The Best Birthday

J,

Okay, there’s a bit of a backlog that I need to make up for so over the next couple of days I am going to be SPEED POSTING. Let’s dig in.

We are going to time warp back to April 13th, our celebration of my birthday. Never has anyone put so much time and effort into the celebration of my birthday before.

We hopped in the car early and at first I had no idea where we were going but I was able to piece together that we were heading down to Niagara. We had an amazing IHOP breakfast, yum, and then we walked through town a bit and wound up at the bird sanctuary! I love birds so much. They’re so cute and fluffy and i got to hold a giant heavy parrot baby. We then walked around a bit more, going down to the waterfront and then hitting up an orange julius *drools* before heading back to the car.

That was all part one of my birthday. The next part is what really took me by surprise. We started walking through downtown when we got back to Toronto and then we started walking towards the Rogers. We went to a beautiful spring time baseball game and the Jays won against the Rays. It was a great game and I found out that you actually like baseball! I’m really glad, it’s a nice cheap hobby we can pick up through summer and fall, just for fun.

As far as gifts go, you couldn’t have done any better. You got me a beautiful jacket to start my patch jacket collection. It is amazing!! I couldn’t have picked a better jacket myself. And, I would have never committed to anything haha. You know when to give me the push I need. You also got me an amazing drawing of us in our wintery outfits. I love all these illustrations we have of us in different styles from different times. It makes me so happy and I can’t wait until we have a place of our own to hang them all up along with the amazing pictures of our many adventures. We have so many pictures now and I love all of them. I love seeing your smile and I love that we will have them to look back on in the future. I’ve never liked taking pictures and definitely not with anyone. With you, taking pictures is so natural and so fun. I love how genuinely happy we both look.

This love is the best gift you’ve ever given me. Every birthday will be the best birthday when I celebrate it with you.

Love, Your best friend, C.
