Picking each other up

New York

Friday, December 25, 2015
Married children spent Christmas with in laws this year, so we had Gma, Amy, Melanie, and Emily with us. We had a delightful morning opening gifts. Carly and Steven came up later in the day.  Our plan was to leave late that evening to the airport to catch a red-eye flight to New York City for a Christmas experience in the city.

There was tons of snow Christmas Day and Steven drove us to the airport for our flight to JFK. So Steven will pick us up, as well. When we went through Security, a bottle of hair gel was found. I went back to the baggage office to get my bag back so I could get the iPad and put the hair gel in it. I just received it and put the hair gel in it. The iPad was not in the suitcase. Turns out it was in moms. The flight was non eventful. Linda and I sat together and the girls sat behind us. We met a taxi driver, Fausto, who took us to our apartment. He is from the Dominican Republic and has been driving taxis in NYC for seventeen years. I am going to try and get a Book of Mormon for him.

​The unlikely friendship turned Jacobs’ life around for the better, inspiring him toward a new degree and a culinary career.
