So we decided to go swimming....

and it was loads of fun, i didn't take many pictures for the sheer fact that Cory's camera may not be terribly amazing but its the only camera we got, so i didn't want to risk giving it a dunk in the pool.. and, i tend to not be as camera happy as i could be.....:) but I'll survive till hopefully Christmas when i can get a new camera..... ANY WHO...a little off track... here are some fun pictures





After a little over a year..(or so, i have no sense of time anymore...) the Ramstein Aquatic center is now open!! hooray! and, well, we got a year pass.......yeah yeah, we didn't know we'd be going through a possible coming home sooner then we thought, so yeah..we'll see how much use we get out of it....any who, its taught Kaylee how to swim with a life jacket i am currently looking around online trying to find these amazing little jackets..

the only problem is that they've taught her not to be afraid of the water, this pool goes from about 6 inches deep to about 4 feet deep and its about half the length of the lap pool, so, without the life jacket she goes in too deep and well...i don't care to think about it.. so we just stick with the life jackets..
nikoys been in the water long enough to know she's scared of it, so life jacket or no, she doesn't like to go deep, and when we get feeling a bit tired, theres a nice warm kiddie pool...i try not to think about the reasons that the toddler/baby pool is warmer then everything else.....i like to think that its because it's smaller and easier to heat.. right?...
at any rate.. the pool rules are "no outside pool toys." so nikoy and Kaylee's inner-tubes are no longer needed, and because they don't allow those toys they provide other means of safety and fun, with the life jackets and these fun little diving rings (with life jackets????...don't ask) that nikoy decided she needed EVERY SINGLE ONE....all to herself...

well on another fun note, on the......20Th (???) of September Cory and i had the chance to go to the Frankfurt temple with some friends, it was a stake temple day and we decided to car pool, so we got a sitter and spent the day in Frankfurt, OK half the day, but it was still pretty fun, they do English sessions at 9 am and 11 am, so we went to the 11 am and got back at 3, it was so fun, and very muchly needed...





so yeah... another normal blog (ha ha merritt!!) more pictures less talkie talkie... we are still in waiting for the results of Cory's medical evil, he's gone in for the testing, they needed to see how much movement and strength is left in his wrist, and then theres interviews i guess, and if they keep him he'll more then likely be retraining to be a Chaplin's assistant, which will thankfully give him time for school!! yay! so when (if we decide to stay that long..) he retires he'll have a degree to fall back on, and if the other route is taken and he gets kicked out, we'll move to San Antonio and I'll get me a job and Cory will get him some schooling, and eventually i'll get m,my degree....someday....and a decent camera.. if he gets out i wont be getting my camera any time soon.. theres pros and cons to both... they pretty much equal each other out.. so yeah....anywho...i hope everyone gets this okay, I've had to privatize my blog, i was getting unwanted comments from total strangers and it didn't sit well with me that I'd been letting the whole world read about our lives so...yeah. any who... i love and miss you all so much! be safe! and take luck!!
