About

This is Jacob and Marcia’s corner of the internet. 

About us:

Update 1 December 2020:

After graduating with a Master’s Degree, Jacob continued to be self employed while teaching a full course load at the university.  He has since changed jobs, still being able to work from home.  That has proven fortunate for our family as 2020 brought us the need to be home as much as is possible.  We are hoping the coronavirus pandemic will see an end before too much longer.
We have added a total of three children to our family; in 2010, 2012, and 2016. 
We have purchased our second home as our family’s needs outgrew our first one.  We have great love for both of the houses, for different reasons.
We are officially in our forties now.

May we continue to learn and grow in love and compassion…

Update 9 October 2010:

Jacob decided to go to Grad School in January, and he teaches a freshman level class as part of his assistance-ship.  Marcia is subbing at a preschool and loves to hear what the little ones can come up with.  We are two months shy of meeting our first-born.  Neither of us are in our twenties any longer.  This summer we purchased our first home, and we love it here.

Exciting things to come…

16 August 2006

Once we get married (on November 4, 2006), it will be our family website, but until then it’s just the website of two people who happen to really like each other.

We are both in our mid-20s, living in West-Central Illinois.  Jacob has a degree in computer science with a minor in music and runs a computer software and technology consulting business.  Marcia has a degree in Spanish and is currently the innkeeper at a very nice bed-and-breakfast.  We both enjoy movies, marching bands, and bicycling (but I’m faster!).

More to come later…
