Hello all, Jake here...
Jackie and I can not begin to count the number of people who have personally told us that they were going to check on our blog regularly. We kind of thought that maybe just our families would check the blog. We were very wrong. People who we didn't even know had computers have told us that they would keep an electronic eye on us. So to those of you who have spoken to us about the blog, and to those of you who will keep tabs on us, thank you. It means so much to us to know that you care about us and how we are doing.

Alright, enough sappy stuff.

Jackie and I are still in Sioux Center. We just got back from a little vacation with my family in the Black Hills, and are busy organizing, packing, shipping, and storing the stuff we've accumulated in the past 13 months. We need to be completely out of our apartment by Wednesday night because on Thursday we leave for a wedding in Des Moines. We'll return from that wedding on Sunday afternoon, and then on Monday, the 14th, we will leave for Minneapolis. We'll be staying over night with a couple of friends and then flying out of the cities bright and early on Tuesday morning.
So keep us in your prayers as these next couple days already are a bit overwhelming and new to us. Also as we say "see you later's" to good friends and family and especially as we fly for 24+ hours to our final destination...Saipan.
How exciting!
So until then...
