Here We GO!
Tomorrow we will be boarding a plane bound for Beijing. A flight that we sometimes thought would never take place is finally going to happen. A whirlwind of emotions is swirling through our heads. We are exhausted already... all the planning, packing, last minute details... it's all done, and we are ready to go. Saying goodbye to our boys has proved difficult. 17 days is an AWFUL long time to be away from them. We will miss them desperately. But this new chapter of our lives is about to begin, and we want to savor every moment of it. I hope you enjoy the ride with us... now let's get going!

My name is Jay. I am a 37 year old guy, elated to be married to my beautiful bride of 15 years, Laura. We have two sons, Evan and Colin, who are just about the most amazing two boys that anyone, anywhere, has ever known. We have a beautiful daughter named Raina, whom we have recently adopted from China - and quite simply, she has completely lit up our world. I am a bass-playing worship leader at Parkview Christian Church who happens to earn a living as a communications technician in the mighty city of Chicago. I make a very human attempt at following my savior Jesus Christ as closely as I can, so I am therefore very thankful for His grace. He laid down His life in order to purchase mine, and gave me eternal life in exchange for my trust in Him. He has proven Himself faithful to me throughout my life, which is why I hold fast to Him.
