Most specifically, last weekend my wonderful bridesmaids threw me a shower. It was lovely. Dear friends and family traveled from all over (as far as Washington DC and Vermont!) to be there with me, and even the weather was perfect. It was an afternoon spent well. There was even a life-size drawing of the hub-to-be for pin the kiss on the groom! It was so awesome, and made even better when my Gramma won the game!
And today. Today is the hubs-to-be's birthday! I love birthdays so much, especially his because I can go all out for him. In my family, on our birthdays, you wake up to a birthday chair. Meaning, your chair at the dinning room table is decorated with ribbons, streamers, and balloons, and you get a little something to unwrap at breakfast. Since we moved to Boston, I've carried on this tradition. Last year for the hubs-to-be's birthday, as well as for my sister's birthday (and I got one on mine too!) It's fun and just makes you feel special right from the get-go. He got a chair this morning, and his breakfast made for him! (I have killer egg sandwich making skills). And Tonight we're having dinner (made by him!) with our friends, and it will be wonderful.
I love the guy to pieces and I can't be anything but happy that I'm with him to celebrate today!
(please excuse the red eye. and his gigantic beard, which was trimmed yesterday, thanks goodness)
