Birthday Week

This week is my birthday week. Some of you may not be familiar with birthday week, but let me tell you...you should be. Birthday week is the week of you birthday. For example, my birthday is Sat, Feb. 7 so my birthday week started Sunday, Feb 1. Now you may ask yourself, why should you or do you even need a birthday week? I guess you don't have to, but why not!!!

I started celebrating my birthday week while I was in college. My friends and I in college were all away from our families so we became a family of sorts. I think it was our way of letting each other know that we cared about the birthday person enough to celebrate all week. Now, this doesn't mean that you have a party everyday or cake everyday, it just kind of means you are special that week. In college, we would give the birthday girl a small present each day of the birthday week and then on her actual birthday she would receive her real present.

Now that I am not in college and married, birthday week doesn't happen that way. My birthday week, might consist of my husband cooking dinner one night or bringing me flowers one day or just treating me special all week long. My husband is amazing, he doesn't ignore me all year and then is nice to me my birthday week...i don't want you to get the wrong idea. He comes up with the most creative and special presents to give to me.

My birthday this year falls on a Saturday, which I am excited about because it is a Saturday. What better day to have a birthday. We have plans to see an IMAX movie and have dinner. I am ready for my birthday. I love my birthday but I don't love getting older.

Bottom line is that I think everyone should celebrate their birthday week and have lots of fun!!!!
