Moving along (no pun intended)

So things have really picked up this week. Aaron finally got his orders (official paperwork, yay!) which set the stage for other things to happen. In the next two weeks we'll be shipping his truck and our household goods, then we'll make our way to NC. We can't wait to visit with everyone!

We also have our flying itinerary, which Aaron asked me not to post details about in the blog (for security reasons). Feel free to email or call us if you'd like to know. Simply put, we are flying mid April, just as we expected.

Lately I've been trying to explain to Hunter that we are moving. I really don't think he gets it yet. He'll pretend to drive a car and when I asked where he's going, he says he's driving to England. Good luck with that right!? And sometimes he gets upset because he wants to go to England now! It's really cute. He has no sense of what "in a few weeks" means.

Even though things are moving along, there are a few more things we need to work out, preferably before we actually leave. The biggest is selling our home! God has graciously provided for us since we found out we were moving, and I know He will continue too. We are so thankful!

Hope all is well with everyone! Love you all.

PS-If you're interested there is a link to the right that will take you to our family scrapbook blog. Some pics from Hunter's party is published. Check it out!

Hurry up and wait...the military way

Welcome to the Ollis Family blog!

As you all know, we are on our way to England! In just a few weeks our things will be shipped and we'll be spending some time in NC before the big flight. Time is moving quickly, and we are anxious and very excited.

Excited as we are, we will still miss you, our family and friends. To help make sure that we stay connected, we began this blog. Occasionally check it out to see what's going in the UK, stories about our trips, and pictures.

Please make sure to let us know whats going on with you too! Email, call, comment on the blog- however you want, just as long as you stay in touch :)

We love you all! Take care, God bless, and I'll post again soon.
