in our home, within our family, we have what's called 'birthday week'. we made it up together - jared and i - probably when it was my birthday and i wanted to extend the joy of the day and relish it for an entire week.
it's the week made up of days before and after your birthday - hence the name 'birth.day.week'. and we celebrate the birthday honoree all the week long.
september is a month of goodness. a month that hosts the birthdays of my mother and my father. the birthday of autumn.
it was no surprise to me at all when i ended up marrying a september birthday boy (i just almost married the wrong one).
all week, we've been celebrating jared. my husband. my dearest. and today i piled powdered doughnuts high on a cake platter with sprinkles and a candle - i did his morning chore for him (feeding the beast in the backyard), and i didn't make him take his vitamins (his favorite present yet). i sent him off to work, while i will keep busy baking two cakes (his request), making orange chicken (his favorite) and purchasing sparkling cider to toast to twenty-six years.
today is a good day. a birth day. happy yours, my dear jared. happy yours.
