MARIBOR!!!





So I am back in Slovenia loving every second of this experience! Seeing my family was amazing, and I already miss them so much! This time coming to Slovenia was so much easier knowing what I was getting myself into! The second weekend being back in Slovenia, we had the big Slovenian Cup Championships! We had made it to the top 4 before Christmas break, and so they had the Semi-Finals and Finals when we all got back. It was a really exciting weekend! We got to host the tournament, and my goodness, I think everyone in Kamnik came to the games. It was great! We beat Nova Gorice in the Semi's and then we played Maribor in the Finals. Maribor is #1 and we are #2. It was the most intense game I have ever played in. They showed it on TV all over Slovenia, so it was quite a big deal for Slovenia. We ended up losing in 4 super close games, but it was such an amazing game and atmosphere! We are now entering the second half of our Season, my goodness, I am not used to a 9 month Season! I am glad they gave us Christmas Break off because my body would have fallen apart if not! We now play only teams from Slovenia, and so we will get to play Maribor a few more times, which I am very excited about! Here are some pictures from the Slovenian Cup Championships.
