Countdown to Germany

My favorite country in Europe. Germany, home of great beer, weinerschnitzel, and DoDS Highschool basketball championships.

My wife is the coach for the Aviano girls team, currently undefeated and wrecking everything in sight. They've mercy ruled every team they've played. There isn't a player or parent from the other team who stepped inside the gym knowing they wouldn't get their butts kicked up and down the court. It was brutal watching those other teams get routed so quickly. It was awesome watching my wife do her coaching thing.

So here I sit with her parents as we wait to depart for the Rhineland. Normally I would be excited to go to Germany for any reason. Knowing that it's the last time I will see her coaching her girls makes me sad but the thought of her bringing home a championship has me amped up. Give em hell baby, I'll be cheering you from the stands.
