all right all right i'll tell..... so i had a few e-mails about the "no more dislocated elbows for sherry" comment in my last blog, and i guess i have to share the story....so february of 2007, we hadnt been in germany for a month yet, our household goods were still on a boat on thier way here, and we were bored out of our minds, so we decided on saturday to go bowling, adn we decided to stay late and have fun, so it was getting close to 10 pm, we were having a great time, kaylee was sleeping in her car seat, nikoy was running a mok... it was my turn to bowl, so i grabbed my ball, threw it, yay! hit a few pins... turn 2 came up, i tossed the ball backed up a bit to re-steady myself and as a took a step backwards nikoy came crashing into the back of my legs, adn down i went, and to keep myself from landing on nikoy, i landed and on my elbow instead, and well... the pictures speak for themselves......
can you see where the two bones are supposed to connect? well theyre not connecting.....
this is my pretty bruise it showed up about a week after the accident... owie huh? well alot happend from this experience, as it turns out. we were still new, the closest LDS ward we could find was an hour and a half(ish depends on traffic) drive away in frankfurt, and the docter who got to re-locate my elbow ended up being in the high priest quarum in our stake and he was able to give us directions to our church and tell us what ward we're in, and he even had a ward list he gave us! i was nice to know its only a 10 minute drive to our church and not an hour...so it was great, in a painful way... i also learned that dislocations are NOTHING like they show in teh movies... you watch an action movie where the hero falls and grabs the edge of a cliff or something and dislocates his shoulder, he gets up pops it back in and continues on his way? not in real life, dislocating takes a LOT to heal! i couldnt straighten my elbow for weeks! and i had to go through physical therapy, and it was horrible, it still locks up on me once in a while... but anywho.. thats the story.. now you know...:)

and the moral of the story is #1, when bowling with children hog tie them before taking your turn....
and #2, god works in mysterious and ..sometimes painful...ways....
