Dec. 6th is my birthday. I love my birthday and I am zero percent ashamed of it. I like seeing the nice things people say, getting to be with friends, phone calls, the whole thing. It also reminds me I am one year closer to eventually being a real adult (whatever that means). And this is also the same day that Jayme and I became “Official” even though we were completely head over heels with each other long before that night I called from the hotel lobby of my brother’s bachelor party. But this day is the actual day it happened, so not only is it my birthday, but it is the “birth” of our relationship. The beginning to the next chapter of my life.

This was the first time Jayme was able to buy a gift for me and she knocked it out of the park! The big whiskey cubes I was eyeing up, a wooden watch that I could not stop “pining” over, and a super cute 29 reasons why I love you note. It was perfect, but more then just the gifts is how she acted during this week. She made sure that I was treated extra special, she told me to do whatever it was I wanted, she made special meals, she, she was exactly the person I know her to be. Her behavior was not out of character, or over the top. It is what you would come to expect from a girlfriend who loves their boyfriend in the way She loves me. Things are still new, still fresh, but also so settled and worn in, and I love every bit of it.
