Rusty had a home volleyball match on December 28th. When I saw the schedule at the beginning of the season, I was bummed there was a match just 3 days after Christmas...there would be no going home for us, and maybe not even much traveling. In Finland we had two weeks off and were able to go home, which now seems crazy, but this year's schedule actually ended up working out perfectly because Russ and Susie were finally able to watch Rusty play in a professional match!
While French fans are no rivals to Greek fans (shirts off, body paint, lit flares in hand), Russ and Susie did get to experience the drums and chanting of the "Blue Eagles" and the post match "VIP party". The VIP party is basically just free snacks and drinks for the players, their family and friends, and supporters of the club. All the teams in France put one on after every home match. As long as they have desserts, which they usually do, I'm happy ;)
It was so great to be able to show Russ and Susie around our temporary home. They even went into parent mode and hung three paintings we had been meaning to hang on our walls for months! My friend surprised me with them because I had mentioned I needed stuff for the walls. How nice is that?! We don't have a hammer, so they improvised by using a pot haha. Finally our walls aren't bare!
