Libya

Well, I'm going to begin writing about all of the happenings with our move to Tripoli, Libya. I have seriously been thinking about writing a book while I'm over there, with my thoughts about moving and all of the many adjustments that will inevitably take place. We are truly off on an adventure, and I am having every imaginable emotion, most days, all occur at once.

Since, I am such a people person, all I  can think about on most days is the departure from everyone that I love so much,  my parents and other family,  my 3 children and their spouses, friends, and of course my 15 month old grandson, Dylan. That part makes me very sad, but then I remember that my sweet husband searched high and low for a job in Texas for over 14 months, and I mainly feel thankful to God for giving him this exciting opportunity to do what he loves, and has worked for all of his career. I have been by his side for almost 33 years, and I'm not about to let him go without me.

So, this week, I have read a lot about life in Libya, and am cleaning closets making room for Brian, Mary, and Dylan to move into our townhome. So much to do, and only a few weeks to do it all in. How do you pack for a year in a country you've never been to? Carefully, I say, very carefully !! More to come.....
