Life’s a Dance

The *HOT* weather has descended upon us! Man, yesterday was awful!! While this house doesn’t have air conditioning either, it doesn’t have the afternoon sun coming into the living room and it has more windows, a better layout for air flow and the windows open more. Much cooler than in our last place but still not comfortable when its 95 and your fans are in Germany! LOL It is supposed to cool off tomorrow, thankfully.

We joined the YMCA tonight. They are offering free membership to military members and free registration to military dependants. We’ve been looking around for swimming & gymnastics for Elizabeth. We couldn’t find any swimming for her age and the gymnastics was going to cost us almost as much as the Y membership for both of us. So for an add’l $4/month, she’ll get both of those plus I can workout there (our gym on post doesn’t have A/C and is ridiculously hot) and we can do free swim times also. I met the lady who runs the aquatic program at LLL last month. I enjoyed talking to her at the meeting last month. It’d be nice to have a friendly face to talk to when we go there.

Elizabeth & I are heading to Indiana next week. I’m looking forward to getting away and sleeping in a bed. LOL I had prepared myself to not be home again until the winter (once we were in Germany) but now that we’re still here, I have been itching to get back. I’m pretty psyched. The cheapest ticket, though, was for a direct flight (NWA just started doing directs). I have always enjoyed the layovers as they have given us a nice break. Also, this flight is completly booked, so we really won’t have space to move about, so layovers are esp. nice for those flights. It’ll be interesting for sure!!
We now have three of Jim’s school dates! We’re still waiting on dates for two (three?) more. He’ll start in October and should finish up next September. Where we go from there we don’t yet know. Our next duty station & the other school dates *should* be given to us by the end of the week.

Our goods are still sitting in Germany, as far as we know. Jim is going back in tomorrow to see what he can find out. I want my dang bed!!! Or, at the very least, my couch! Our inflattable loveseat popped a hole in it and both camping chairs we got have now broken (we got them from Target and that makes FIVE that haven’t lasted…three broke within a day and we returned each of those, which should have been our first clue! LOL). So we’d like to replace at least one of those if not both.
