Leaving the nest

Jake left a few minutes ago for San Antonio, early tomorrow morning he'll swear in to the United States Coast Guard. We're all going to miss him a lot, I'm really glad he stayed with us for a couple of months before he left. It was nice getting to know my brother-in-law, and for him to spend some time with Nate. He will tell you himself how much he looks up to Nate, always has. I'm sure part of that is the 9 year age difference, Nate was leaving to go into the Army when Jake was just a kid. Anyway, we're really proud of him, he's shown maturity and discipline beyond his years. Best of luck, Jakey... we're always here for you.
