Celebrating 31 years

So after Joy's birthday, Emery's birthday, Emery's birthday party, Valentine's Day we finally get to Jesse's birthday. Bless him, we are all celebrated out by the time Feb 15 gets here. When I was "with child" a lot of people commented on how Jesse's birthday will get forgotten when Emery got here because my due date was Valentine's Day. Thankfully he decided to come a little early to give about a week in between to focus on both of them. I believe that scripture teaches us to make your husband the most important person in the family. It makes sense because if Jesse is successful and taken care of, Emery will be well taken care of. There is nothing more important than a father, son relationship especially while Emery is young and I strive to nurture that relationship however I can. Therefore, as a representation of that thought, I made it a goal to keep his birthday just as special as it has always been. I made him a donut with candles in it that morning and gave him this coffee kettle that brews coffee on the stove. Last night, Jesse was scheduled to play with Joe (The Kernal) so Lisa graciously volunteered to make him a cheesecake. We all sang him happy birthday and he blew out the candles in between songs. Today we are on our way to Nashville to eat at his favorite restaurant, Burger Up, shop for some fancy jeans, coffee, books and a date with his friend Jonny. Tomorrow we are going to Atlanta to grab a truck full of items from Ikea for his showroom and our new house. So Jesse is sorta getting a much deserved birthday weekend;) Love u Jesse!
