Check out an article about Dan's team and how they are the masters of the three point shot! Very cool. Need a translation, click HERE.

Who knew being married to a European would finally pay off?! Well, we always hoped it would and now it's finally official. Dan is officially regarded as a "bosman" in Spain! A bosman is basically any player that is married to a European or has dual citizenship. So thank you, mom and dad for giving birth to me in Poland. And yes, raising me there! I am beyond thrilled that my Polish citizenship has finally come in handy! Going about obtaining proper proof has proved to be a little challenging. Since we don't have one home base (we travel between Chicago, Milwaukee & Minneapolis in the summer time) getting all of our official paperwork reguired us to drive 719 miles. That's right! Good ole 719 miles! We basically needed to have our marriage license apostilled (or apostille, I still can't pronounce that word or know how to use it properly... it's not only because I am foreign! Well maybe it is.) We basically needed to prove that we are still married. Apparently Spain needs more proof than a FB status!
So our adventure took us from Minneapolis to Chicago to pick up our official marriage certificate from my parents house. Then back to Madison to get the documents signed off on. I should explain this further....you can't just got to ANY courthouse to get your documents apostille or authenticated. You are required to go to the State where you got married. Thankfully we got married in Wisconsin and not Hawaii! And not all court houses do these types of authentications. Soooo instead of driving across the Wisconsin border to Milwaukee, we had the pleasure of driving to Madison. The good part was that we were able to hang out on State Street till our documents got apostilled! So cheers to being a bosman and showing Spain we are still married! ;) It's OFFICIAL, Dan has signed a contract for the 2013-2014 season with Union Financiera Baloncesto Oviedo in Spain. The team is located in the city of Oviedo, which is in the region of Asturias in northern Spain. We have always wanted to travel to Spain and are beyond excited for new adventures abroad! Plus we can finally put those eight years of Spanish to good use!
