A New Direction in Life

Hey readers, if there are any, haven't blogged in a while, been busy lately. I've been keeping up with Zumba and being fit. Been spending a lot of time with family and friends and just enjoying the summer weather! This summer has been great and I'm sort of looking forward to going back to work.

During the summer I had received the news from Shrimpy that my contract for my team has been up, and that I'm a free agent, and now I need a new team. It is part of my job, I get that, but it's hard for me to leave Toronto. I was born and raised a proud Torontoian! I have all my family down here, and this is where my husband and I live. I don't want to leave him!

Toronto (where my team practices and is based out of) has not yet offered me a position back on the team. And as my teammates have said, "you'd think they'd want to keep their captain and best player". Well, best player-shut up, I am not, just the smallest. Since I am a free agent, I have now been getting offers from Boston, Pittsburgh (both teams offered me a spot after university), Arizona, and Montreal. Yes, that's close and in Canada, but that's the RIVALRY TEAM! Hell no I'm not playing for them.

This whole experience is putting a strain on my relationship with my husband. We have had several arguements about what we are going to do. Ryan has worked so hard to get to where he is now at work. He wanted a permanent position at a highschool where he could teach both his passions, and also be involved with coaching and being athletic. He finally received his wish a few years ago and I won't let him give all that up and go through the troubles of getting to where he needs to be again.

But he is saying that he wants to go with me and that he'll find a new job. But I'm not stupid, I know how the economy is. I had even suggested for me to just quit since I'm getting up there in age and most teams don't want "old people" on their teams. Tho I'm almost 26! I said that I would be willing to even come home whenever I can and we can try a long distance thing for a season. So we don't know what we're gonna do.

I don't even know where I'll be playing yet! If all goes as I would hope and pray, that I would get a last minute offer to stay with Toronto. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I would really love it if Toronto makes me an offer! There was a reason that I accepted their offer the first time, and I would take it again! Regardless, I am more than ready to get back on the court and continue with this chapter in my life, and see what happens next. Will keep you readers updated,

Britt xoxo
