March 20th – 26th: Wheaton

Another week gone here in Wheaton. Training has been a rocky road this week with a few niggling injuries popping up. Still able to be productive in various ways. My coaching job has also settled into rhythm which is nice, just still waiting on my first paycheck.

This week, a former team mate of mine from New Zealand joined us in the apartment and training with Bridges. Its been great having a familiar face around and a lot of catching up to do after 5 years since we last played together.

March madness finally IMG_5584meant something to me for once being a Quinnipiac alum. Our Women’s Basketball team took the whole Quinnipiac Community on a great ride all the way to the Sweet 16. It was an incredible and inspiring journey they went on, and I was happy to go along for the ride. They have certainly put Quinnipiac on the map! Unfortunately the journey ended in the Sweet 16, but the standard has now been set and I’m sure it wont be too long until they get there again!

My weekend was filled with Family. My cousin Jeremy was in Chicago visiting his girlfriend and I was lucky enough to head along to dinner with them on Saturday evening. And Sunday afternoon I had lunch with Mum’s cousin and her husband. It was great to see familiar faces and escape from the apartment for awhile. That is just the beginning of my family visits hopefully!
