27 Birthdays

There is no limit to my wife's creativity when it comes to special occasions, especially birthdays. Not only does she take the time to do things that let us know that our birthday is important to her, but she also thinks of creative things that demonstrate just how much thought she has put into making our birthdays special.

For my 27th birthday (a work day, unfortunately), I woke up to my three favorite breakfast foods: french toast, sausage, and whipped cream.

Peaches are also my favorite fruit, but I don't consider them a breakfast food. :) I think she used her Cricut cutter machine to cut out the "27" and then sprinkled powdered sugar over the top.

When I went back upstairs to get ready for work, I couldn't very well get to the sink to do much.

In the backpack that I take to work, I found two different treats. First, a couple of bags with 27 of my two favorite candies.

and second, 27 chocolate chip cookies (you guessed it, my favorite).

Midway through my workday, I walked up to my desk to find the following envelope (delivered to my desk by a mutual friend that works for the same company I do):

27 love notes. Some were thoughtful. Some were funny. Some were drawings from my 2 year-old. All were sincere, and all meant a great deal to me because she took the time to express her love in a way that required a little more time and effort than just saying the words...although she did that, too. :)
