Arrival in Jacksonville

Ah God, what an ugly city Jacksonville is. – me

Ah God, what an ugly city every city is. – Bokonon


Well, we arrived in Jacksonville yesterday. Crazy drivers and endless stretches of strip malls. My Dad, his girlfriend, her son, Melanie’s friend and her fiancée met us at the storage place and helped us get everything moved in. I’m thankful for their help as I cannot imagine unloading that 26 foot U-haul without it. I am happy to be done with the packing and moving that consumed most of the last two weeks and looking forward to hanging out with friends and family before we leave. We’re staying at my Dad’s and have enjoyed his cooking on the grill the last two nights.

We should find out pretty soon (I hope) about where we’ll be living in Amman. Two weeks ago we submitted our housing application, in which we requested a two bedroom, furnished apartment with internet, a pool table, and a Jacuzzi - just kidding about the last two items. Hopefully we’ll get an email soon telling us they found us a suitable place and include pictures so we can decide whether to go with that or try to find something once we get there.
