Happy New Year!

2008 ended with a great vacation and time with Jake's family.


We were blessed to have family here with us. To show our favorite spots and things to do on the island, to explore new ones and new things, to show our stores and local things to buy and especially to meet our new family here. They were able to almost meet all the people we have to come to love and be with here and that was also a blessing.


Jake and I had a great time with his family! They were safely blessed with their travels to and from here.

The Van Dam's after church and a full week of fun and sun!!!

We then celebrated our New Years with dinner for two at Taste of India, a bonfire on the beach with the Sawyers, packing for our Japan trip, and a nap/movie, fireworks greeted in the New Year on the front balcony and here we are.

Ready for 2009.

We pray that all you reading this will be blessed this coming year. Know that Jake and I love you, miss each of you that we don't see,and pray for you as well.

We love you all!

Love,

J & J



p.s. Look for the next post and pictures of our Japan trip!
