I hope you had a happy birthday, Jennifer. I love you with all of me, and I always will.
Adam spoiled me rotten! AGAIN! The thoughtfulness of his gifts is immeasurable and surprising. For my birthday Adam got me the movie "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit", the next Star Wars book in the series I began at Christmas, a couple of Pern novels that I didn't have yet (now I am VERY close to having all the Pern books), a sand-filled lizard to replace the one I lost while we were dating, and the best of them all: A First Edition of DragonsDawn with a bookplate signed by Anne McCaffery herself!
The best part of that gift is the reason why he got it for me. When I first met Adam, I was invited to go to Park City with him and his family. I brought with me two books. DragonsDawn was one of them and Adam has remembered that this whole time. On top of that he knew that DragonsDawn is my second, and occasionally first, favorite Pern book of all time.
Even though Adam rolls his eyes at my preference for the fantasy genre, he remembered and got me one of the most thoughtful gifts ever. (I would have to say that the poem and rose he brought me while we were dating was THE most thoughtful, but that is another story.)
Oh...and he got me a pair of jeans and a Star Wars t-shirt too, but I knew about those on account that I picked them out for myself.
All in all, turning 24 was wonderful. Getting older isn't so bad when you have someone like Adam to love and be loved by.
