a lot of fun and in 2 weeks Alexis Krook comes to visit so i am very excited for that :)


After thursday my team has 4 days off for easter break so i hope it will be nice enough that i can spend most of it on the beach. Tord leaves this week to go back to norway for a week so things will really clam down for me.


I hope everything is good at home and everybody is getting ready for nationals :)
Bisous
