So we celebrated Jared's 28th birthday in style - we had a big party here at our house! We invited several of our friends, both Turks and Americans. I spent the weekend cooking and cleaning the house, with some help from Jared in order to prepare for the party. We had 12 people total which is about all our living room can handle. I made a chocolate cake, with chocolate covered strawberries for Jared - it turned out well, I was pleased. We had several other delectable goodies to choose from as well. Everyone seemed to have a good time and the language barrier did not seem to hinder anything. Fortunately the three Turks that were present speak pretty good, if not perfect English. We were so glad that our Turkish teacher, Türkay, could come as well as Celal and Evren, Jared's banker friends. The party raged from 4 until about 6:30 when the Turks had to call it a night. However, the American's partied until 9 pm! We really had a great time and Jared got some fabulous gifts including, several new dvds, cd's, an Adana Soccer team scarf, and a LeBron James T-shirt! We have attached several photos of the festivities. We had a great time and enjoyed opening our home to so many new friends.

Happy belated birthday, Jared. Your party sounds like fun and your food, Jamie, sounds wonderful. Katie tells me you are a wonderful cook and have taught her some tricks in the kitchen. We are so glad you all have each other to celebrate together and enjoy your time overseas as a group.
