It's Ben's birthday today. He is a lovely 28! And I am so incredibly thankful that 28 years ago plus 9+ months, he was formed and crafted, spun from the silk of life, into someone who would later become my husband. Birthday's always seem the same, they come around and leave quite quickly, sometimes we are a little awkward in accepting them, sometimes we are a little overindulgent. I think it probably means more for other people than it does really for the person who is being celebrated. A parent thinks of every breath taken, every lesson learned, every tear fallen, every challenge overcome and every joy received. A friend relates to their years gone by. A sibling reminisces about their shared moments. And a wife, especially such a new one as myself, mostly has this day to be incredibly thankful, that a little while ago, he simply came to be. So I am happy today to have Ben's birthday and once again be sitting overjoyed in the gift of his life.
The week should also finish quite amusingly as well since we have planned an ugly sweater party at our place on Friday:) All of you are invited!

I remember the day well! It was a Tuesday morning, and Ben was twenty days overdue! Yikes, it was a long wait for his arrival. But well worth the wait!
