I'm surprised I haven't posted about this already, and I suppose I should since it's a pretty big deal. I now have two birthdays per year instead of one. Today was one of them. Happy birthday, me!
It all started with me whining about how I don't get any presents for the 10.5 months between my original birthday and Christmas. Allison suggested I move my birthday to the summer. This was a solution that had never occurred to me before, so I considered it. After much deliberation, I realized that if I can move my birthday, certainly I can also add a birthday. And so I added August 6th (exactly six months from my original birthday) as my second birthday.
It took a while to convince Allison that such a move was viable, but she's been very supportive throughout the processes. You'd probably be surprised how easy it is to add a birthday--very little paperwork involved.
We went to Izzy's to celebrate with some of our friends. It was actually a joint celebration as it is also our friend Katie's (only) birthday. I received three amazing birthday presents: Allison got me the extended editions of all three Lord of the Rings movies, Allison's parents got me a ridiculously cute baseball piggy bank that I've had my eyes on for a while, and Chris Chambers got me a hilariously awesome Darth Vader bobblehead. Thank you everyone, I love my presents!
For those of you that missed my birthday, no worries. I didn't do a very good job of spreading the word. Sorry!
