A New Chapter and A New Country

At the moment I am currently sitting in my hotel room full of emotions. You see to weeks ago I was back home, enjoying summer in Central Oregon planning on heading back to Chiropractic School, content and happy with my soccer experience in Europe. I had given it my best shot, well God really has no intention of making things predictable, becuase just over a week ago I recieved an email from an agent I had been in contact with in Germany. He said he had a professional Opportunity for me in Estonia (now if you are like me I had to google that.......haha......it is actually just south of Finland in Northeastern Europe). They play in the Meistrleague in Estonia, the top professional league there. And the offer on the table if I could be there within a week was a flat and living expenses covered and 400-500 euro a month to start, with 1000-2000 euro a month possible later on if I make a serious impact. So as a result I am sitting in my hotel in Frankfurt Germany, full of excitement, full of nerves and full of wonder of what is to come. It is all on me now.......will I play well enough to earn the spot on the team and the contract on the table and officially start my professional soccer career? I truly thank God that I even have this opportunity in front of me, I would never have dreamed of soccer taking me where it has. I will find out soon enough as I am going to be flying to Tartu, Estonia in the morning set to begin training on Monday!!! I will keep you all posted.
