Lacrosse

WordPress gives “blog stats” and one of the recent things that I found was someone search for “brittany’s blog austria” on a search engine to find my blog.  I think that is awesome.  Of course, I tried searching that phrase and my blog does appear (although it is not the first website).

More exciting news: I might see the first bit of snow this week!

And finally, I am on the Austria National Lacrosse team.  I also played in the Austria Lacrosse League championship games for the Vienna Cherokees.  We won against the Vienna Monarchs, but lost against Graz.  The national team is mostly from the Cherokees, with a few players from the Monarchs and Graz.

My first two games as a national lax player were last weekend  in Munich.  We won one game (against Munich), but we lost the second game.  I scored three goals and caught two interceptions in these games!  On Saturday, we play another game in Vienna.  We also have a lacrosse party on Friday (the day before the game …poor planning).

Also, if I thought it was tough being in NC during the NL championship and World series last year, it is much worse this year. (And yes, last year I had to fight to get volleyball off the TV to watch the 2nd to last World Series game). The games happen while I am sleeping!  I could completely alter my sleep schedule, but I don’t think that would be a good idea.  So, please everyone cheer for the Phils!
