Dallas Cowboys in Belgium

People who know my family know that Football rules the television in the Fall. Not being a big American football fan myself, I don't really look forward to the games. Now the atmosphere is fun. The friends and family all gathering around and screaming at the television. That's fun. But without all of that, football is quite a waste of a Sunday afternoon in my opinion.

SO, moving to Belgium I figured I was getting away from crazy football afternoons. But oh no. Jonathan has cards up his sleeve to guarantee that he gets to watch the game.
He even has a few different options if one of the options isn't streaming well. And since we have the cords to show the computer on our flatscreen, it almost feels like home...
EXCEPT we aren't at home and there aren't 20 guys screaming at the TV in our living room.
Today wasn't as bad since Courtney is still here and Christophe came over and so that's 3 people yelling at the TV. But future Cowboy games might be more sad than exciting.

On another note, Courtney and I finished unpacking all the suitcases I brought over. All 8 of them and all the carry ons. We organized Lyric's room which is also the play room with everyone's toys and clothes. The only thing in Shiloh's room are his PJ's. His room is already a small room, but then we left up the queen size bed in there since my parent's will be here soon, so there wasn't any room to put dressers or toys or really anything besides his crib and changing table. But PJ's are a must in his room due to his tendency to pee out of his diaper in the middle of the night.

The next big thing I want to tackle is trying to organize the kitchen a little better. We also have a to do list a mile long of little things that both Jon and I need to do.

So Courtney leaves tomorrow morning bright and early. She has to be at the airport by 5:30am and since I'm not familiar with this place nor do I know how to drive a stick shift (not for lack of teaching by Abby) Jon will be taking her in the morning. At least we don't have to have a tearful goodbye at the airport. I'll wake up with her tomorrow morning, but I'm hoping the morning tiredness will keep us both from crying. She started to cry tonight while we were eating dinner, but I made her stop :-) It's seemed to natural to be here, but I know most of that has to do with the fact that my sister and closest friend is here. I don't like to think of the hole that is going to be in my life without her constant presence.
BUT thanks to Skype, Twitter and Facebook it will ALMOST feel like we are together. And Twitter DM has replaced my text messaging with my friends since most of my friend's phones are set up that if I DM them they get it as a text message and when my phone here is set up (sometime this week), it will be the same way for me. Got to love how technology makes the world smaller!

Who am I kidding. This is going to suck.
