Population increase

After living in the city for a year, Jessica has moved back to our little town. This all came about rather rapidly and unexpectedly. She enjoyed city living and all the hustle and bustle...she enjoyed her job and her little townhouse. But then one day she got a phone call from her old job, offering her a more lucrative position. She was very flattered and excited---but took a few weeks to think things over and pray about it all. In the end she decided to go for it. So, in a matter of two weeks, she packed everything up and made the trek back up north...back to her roots...back to small-town living. For now she's living in a small house about 6 miles from us, hoping that this spring she'll find a more comfortable house or apartment. We're thrilled to have her back in the area.

This year has been one with a lot of changes for Jessica.

-She moved three times...to an apartment, a townhouse, and now to a small house.

-Three different job changes...each time moving up in position.

-She led two different mission trips to an Indian Reservation in South Dakota, coordinating about 60 different people.

-She had one romance that lasted several months, but didn't work out in the end. Although we loved Jon K., the two of them led very busy lives and decided to go their seperate ways.

-One surgery...requiring almost two weeks recuperation time.

-Adoption of one cat.

-She turned 25---celebrating this milestone in Nebraska with several friends, while tubing down a river.

**We're glad to have you back among the civilized folk, Jessica!**
