After months of deliberation, we are having a PARTY for Jett's first birthday. Just to clarify, deliberation means me being indecisive while Todd has clearly already decided how he wants to do something and is waiting on me for support and approval. I may be the outgoing one in the relationship, but Todd loves to throw a party!!!
I just wasn't sure I was up for it. We have a small space right now and it seemed to overwhelming to figure out how to accommodate all of our friends and family. 3 weeks before Jett's birthday i decided WE, meaning Todd and I, needed to celebrate our first year having Jett.
I mean, throw us a bone (or party)!!! We were evacuated only days before Jett's due date, due to a fire, from a house that is 35o square feet, no bedrooms, hardly enough room for our crib (we threw it in the shed months ago) and NO BATHROOM that is situated directly adjacent to my parents!!! That's right..., you read it right.... NO BATHROOM!!! Somehow, we still manage to look like a perfectly mediocre American family when we show up in public. 365+ days, a newborn, 350 square feet, no television and we still love each other and our little man. Sounds to me like reason to celebrate!!!!
So, this Sunday, we will have our closest friends and family up to our property for a birthday bash!!! Todd is doing all the cooking (whew!) and I've got the cake under control (kinda)!!
Here's hoping for beautiful weather (otherwise we may have to send some friends home)!!!
