Countdown

I just wanted to let everyone know that i added a countdown at the bottom of the page for when we get back to the states...the dates not exact but it is close

here are some pictures of a BBQ we went to...a german guy that joe works with every once and a while invited us...it was pretty interesting because his whole family was there and he was the only one that could speak english...the guy that invited us is also a volunteer fire fighter and he had his buddies from the fire department roll by with their new fire truck...i think one of the pictures has it in the background...not sure though lol...anyway loring had tons of fun playing with a bunch of kids that had no idea what he was saying lol....and the food was good...different but good

here are some pictures of garmisch...its a city located on the germany austria border..its a very beautiful place...we had tons of fun there too...we rented some bikes and rode into town and just waled around for a while then went back to the hotel and joe and loring went swimming for a while....loring had tons of fun there too...we went there for a "marriage" retreat which to us is just a free trip to a very expensive hotel lol....anyway loring got to go to daycare while joe and i went to classes...loring had so much fun there he didnt want to leave...eventually we got him out of there and had some more fun...hopefully we get to go there again...and have more time to do more stuff there.

Leaving Germany for good soon

so we will be leaving here in the first week of september and im more than excited...i cant wait to get out of this stupid country and away from this stupid unit joe is in...dont get me wrong this is a beautiful country to visit but its not that great to live in specially if your american....everything in america is humungo compared to things here...and the people here are just kind of wierd...like hospitals they dont have very many doctors there on the weekends just enought to take care of the folks who come into the ER...but if you go into the hospital on a friday night and they want to run test on you or whatever you have to stay there till monday...i think out of everything that annoys me about this place thats my number one on my very long list...anyway when we come back to the states we will be flying into oklahoma and then from there we are going to fly up to washington...we will be there for about 2 weeks and then we will head down to california and will be there for another 2 weeks then back to oklahoma...were hoping to buy a car in washington so we can drive down to cali...we have been saving a bunch of money but we just want to buy a car for like 3grand or so...we dont want any car payments...anyway I cant wait to see everyone miss you all and love you all bunches...see you all very soon!!!!!!

Praha(prague)

Im going to start out by saying that i totally forgot my log in info for this website and that is why i havent been on here in a while lol.....anyway over the weekend January 16th-18th we were in Prague.....it was a pretty interesting trip......first of all it took us almost 3 hours to get to Prague then another 4 or 5 hours to find our hotel.......once we finally found our hotel we had realized we were in the right area the whole time but just didnt realize that we were missing our street.......then the hotel wanted to give us an extremely small room with 3 tiny lil beds in it and we were like oh hell naw.....lol so we went back to the front desk and told them we needed a different room.......by the time we got into our room it was just after 9 pm.......we got settled in and decided we were hungry so we went back downstairs to see if any of the restaurants in the hotel were open.....the only one that was open was the pub so we ate there and then went back to the room and went to bed.........the next day we got up and went to the breakfast thing they have there at the hotel and it was alright not to sure what it was i was eating but it wasnt to bad....lol.....then we went back to our room got what we needed together for the day and went downstairs to figure out how to actually get into town........we were standing by the thing you have to buy bus tickets from and just staring at it........we were pretty dumbfounded by this thing...lol......finally some people from Britain came up......all we heard was English speaking folk i about started crying just knowing that were people around that would completely understand every single word coming out of our mouths.....lol......it was great and they were very nice people they helped us figure out how to use the bus ticket machine and they let us tag along with them so that we could get on the right train and all that stuff to get to where we wanted to go.......it was great.......then we finally get to the center of Prague and we go to the museum there and then after the museum we were hungry so we start walking around looking for somewhere to eat........well we see a sign that looks very familiar and it says T.G.I. Fridays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wholly freaking cow.......i miss that place so much and of course we went there and everything we eat is from the jack daniels part of the menu.........OMG it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy.......it diffently made our day.......then we finish eating and do some more of the tourist thing we went to the anatomic or whatever clock tower.......dont ask i dont know.....lol......then we went to this area that reminded me of pike place market kind of.......it was a bunch of stands where people made stuff and sold it......we found one with some really cool watercolor paintings of all the tourist places in Prague.....so we bought like 4 or 5 of them........then we went on to the tower bridge......i think it might like the oldest bridge in Prague or something i cant remember though......then we went back to the hotel after that.........oh we also got some crystal stuff like some shot glasses and like a liqueur bottle thing and 2 champagne glasses.......thats pretty much the reason why went over there so that was cool too........and then we just went back home the next day.........but it was lots of fun.......and it was nice to get out of the house as well
