Getting Ready for Our Grand Adventure

August 13th 2012 we will leave the US for our first overseas assignment with the Air Force. We are moving to RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom. While we are sad to leave our family and friends in South MS and LA, we are excited about this opportunity to see new parts of the world, meet new people, and make life long family memories. The name of this blog came from comments from family and friends at the start of this move – several people we talked to about our move told us that this would be a “Grand Adventure” for our family and we are ready to experience it to the fullest!

As I write this first blog entry we are very, very busy getting ready for our move: Mom and Dad are finishing their jobs here in MS, cleaning house, separating items for storage/shipping, spending time with family, etc. Who’d have thought it was this much work to move a family over 4,000 miles???  Me, that’s who! But, I’m up for the challenge.

There will be many more tales of our adventures to share with you all over the coming months/years. We look forward to sharing our story with you through this blog! Stay Tuned as we get ready for the start of this adventure…
