Birthday celebrations are the best. I mean, if you don’t have birthday and/or gift giving/receiving anxiety.

I just find Birthdays to be so damn happy. Particularly happier when they’re not mine. It’s a beautiful time to give pause, thanks and to, celebrate.

Today is The BF’s Birthday. The Scorpio to my Taurus ways. And I’m extra thankfuly for him today. Now he’s not just legally bound to me for eternity, but the father of my child. My Baby-Daddy.

I see him completely differently already. And I think over and over again, I’m so glad one of us is going to be a great parent. That would be him I’m talking about.

Okay, fine, I’ll be a decent Mama. I hope to be a great one, but The BF is going to be the one that does all the shit I’m not going to be able to stand. Like coaching soccer. How great will that be. He coaches and hopefully that means I won’t have to show up to games in the pouring rain and freezing temps. Both parents don’t need to be there, right?

In true BF fashion, when I asked what he wanted to do for his day, he said, I want to cook a wonderful meal for the people I love. I just stood there and stared at him for a few seconds, trying not to look shocked and say anything, because I didn’t want to make myself look bad. We know I’d never make a statement like that. And if I did, well, something would be horribly wrong with me.

My idea of a birthday dinner is not a dinner — it’s having everyone make all my favorite foods all day long, complete with a Carvel Ice Cream Cake at the end of the day and yes, that shit really is, what happy tastes like. TC’s so good about making me tons of birthday foods.

I really lucked out, didn’t I? Someone who wants to take hours on their birthday to do the work for everyone else. Truly amaze. It reminds me that I picked a really great baby daddy and that despite all our ridiculous stupid drama of the past, it was just meant to be. And, hey, at least the drama adds to the story. Def doesn’t make it a boring one.

Yep, we are the luckiest people. In the whole world. I hope all of you feel that way about your loves.
