The Road

Well in the past 2 weeks, I have traveled from one hemisphere to another, over 13,000 miles by air, as well as 3000 miles by car! I am in Cleveland, Ohio living in a cute little town called Chagrin Falls which could also be described as Mayberry. Everyone knows everyone and their mom. It is a quiet little town for 8 months of the year and for most, they like it that way. However, for 4 months of the year, soccer players from all over the United States, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, etc invade this small little town and turn it upside down by sparking life and excitement into the town. The people of this quaint little town try and figure out what is going on but by the time they do, the players are gone to their respective countries and things go back to normal... only to be upset again the following year!

This is the Cleveland City Stars at its best! 

If you ever come to Cleveland, there are certain things you have to experience.
5) Lebron James. He is stupidly good. Sometimes its not fair.
4) They make some mean Panini's!
3) A Cleveland City Stars Game!
2) Dana McGregor (Cleveland City Shake, Palm Sunday, as well as the Cleveland Rocks!)
1) The Steinhilber's House!

I have been here for about 4 days now and my body doesn't know which time zone it is on. However, Life is great and I am excited about being a part of this team and experiencing life on a team again as well as what God has planned for this summer! Since I now have unlimited internet access and don't have to worry about how much internet I have used, I will be writing much more frequently! I will not be talking about the soccer aspect aside from wins and draws (no losses!). I will be blogging about the different things that happen over the season on a team level as well as a personal/spiritual level! So if you would like, stay tuned...
