Jake's 18th Birthday ~ Sunday, September 28, 2008

Jake:

Yay! My birthday! I always feel a special bond with the world on my Birthday... Like everything's exactly in place where it should be for the year ahead...

'Breaking new ground here with the whole 'Cloud' thing'


It was rainy, and the clouds were just amazing...

'There is no gift quite like the present'

It was so beautiful, that I was sad to open it. I got over my sadness relatively quickly tho'.

'Blue and white streamers...'


Don't streamers and balloons just make you feel special?


Tira misu cheecake is possibly the best thing ever...


'Before..'


My parents got me a cool japanese beer with an owl on it. ; )

'And after.'

It was also delicious.

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me birthday wishes, I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people.
