Alaska boy, lost (or maybe found) in Tennessee

Hello, Everyone! This is actually Hayley. I am writing this for Jason because he doesn't have email set up yet, and well, he didn't know about this until just now. Since he is out on the road passing out oxygen and beds, I will be a good wife and speak for him, haha.

Well, Jason grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. That is where his mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, brother, and 2 neices (one of which was just born on Friday) still live today. He left their when he was 18 to move all the way on the opposite end of the country to Florida. He attended Florida Baptist Theological College, where he received a degree in Theology and a minor in music. From there he made a few stops in Alabama, Alaska, and Montana, before he finally landed here in Tennessee. He met me just a day after moving here, and he instantly fell in love (ok, maybe not) but after about 9 months he finally gave into my spell. We were married on April 29, 2006. We bought a house in Antioch, where we have been living for 2 1/2 years. Jason was a Youth Minister straight out of college, but afterwards took a few wrong turns, and now is on the path back to doing what he was made to do. Seriously, you should see him teaching a class full of youth, it is truly amazing. So, if any of you know of anyone looking for a Youth Minister let us know.

For those of you that don't know me and are possibly really confused at this moment, I am Hayley Thornhill, the CSR at the Smyrna office, Jason, obviously, is my husband. Jason just joined the TLC team in March and is a Delivery Tech. He absolutely loves what he does. He loves talking to patients and getting to spend time with them face to face, which is something most of us here do not get to do. He loves working for TLC, and everyone here has always been so good to him. We work for some really great people, ya know?

Also, just a quick prayer request. Jason's dad has prostate cancer. He had surgery yesterday to remove it, but they think that he may still have to have radiation. They are waiting on the test results today to know for sure. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. It is eating Jason up to not be able to be with his family during this time. I will keep you updated on his progress.
