Addison & Jace ::: en route

So, fair readers, it’s my birthday, and I’m 27. The big 2-7. That feels grown up to me. Not sure why, but it does. I really feel like an adult today, you know? I’m married. Addison and I are planning our futures—where we’re going to be, what we want from our careers, when we’re going to have kids, etc. It’s a big time in my life so I’ve decided to do some major celebrating for my birthday!

Last night, Bear & Mary Alice (Addison’s dad and step mom) came to see us, and we went out to eat. We had an awesome time. Great food, great wine, great company. It is always so much fun to be with them, and it meant a lot that they visited for my birthday.

Tonight, my lovely wife is taking me to dinner at The Melting Pot, a restaurant we enjoy quite a bit. I’m really looking forward to being with her. She’s my wife, but she’s also my best friend, and I just really love to hang out with her.

Tomorrow night, my sister and crew (her hubby and son) are coming over to hang out. We’ll eat and play Wii or cards and just have a good time. Plus, they’ll get to see our awesome Christmas decorations.  Speaking of decorations, we should really post photos of our newly decorated house. I’ll try to remember to do that (or to ask Addison to).

Other than birthday stuff, things are pretty much the same with the wife and me. We’ve paused our redecorating for the holidays (thank God) so we’re just spending our days shopping for gifts and enjoying the season. It’s our favorite time of year…and our first Christmas together as a married couple. I don’t care how sappy I am–this is a milestone, and I love it (and my beautiful wife)!
