This was in the message my bf, Allison, left me on my birthday. It's true that September's probably the ultimate month of celebration for the 3 of us! Friday was not only my birthday, but also our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!
People are usually surprised to learn I got married on my birthday, and they always ask if I'm happy I did that. It's a funny question to me because I can't understand who wouldn't want to get married on their birthday? It's like making your special day 1000 times more special -- so yes, getting married on your birthday is awesome!
So what did we do to commemorate such a special occasion? -- Well, not so much special stuff really. Friday we both had to work -- hard. This is a very busy season for both of us. And then Friday night we went to a leadership conference at our church -- but we went with our "Grad Group" and you know how much I love those guys -- so we had dinner all together and then headed to the church where Ross King and Donna Stuart led worship and Ben Stuart gave an amazing talk. I wouldn't have spent that evening any other way.
Saturday morning Dan and I had brunch at Christopher's -- it was incredible -- everyone should go. And our friends Josh and Marni came to stay with us that night. I had the opportunity to mentor Marni for 3 years while she was at A&M and Josh interned at the church -- but now they live in Dallas and he's going to seminary. Catching up with my dear Marni was a huge gift - thanks, God!
Also, I should add that my parents swept our little guy off to Cypress for the weekend which was greatly appreciated. I do think he came back a little chunkier then he left, however ;) I know he had a blast -- not so sure if my parents are even out of bed yet today though.
We aren't done w/ the Sept celebrating yet: Wrigley turns 4 tomorrow, and of course Carson will be 1 in 3 weeks!
You know how I feel about long posts, and try to never do this to my readers, but it's my birthday post - so I can do what I want!
