Birthday Fun In Kenya







Well My birthday was on sunday and it was good.















....oh sorry! - you wanted more detail????haha :)



well....i celebrated my birthday on saturday with some friends, we went to a movie and then at night a bunch of people came over, (which was a surprise to me) and they had a cake for me, and it was really nice. Just a good time of hanging out with friends. I will put some pictures up. :)



other than that, i am doing okay. Now i say only okay, because the last few days have not been the easiest of my time away. i have felt very home sick lately for some reason. More home sick than any other time on my trip, and i'm not sure why. Everything here is great, so it doesn't really make sense, but maybe it's not supposed to. I would however really appreciate your prayers, and also please pray that i beat this awful cold i have! i don't feel the best at all. Thanks in advance. i know that this will pass, and i'll be back to having a blast in Kenya ( not that i'm not....) but it is just hard to go through.



anyway, so i am 19 now. i have officially begun my last year of my teens. crazy. for me they went by very quickly. It wasn't a bad experience though. i really enjoyed my teens, i have had so many opportunites, and friends, and experiences that i know know many people don't have. i feel SO blessed. i look forward to what this next year will hold, as i continue to trust Jesus.



well i unfortunately have to go. i am hoping to update this thing a little more frequently!!! so bug me if i don't!



love you all

ps- so there is a group pic (but not everyone is in it..), one of me and my cake, and one of me and Christa my roomy:)

Happy B-Day Jade!
I heard a rumour you had a blog. Did some speed reading ... shhhh did it at work but figured it was ministry related and therefore acceptable :)
Looks and sounds like you're having a fabulous time. Reminds me a great deal of my few weeks in Kampala.
Take Care & Blessings!

Kelly P. - I'm telling on you! (If you are who I think you are...if not...sorry.)

Happy Birthday Jade!! The 20's are WAY better than the teens, so you're moving in the right direction, btw.

And I think I know the reason for your homesickness. It's your cold. When I'm sick, I want to be at home, with Jeff or Mom close by (but not too close, you don't want to be bugged, just loved).

Praying for ya!!
