our tradition.

Six years ago, when Jeremy and I were "just friends", we went to Atlanta for our first Braves game. I LOVEEE baseball, so at the time the present was very thoughtful! We drove to Atlanta for the day. Jeremy got tickets for me, Valerie, and himself. He planned the whole day. He even got me a Braves hat to wear to the game. It was a sweet present. This past weekend I joked that he bought the tickets for my birthday hoping that I would just fall in love with him. He replied with "I didn't hope, I knew you would."

Since that time a lot has changed. He was right. We are now married and every year for my birthday we carry the same excitement for the trip that we did on our first drive to Turner Field! We have made it into a couples tradition. Jason wasn't able to go on our first trip because he was working at Asbury Hills for the summer, but every year since he has been there with us.

No trip is the same, although we do try to keep the usuals: Ikea, H&M (poor guys), Turner Field, and occasionally Stone Mountain. I love my birthday tradition and I love spending it with my 3 favorite people!

Happy 21st Birthday, Valerie! Love you! Here's to many more Atlanta visits... one day it will include our children! YIKES! We are growing up! :)
