Preparations

In October 1803 and by the commissioning of President Thomas Jefferson, Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark met for the first time to begin enlisting participants for the "Corps of Discovery," which would later become known as "The Lewis and Clark Expedition."


Ten years ago, my history teacher told the class that I would be the President some day. THE President — as in, the one in Washington D.C. And when my 8th grade class took a field trip to the capital, my classmates assigned themselves jobs as my future body guards, Air Force One pilot, Executive Secretary, and, yes, even my Official Step-Stool Holder.

Fast forward 7 years and I meet a (very good-looking) man who tells me that his teachers and classmates always said he would be the President one day. THE President. From that moment on, it was war. Naturally, we fell in love and got married.

So when my husband began applying to law schools, Washington DC was the obvious preferred location — for him, education, and for me, opportunity to begin world-take-over.

Humor aside, after months of praying, discussing, wisdom-seeking, and more discussing, we are thrilled (albeit, a bit nervous) to make this big transition in just a few weeks. We know that God has been guiding our every step and we are confident that He will continue to go before us.

... And thus begins the Lizzie and Clark Expedition!
