Background:

Jill grew up in Central Florida where all her family still lives (Haines City, Winter Haven area).  She and Alan married in 1981 and they traveled where ever the US Army took them — Fort Campbell, Kentucky and Fort Clayton, Republic of Panama.  

After leaving the army, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas where they attended seminary and Alan worked for General Dynamics on "top secret" planes and some not so "top secret."  

In 1991, they moved back to Florida and lived on the Space Coast where Alan served as an engineer with the booster rocket program.  Jill loves to tease him about being a "rocket scientist."  

They took a year off from full-time work for a full-time ministry mid-1998 to mid-1999.  

Near the end of 1999 Alan accepted a position back with his former company, Pratt Whitney, but this time down in West Palm Beach Fl.  They moved to the Treasure Coast in 1999, and hope to call it home for many years.  

All told, the Bond family has moved to 17 different houses, (not including ministry office moves).
