Finally

Well the wife finally arrived and everything is going great. Im sure the boys miss their backyard but they are adjusting nicely. Uma is waiting for our internet to get turned on before she updates this thing. Which hopefully will be soon. You never know with these telecom people. I have had alot of off time with the whole block leave and 4th of July so we have been able to spend some good time together. We did our first outing and youll never guess where we went. Nope not Trier or any castle or anything historic. My wifes first outing that she dragged me to, twice by the way, was to the magnificent and wonderful world of IKEA. Yes the stateside ever elusive store is plentiful here. There are like 3 in Mannheim alone. Im not complaining cause one good thing did come out of it. We got black out shades. So the light does not coming pouring into our eyes at 0500 and stay there until like 1030. It honestly does not get dark here until sometime between 1030 and 11, and sure enough bright and early at 0500 its, well...bright and early. But she and the boys are here and doing well minus a little jet lag. Her schedule is a little off but she is slowly coming around. The weather has been the usuall Baumholder weather which she is accepting for the most part. Shes happy thats its not 95 and 100% humidity. Instead its 55 and raining, constantly. I have never been to Seattle but I would think somewhere along those lines. I have to get back to work. Im sure she will keep in touch with everybody just as soon as we get our internet.
