August Birthdays

In the last eight and a half months of marriage I've learned a lot about David's and mines differences. For instance, when my birthday gets close I get excited. I've always loved when my birthday comes around. David doesn't share the same excitement I do about birthdays, he sees his birthday as just another day, one he doesn't like to think about because it means he's getting older. Me on the other hand I like the fact that I'm getting older. I like the attention that for one day people are centered around me. I used to love it as a kid, when it was time to sit down for cake and ice cream at my birthday parties and all the other kids would fight over who would get to sit by the birthday girl. I'm not usually a spot light kind of girl so I try to milk my birthday for all it's worth. This year I'm excited about my birthday even more because I have big plans for standing in a Big Bright Spot Light. On my actual birthday next Wednesday people from David’s family, my parents, grandparents, and a couple of good friends are all going out to dinner to Olive Garden. If you have never tried Olive Gardens Chocolate Birthday Cake then you have never tried the best cake you will ever have in your life.

The party doesn't end there though. The following weekend David and I are going to spend it up at his grandparents cabin on a beautiful lake with my sister, my future brother-in-law, and some other friends. I've been telling everyone though, that they can stop by and join the fun. We're going to spend lots of time inertubing, wakeboarding, swimming, eating, playing bored games, and just relaxing.

I have to admit that last three birthdays haven't been that great, I can't even remember what I did for my 17th birthday. That's another reason for my excitement, also one other reason is because I'm turning 20, I'm no longer a teenager anymore, I'm now in my twenties. (Good and exciting for me, bad and scary for my parents and grandparents to realize their youngest child and grandchild is now in her twenties.)

This blog entry is titled August birthdays because not only is my birthday in August, but my brother-in-law's birthday is today, my future sister-in-law's birthday was yesterday and David's brother-in-law's was the third. I never knew so many people that shared the same birthday month as myself growing up so it's interesting to know so many August babies now.
Happy Birthday to all that are having an August Birthday.
