Yes, it's true that Jacob transferred to Missouri Military Academy just over two weeks ago.
Here's how excited he was to go:
The decision was a long time coming, but all parties--parents and teenager--came to feel happy about it after many struggles and much fasting and prayer.
After some research, Doug and I and Jacob first took a weekend to visit a couple of boarding schools, and we settled on Missouri Military Academy (MMA). It is only about 3 1/2 hours away in Mexico, MO which is near Columbia, home of Mizzou (University of Missouri). Rather unfortunate neighbors if you are a KU fan, but many of the boys are not from Missouri at all and so have no particular devotion to Mizzou.
Please enjoy these photos of Jacob's send-off, his first day at MMA, and our first visit to see him there after his enrollment.
