~Year 5

Having lived in an apartment since their marriage, Jacob and Silvia have decided that it has gotten too cramped with their growing family. They're moving. While they're at it, they've decided to move somewhere else. They're moving to Australia, where a few of Silvia's lifelong friends are, including her all-time best friend. Jacob never really made good friends, and this makes it easier on him to be leaving now. Anyway, David is going to college in Australia, and the Andersons will be living nearby so he can visit whenever he wants.

Jacob has accomplished his lifelong dream. He's always dreamed of having enough money to put him through medical school so he could become a doctor. After his wealthy Great-uncle Victor passed away, he found out that his great-uncle had left all his money to his favorite nephew: Jacob! Victor Anderson had plenty of money, and now Jacob is going through school, as well as working part time to bring in an income.
