Hello Everyone!

It's been a few weeks since I've posted on the blog so I thought I'd give everyone a little update. Even though we don't know exactly when we'll be home, things are winding down and our replacements should be here soon. Pretty much everyone is counting days at this point. Funny thing is, everyone's days are different because everyone has their guesses on when we're leaving and when we're getting home.

I can't say to much about who and when our replacements are arriving, but we know both for the most part...which is awesome. I now know how are replacements felt when we took over for them almost a year ago. It's such a great feeling to know that the end of all this is near and my real life can start again.

Faith moved into our new apartment in Kenosha last weekend. Even though we had wanted to buy a house right when I got back, we felt it best to just get an apartment for a year and take our time on finding the right house in the right location. It's our first home so we didn't want to rush into things to much. Dan and April Foecking and friends helped load up the truck for the move before both sets of our parents, my cousin Randy, his wife Erin, and our friend Tonya, helped unload the truck up in Kenosha. That's a Wisconsin style move...have friends and family help you...then you owe them for life! Once again, and I can't say it enough times...it's so great having such an amazing group of friends and such an unbelievable family to help Faith and I through this time in our lives!

Well, I'll see you all next month!
Jake
