"All my bags are pack, I'm ready to go..."

The Armageddon song is starting to come to mind. I can't believe that it's finally here. Everything in our apartment is all in boxes, piled high to the ceiling. We head out for good Monday. This will be our 3rd time to move in our 14 months of being married! I guess they say that when you are doing what the Lord wants for you to, you're not promised to be in the same location! It is starting to hit...and it's starting to get hard. Things usually don't hit BJ and me until afterwards, but it's kind of hard not to think about it when our whole lives are in boxes.

My family had a get-together for us to see everyone one more time (until Christmas). It was so nice. My family really is unique and special! BJ and I talk about how we, and most people, take for-granted how easy it is to call family up and all get together in a moments notice. It has been impossible to do with his side of the family...and I'm about to ruin it for my side! But I'm sad that we haven't taken advantage of that. For everyone (most everyone-Becky) to be within 20 miles of eachother is amazing.

While we are sad to move away, we are excited to be starting a new chapter in our lives that God is writing. Please remember our quote that we are living by...we encourage everyone to live by it:

"I am willing to go anywhere, at any time, to do anything for Jesus"

Where in the world is "Jill and BJ"?!?!?!










We love our small group! Last night was our last small group with the Boxwood group (for a while). They decided to throw us a 10 year old birthday party at Perfect Swing! It was so us!! We wore party hats, ate surprisingly yummy pizza (Thanks Esteps), rode go-karts, bumper karts, and played a mean game of ghetto golf! It's been such a blessing to find a group that we really connect with and can have so much fun. Watch out Waukesha, because you have big shoes to fill!! I could go on forever...but picture are worth a thousand words!

You wanted it...NOW YOU'VE GOT ITTTT!

BJ says since this is our first post, we have to keep it short :(

Welcome to our blog! We have had several, okay lots, of requests to start a blog!! So here it is! It is still under construction, but we plan to update it frequently while we are in training with New Tribes Mission. I'm sure some of you cannot live without hearing about our crazy life stories, so please keep checking back!
