Although we don’t know what will continue to happen with the conflict in Israel, we have prayerfully decided to move forward with living and studying in Israel in August 2025. We have chosen to live on JUC’s campus (in the married dorms) which is secure and is itself a historical site right outside the Old City walls. JUC has direct contacts and resources that allow them to prioritize student’s safety. JUC evaluates current events and their associated effects on the various regions of study, considering safety prior to every field study.

We are still pursuing different options that have been provided by the Lord’s providence. No matter what ends up happening from a job perspective, Tayler is looking forward to the adventure and the vineyards!

Baxter will be staying at a long-term boarding and training facility just south of Nashville, TN. He has already met the trainer and has decided that he loves her almost as much as his pawrents. He can also have visitors if you’re looking for a little day trip!

LOL we have been slowly donating and getting rid of stuff over the course of the last year or so, but the rest will go into a storage unit. Except the car that is going to live in Wendy’s (Tayler’s Mom) garage!
