Birthday Love

I’m a huge birthday fan. I love ‘em. When I was growing up, my parents did a great job making my birthday a “season,” not just a day. (I might have been really really loved.) So, when other people have birthdays, I get very excited. This excitement for my coworkers’ birthdays is translated into a handmade card that everyone in the office signs, and we give the birthday coworker the card and a dessert on that day. This has been going on ever since I started working at my current job, and everyone tells me they love it.

I guess you could say I’m the unofficial card-maker/birthday planner for our department. I actually enjoy it!

Well, my birthday is this Saturday, and my coworkers did something very sweet for me today. Instead of passing around a card and signing it, each person made their own card for me and wrote a special note! Carolyn, the coworker that thought of it, said, “You always make cards for us, so we thought we’d all make one for you.”

Are you crying yet because I was! Isn’t that sweet?? I also got an awesome carrot cake with icing made from scratch! I love my sweet office! And, I’m so impressed with their creativity!!
