Since college I have managed to stretch my birthday into a week of celebrating with friends. I like to call that a gift…some people would probably call it something else.

When I moved to Houston, and then became friends with Andrew he gave me a really hard time for celebrating for a full week. He just couldn’t imagine doing that! It was almost like he was appalled. I confidently told him he did not understand because he had never experienced the glories of  a “birthday week.”

After we started dating, I gave him a birthday week celebration and he was instantly converted! So now, we celebrate for the week leading up to our birthdays. It is a glorious thing. Everyone should do it.

Everyday I get a little gift, sweet note or both. Andrew is really creative in how he does it and of course SECRETIVE! (and this just really gets me)

Today was my first gift. He left a note sitting in my car and then The Fray’s new cd in my cd player. I was super excited! So excited in fact,  I was hoping I would have traffic this morning so I could listen to more of my cd.

I’m looking forward to a full week of celebrating with my husband and friends.
