It's Good To Be King...and Prince

We just returned from a very special weekend in Germany with our family Jay, Joyce and Jake.  Jake is having a great year at his new high school in Ansbach and has risen to the starting quarterback position on the football team.  We went to see the Homecoming Game where Jay, as the Base Commander (I doubt that is the right title, but it is better than His Majesty, which is what I want to write-just to tease him) got to flip the coin at the start of the game.  At half time Jay and Joyce escorted Jake onto the field as he was elected "Prince" for the Homecoming Court's junior repesentative (of course).  Additionally, we got to meet Jake's adorable girlfriend, Sidney, who was also on the Homecoming Court and is a cheerleader (naturally).  We ended the evening with dinner at "Enzo's," a fantastic Italian restuarant very near Jay and Joyce's house where we were treated like royalty (as you would assume).  All teasing aside, it was a great weekend with some of our favorite people in the world.  It is such a blessing to live so near them that we can share in this amazing experience.  Jake is absolutely shining in his new home and growing up to be a young man of character, humility, and perserverance.  He is a chip off the old block...and even takes after Jay a little too :).
