It's all in the details...

This week has been full of just that: details. We have nearly been chasing our tails trying to get all of the things checked off of our list. The "fun" thing is that each time we cross one thing off, it adds at least three more to be done. We are taking it all in stride and laughing at ourselves as much as possible. No sense in getting upset when it doesn't change anything. All in all it is going well. We have a meeting in the morning that should prove to really set things in motion. If things go the way we think they will, we should be coming home with definite dates for the packers and movers. One AWESOME thing we do have is a flight scheduled for Okinawa! We are leaving on Nov. 20 from Seattle. This means that we will be heading out on Nov. 19 from Columbia. It will be a non-stop flight. Our dog, Cooper, will accompany us under the plane- yes he will be sedated.

We'll keep you posted.

Getting Started

We are excited about embarking on our new adventure! We invite you to come along with us through this blog. Our journey together began nearly three years ago. At that time, neither one of us ever dreamed that in this short time we would have done any of the things that we have done or that we would be heading to Okinawa, Japan. We have entitled our blog as "Livin' Lightsey: the two P's and their Pod". Our "pod" will grow, change shapes, relocate mulitple times, with God's blessing "peas" will be added. We want you to be able to be apart of our lives, see us travel, watch us grow, laugh with us, pray with us, ulitmately experience what it will be to be "Livin' Lightsey".

"Livin' Lightsey" is busy, wonderful, fun. We are getting things ready to have the packers and movers come. We are putting in much loved face-time with family and friends. Things get in gear the first of October. Patrick is attending a training class for his new job in Florida. I will be going with him. We will then spend roughly two weeks with family and head to Okinawa just before Thanksgiving.
