Today, Kim and I celebrated our birthdays together! My birthday was just on the 30th, and hers is on the 28th. And we’re both 25, got it?? 😉 She was away on holidays over her birthday, and I was at a family gathering on mine, and then headed to Edmonton the next day. Weeks ago, we booked this day as our birthdate.
She came over around 1:30, and we got ready together. This was easily the BEST part of the date. We holed up in the en suite and played makeup for about three hours. Brady brought us iced lattes and nachos, We had music going in the background, and we did our makeup and visited the afternoon away. We took a break partway through to exchange gifts, and then primped over our hair a bit. (Mine looked like it always does. Whoops.) We got dressed and ready, and headed out!
We drove to the city and shared a few dishes of asian food for supper. It was all delicious, and over far too quickly. In our true form, we left the restaurant and hit the nearby Starbucks right away. We took our coffee and headed to the Safeway in the mall to find some dessert.
Once we had chosen our desserts (eclairs and cream puffs) and bought Brady deodorant (not because he’s naturally stinky, but because he ran out) we grabbed a double double for hubs and headed back home.
Brady was feeding Solly, and the big kids had been down for about fifteen minutes only. I ducked in and got my hugs and kisses, as they were still all awake. Then the three of us planted ourselves in the living room with dessert and coffee, and visited until shortly after 10:00 when Kim headed home.
It had been such a nice day, and evening. I love our friends. I feel like we can just be us with our friends, and they can safely be themselves. Kim and I literally hung out in the bathroom almost all afternoon, and then we celebrated our birthdays in my living room, with yummy treats from the grocery store. It was so relaxed, and it felt like home.
Happy 25th birthday, Kim 😉 I hope we have many more years of celebrating together ahead!
