I'm rather new at this. I had always thought of making a blog but I never had anything to write about. I mean does anyone even blog anymore? I feel like blogging was so 90's/early 2000's....Oh well.
Anyways, as of like 3-4 days ago my life became rather exciting when Mike and I broke the news to our families that we would be moving to Spain because he's going to play pro-basketball there. Because of all this hoopla I feel as if my life is worthy of a blog now. So this is basically meant for anyone who wants to be nosy (I always thought nosy was spelled 'nosey'? Apparently not. I must have missed that day in English class.) and read about our journey to Spain. Just kidding guys, I really just thought it'd be cool to share most any and everything having to do with us moving to Spain.
In case anybody wants the deets, you can get them here hot off the press!
So Mike received an email about a week ago *insert lyrics by Bobby Shmurda and Shmoney dance here* from a scout in Spain (Is it just me or is scout a funny word?). The scout - I apologize for not knowing his name, I've seen it in the email but it's some overly difficult name that I'm not even going to try to remember - had emailed Mike saying that they've actually been trying to get a hold of him for the past 6 months, but they couldn't get through by phone so that's why he was receiving an email (Which they could have tried earlier, maybe like 2 months earlier that way we would have never moved back to San Diego after the summer and went straight to Spain in the first place! I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin). Right when Mike received the email he realized he had an international call block on his cell phone, so he got that removed and then called the scout. In lesser words the scout told him that he and the team he represents has had their eye on Mike ever since he was at Impact Academy they just wanted him to get some college education and basketball experience under his belt first before they made a move. They told him that they want him to come to Spain, go through a 9 month program that will teach him all the European basketball rules, and at the end of those 9 months he gets his contract. One thing that Mike had made sure to ask was if I was allowed to come with him because he wasn't going to go if I wasn't allowed to be there (Awwwhhh, I know he's so sweet). They said "Of course! There are plenty of other players there with their girlfriends/fiances/wives/families." Obviously when Mike got off the phone we were both extremely excited. We wanted to tell everyone, but decided to hold it in and surprise everyone at Mike's dad's birthday party this past Sunday. We actually wanted to fool everyone into thinking we were either getting married or I was pregnant just to throw them off, and I think it worked for the most part until we finally told the truth at the end of the announcement.
So for now we're just posted in Vegas until November 1st, which is when we leave. I mean we do need to go back to San Diego and pack up all of our stuff in our apartment, but that probably won't happen for another week or so.
I'll post again soon with more updates!
xx - Amanda!
