John and Kim

John is still principal at our church's school. He works very hard to keep things running smoothly there. It is fun to be out and about with him when, from somewhere, we hear, "There's Mr. Jacob!" We look around and we usually find a small child tugging on their parent's hand and pointing at John. It is so cute.

I am working as an assistant to Ameriprise financial advisor, Greg Nichols, CFP, CFS. (Doesn't that sound official?) I work about 20 hours a week and enjoy dealing with the clients we work with.

We have done some work on our house this year, adding a sunroom and a patio on the back. I think we will enjoy both additions this coming summer when we are celebrating confirmation and graduations.

The kids are doing great. It is amazing how time marches on. Andy is deciding on colleges and Joey will be starting high school next Fall. All this makes my head spin sometimes so I am just hanging on and enjoying the ride!
