Update

Bonjour Everyone,

Hey guys, so wanted to give you an update on what has occurred over the past week and an updated Itinerary.

At this time, we are pretty much set on our itinerary. Here is what our life will look like the next three months:

September 4th and 5th: 1) Garage Sale and selling all of our belongs. 2) Going away party at the Roman's (Everyone is invited - call for details)

September 5th: Last Sunday at Church. Everyone will be praying for us and setting us off for our new phase in life. Please continue with pray even through we are not going to be attending that church. Pray is vital throughout this process.

September 7th: Cheryl Quist (Jenna's mother) flies into town.

September 8th: 1) The moving van will be coming to pick up all our belongs and driving them to Minnesota. 2) Jenna and her mother leave Seal Beach and begin their road trip to Minnesota. They will be driving the Subaru and transporting valuables that we do not want to ship. 3) Cable/Netflixs/Utilities all cancelled

September 10th: 1) Last day working for Department of Children and Family Services. 2) Last day living in Seal Beach  =(

September 10th - 13th: Living with Garett and Micah in LA/Santa Monica

September 13th: I (Colby) leave for Minnesota

September 20th: Fly to New York City. Jenna and I will be staying in Jersey City, New Jersey right on the Hudson River, which is about 20 minutes from 5th Avenue. Jenna will be working at the 5th Avenue Flagship Abercrombie store for Flagship training. You might ask what I am going to do. The answer is, NO CLUE!!!!! I talked to a good friend of mine, Matt, who lives in New Jersey. He informed me that his sister is a manager at a restaurant and I might be able to work there for the time that we are in New Jersey/York.

October 1st: Fly to London, England. Jenna starts her Flagship training in London. I know that the first day that we get to London, I have to take the train to Paris to meet with a lady from the American School of Paris to discuss employment. Other than that, I am going to start P90X to get sexy.

October 23rd: Fly to Paris, France. Jenna starts her Language Training. Me, continue to look for a job. Plus, we start to search for housing that we will be living in for the next 20 months.

December 20th: Fly back to the states for Christmas. I will be spending the first five days in Minnesota, then the last few days will be in California.

So that will be our life for the next 3 months. Sounds pretty busy and let me tell you, IT WILL BE!!!!

This past weekend: I have contacted the moving company that will be transporting our stuff cross country. It will cost around $1200. Good thing we are not paying for it, Thanks Abercrombie. Went to HSBC Bank to discuss opening up a Bank account Local/International. Went pretty smooth and we will be going with HSBC. HSBC has a lot of perks and it is the best bank to go with. Lastly, opened up a Delta American Express credit card. Pretty stocked with that.

Anyways that is it. I will ask that everyone begin to pray for us because times are getting pretty stressful. We need as much prayer as possible. I would ask that you pray for safety, protection, a smooth transition, our relationship as a married couple, good communication, and lastly and the most important that our faith will stay strong throughout the process.

Thank you everyone and the next update, I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!
