a birthday of sorts...

yesterday was Jarren's birthday....he is my brother-in-law (Jenica's youngest of two younger brothers)
He has been staying with us the past couple weeks before heading off to Florida for what's called the Masters Commission


it's been great having him around...mostly because i dominate his world at cornhole...however, he got his revenge at mini golf last night

the cool part about him being here is that he has been able to meet so many of our good friends and they have all really enjoyed getting to know him....it will be a bummer to see him go
but the coolest part i think is all the people who showed up for his birthday party....they have only been able to hang with him for 2 weeks but they still came out...i know that this meant a lot to him considering that all of our friends and family are back in Illinois and i am pretty sure this is his first birthday ever away from all of that

it means a lot to have the close friends we do down here, but knowing at the same time that we really do miss all of our friends and family back north. hopefully for all of those back "home" who follow this, you will see what a great time we had and what great friends are around us who love and support us....even to the point of making someone away from home still have a great time on his birthday.

we love and miss everyone in Illinois, but are also so thankful for the people who we are blessed to call friends here in the ATL


so, without further delay, here are the results of too much ice cream cake from Bruster's...
