Quick update for ya from the 670.
1. We just started our 8th week of school. Only one more week till first quarter is done. Crazy how time is flying faster this year than last.
2. Jackie joined Gold's Gym and has been working out 3 to 4 days of the week.
3. Jake is in the middle of training for his first Olympic distance triathlon. The tri is in Rota on October 14. Should be fun (if he finishes).
4. Typhoon #2 of the 2009 typhoon season is now approaching. The last one blew for a little over a week but only mustered 25 m.p.h. or less wind. Pray that this next one is as unmemorable.
5. We've been house sitting for the Quinn's. Its kinda nice to commute to a house you don't have to pay electricity for in a car that you didn't have to buy or pay for gas.
6. Jake, while driving, got run off the road by an angry local who the proceeded to curse him out in front of four lanes of stopped traffic.
7. Sarah Douglas from Churchill Montana arrived on the 27th of September to student teach at Marianas High School. She's staying with us for a while till she can get an apartment and a vehicle.
8. We just had the most amazing meal at a restaurant across from school. We took Sarah out for a Japanese meal at a restaurant called Oish. We went in not expecting much, but we left absolutely blown away. Everything was delicious, from the sushi to the tempura to the fried noodle. Definitely our favorite meal in Saipan thus far.

well, thats about all i got for right now.
hope this post find you all well.
and we would love to hear from you if you get a chance.

love,
