Jacob Michael

Well, one more son to be proud of ....

Some of you may not know this but Jacob has been back in the U.S. since the first of April. He had to interrupt his "Riding the Spine" jouney to come back and earn some money. Currently I hear very little from Jacob but he is living with friends up in the Santa Rosa area and working as a substitute teacher. He is also finding time to ride the river and hurt his shoulder. Jacob will be teaching a three week computer class in Los Gatos in July and then the three guys hope to pool their funds and head back to Panama to complete their journey on bicycle to the tip of Argentina.

Ahhh... got to love that adventuresome spirit (even though it terrifies me). Jacob is also planning to apply to Berkeley for their Journalism Program for the Fall of '09. After a couple of weeks of substituting he says he "hates teaching" so after getting a taste of writing several articles for magazines is thinking Journalism may be a better fit for him.

Aren't I just the luckiest mom to have 3 wonderful sons? God has really blessed Brad and I and we are very proud of each of our sons .
