Gosh! I really love my family. My mother in law, Carolyn, came out this weekend to celebrate Jeremy's birthday. Jeremy and I have been married for over five years and no matter where in the country we have lived, Carolyn is there for Jeremy on his birthday. I think that it is so special! I will admit, I didn't really understand why it was always so important to her in the past to be there, but now that I am a mom it shines new light on it. It's incredible to me that for every one of Jeremy's 26 years she has been there on his birthday! My hope is that I can be there for my son every year on his birthday.
Birthday's where never really a HUGE deal in my family while we were growing up...maybe since there were four of us, so close together, it was probably hard to make every birthday special. My birthday always came right around Easter, so it was always kind of overshadowed by the holiday festivities. The most special part of my birthday every year was, and still is, that my Grandpa's birthday was the same day! It was so fun for me that I got to share my one special day every year with my Grandpa. Since I was born on his birthday, I was even named after him! His name is James. I love you Grandpa!! Thank you for making my birthday so special!!
