February is the shortest month and for me, the busiest. I have my birthday to celebrate on the twelfth, Valentine's Day on the fourteenth, and a wedding anniversary on the twenty-fifth. My husband, Andy and I will be celebrating nine years of marriage. The key is that we don't jumble each of these special occasions into one. My husband celebrated his birthday towards the end of January and our youngest son, Trevor celebrates his second birthday next month. Thank goodness, our oldest son, Gavin has a birthday in June, which gives us some time in between, to plan parties!
I will turn thirty-one this Sunday and I find it harder each year to keep track of everything. Monday through Thursday I attend evening classes at Georgia Highlands College. I leave home around 6:00 p.m. to get to class on time, which is dinner time at our house. My mother -in- law, Elaine is staying with us temporally and if it was not for her we would not have dinner on these nights. Gavin has Cub Scout meeting on Tuesday and bible study on Wednesday. Between Andy, Elaine, and myself we make the schedule work and as for the housework it never ends…I did mention I have children, right?
Andy and I keep Valentine's Day simple, no flowers or jewelry required only chocolate and lots of it. I usually gain an extra pound or two around this month and did I mention Gavin's annual Valentine's Day party at school. You can imagine what type of food I'm eating at that party; cookies and more cookies.
Nine years of marriage is special and I look forward to celebrating it. Andy and I will most likely celebrate our anniversary with a date night due to our busy schedules. We plan on taking a trip for our ten year wedding anniversary. Where to? We haven't decided yet. I do know one thing; as a couple Andy and I balance each other out!
