The Weekend Recap

-
Hey there!
If you read my past posts, you probably know how excited I was for Darko's home games these past weekend.. The games were on Saturday and Sunday. I literally woke up around 9 am (and I don't wake up before 11 or 12) on Saturday to start getting ready.
Games were really fun and stressful. The first game on Saturday, Osaka  (Darko's team) were up the entire game. At one point they were up by 20 points, so I thought "Oh, this is going to be an easy win". I guess I was wrong. They went in over time and lost by few points. It was unbelievable. They really deserved to get that win. Well, on Sunday they came back and won. It was really a good game. The gym was almost full, and the fans really enjoyed the game.

I get so stressed during the game, I can't take pictures. :)

After the Sunday game we went with Darko's teammate to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. How I love the place! They have amazing food! I could eat those chicken wings and quesadillas every day!


Hard Rock love 
We also got our new ride few days ago. And... It's a BIKE! Cool, nice, white bike! I was soooo excited when I took my first ride to the store. I was smiling to everybody, the breeze was hitting my face.. It was like a sat on the bike for the first time ever.


It also has a basket to put our groceries in it. :) I never thought I would enjoy riding bike so much. It's the little things I guess.
Since, we move a lot I really wanted to meet some new people. I was talking to one of my really good friends, and he introduced me to the Couchsurfing website. I don't know if you know of the website, but when people travel to your city you can offer them to stay for a night, two or more at your place. Also, when you travel you can find people who would let you stay at their places. There is no must you can let somebody sleep at your place, but rather go for a coffee or some sightseeing with them while they are in your town. You also get to choose who are you going to host. It looked pretty interesting to me. Sooo.. Next month we are hosting our first couchsurfing friends, and it's a Swedish couple. They seem pretty nice, and we can't wait to meet them. It's always fun to make some new friends.
Do you have any experiences with Couchsurfing?

I made facebook page for this blog, so if you want to follow it, please do it. :) It's the last page on the top, or you can just go here Life On The Road Facebook Page.

How was your weekend?
Have a great week!

Adaptation to preschool

    This post is a little bit different than the others, but I felt the need to write it. I would love to hear thoughts, experiences and opinions on this topic. Nina started preschool about a month and half ago, but she only went for three full weeks. There were Christmas holidays, then Serbian Christmas, so she missed few weeks.    Adaptation is not going so well. And, we are on the edge of quiting. She cries every single morning when she wakes up. Last couple of days she cried the entire time she was in the preschool. The big difficulty is that she is going to Czech preschool, and she is not speaking Czech language. She doesn't understand teachers or kids.    She is really young, so she will learn  the language  fast. And, Czech has some similarity to Serbian language. But, what if she really struggles during her time over there. The more I read on this subject, the more I am confused. :)   The one thing, that I read the most, is t...

Choose to be happy

 Recently, my mom passed away. It happened all too fast, we are still recovering from it. We weren't ready for it. I know people say you are never ready for someone to leave, but we weren't ready at all. When you lose mom, you feel like an orphan. It doesn't matter how old you are, mom is someone who is suppose to be there always. And, my mom was always there. She was always at our apartment. Waiting for us. It doesn't matter where we would go, and how long we would stay, she would be there. She was the happiest when we were at home. She had a great sense of humor. She would make jokes, and she had this contagious laugh. You had to smile, even if you didn't want to. And, I never told her that I love her. I hope she knew that.  After she passed away, I felt huge guilt because I wasn't the best daughter (or I think so).  We would get into the arguments almost about everything. I wasn't very patient with her, and I didn't take her illness into the consid...
