Are we THERE yet?

Well departure day is here at last!!

Sorry for the lack of updates these past 4 weeks.  Much has happened since completing Phase 4 training at TEAM and making our way eastward for our last month in the US.  And since this post is being written enroute to Atlanta airport there will be no pictures : (  Perhaps we will be able to post some highlights of our pre-departure weeks once we arrive in France -- although by then you'll be more interested in seeing pics of the Alps!

True to our usual M.O. -- we have packed the last month full.


  • TEAM Phase 4 -- with special visit from dear friends heading to SE Asia
  • TN visit with Dean's sis and bro-in-law
  • Nona & Boppy visit complete with celebration of our 8th wedding Anniversary
  • Time with Granddaddy & family
  • Journey to Healing conference -- time of spiritual renewal and prayer
  • VA trip to:

    •  meet Eliana the newest member of "JAME" (nickname for Dean's bro's growing family...previously "JAM")
    • visit the Ledfords -- our flower girls have grown UP
    • visit the Chas -- ministry partners we met at the Crescent Project
  • SC family and friend time at Nanny's, Nana & Papa's lake house, Nona's, Uncle Darol's lake house (a special time for Dean with some prayer warrior men)
  • Skype dates -- unfortunately we were unable to complete them all (Sorry Uncle Johnny!!)

  • PACKING!!!  Thankful to have our 9 checked bags + carry-ons packed to the max : )


WHEW!!!  So if you wondered what we've been up to, there are the "Cliff Notes."

And now we are nearing Atlanta where we will say our final farewells and let the adventure of our first term truly begin...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your faithful prayers, generous support and consistent encouragement!!  We are blessed that we do not do this alone -- we go out as an extension of family -- our family, your family, GOD's Family!

For HIS glory!

Bon voyage...
DDG + K5
