...into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At 'em boys, Give 'er the gun! (Give 'er the gun now!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

We have finally arrived at RAF Lakenheath, home of the 48th Fighter Wing. It's been a busy month
getting ready to move since my first blog. On July 20th Chip and I both
finished our jobs in MS, we both had an amazing four years working at Hancock
and at Keesler. But, the last three weeks were even busier than when we were at
work!!! The first week was spent getting ourselves and our house ready,
followed by a week of packers and movers, and finally a week with family! The
packers had our house packed in an amazing 3 hours - so happy the Air Force
packs for us, that would have taken me weeks. The time with family was
priceless - we got to visit with each of our families and make wonderful
memories. It is very hard moving so far away from all of them, Praise the Lord
for Skype!
We left MS on the afternoon of the 13th and arrived in
London around 9:30 the morning (UK Time) of the 14th. Both of our flights went
surprisingly well, Peyton was WONDERFUL! He played and slept on the way to
Houston and watched movies and slept the entire way to London. Once we arrived
we were greeted by 2 men from Chip's new office. It was great to be chauffeured
around by them. We were able to get Kosmo from the London kennel and play with
him for the day before taking him to a local kennel. Boy was Peyton glad to see
his puppy, and of course Kosmo was thrilled too!
On the Flight to Houston
(Paci's were a must on the plane but hey, it worked!)

Ready to Take Off
Now that we are here we are spending time getting acclimated
to the base and the surrounding areas. Honestly we are both experiencing a
little bit of culture shock, but we know that we will learn it all in time. The
jet lag has been rough on our little man, it will take a few more days for him to
get used to the 6 hour time difference. As our new adventure is beginning we
are excited and still pretty nervous. In the next day or so we'll be renting a
car - watch out people - we'll be let loose on the left side of the road!!
We know many of you have prayed for us over the past few
weeks and we are truly grateful. Keep the prayers coming! It will be a few
weeks still before we are in a house and can get fully settled, but we are
looking forward to exploring the UK and making this our home for the next three
years!
Of Course there are Parks in England Too!!!
