Iddy's 17th Birthday

Well, this birthday was kind of a funny one for you, I think. We arrived in Greenville, our new home, on August 2, and your birthday was the very next day! We didn't know many people, didn't have a house, didn't have any kind of life there at all... so celebrating a birthday wasn't easy. We had already celebrated with Mimimo and Bepops early on August 1st. She made you poppy seed chicken and I made chocolate sheet cake with peanut butter icing. We gave you Papa's iPhone 8 as your gift, because you really needed a phone, as the one you brought over from Kenya wasn't working well with the American phone networks. On August 3rd we went to downtown Greenville to walk around and get ice cream and do a little exploring. That evening, we had dinner with Travis and Kendra at Tipsy Taco, and you went with Hayden and some other guys to Top Golf. I know you are really having to push yourself to be around so many people that you don't really know (I totally understand that feeling), but you are doing a great job. You have been so outgoing at church, meeting so many people and just being friendly. Everyone loves you, and you seem to enjoy being with everyone at church.
