We are moving...really!

Yes, we really are moving to Europe!  This big move to Italy has hovered on the horizon for some time now.  We run into people at the store that often say, "you guys are still here???" or "when ARE you guys moving?"   Just when we thought our dates were "for sure," they would change again. But it is finally happening!   Everything is finally in order with our military orders, our passports and visas, our medical clearance, etc.  Some of our stuff has already been sent on ahead to Aviano and should get there about the time we do...we hope anyway!  Our vehicle has been shipped already also and is literally on a "slow boat to China...uh...Italy!"  The movers come this Monday for the bulk of our stuff.  We are running a little crazy these days trying to make sure we have everything in order for the packers.  The political scene in Libya has added some new factors into this for us also, as Aviano is a hub for the NATO troops right now.   We will leave the country in just under 3 weeks.  We so appreciate your prayers as we embark on this big adventure!  I will keep you posted as we prepare to leave!
