Best Early Birthday Ever!


Captures his personality perfectly.
I’ve written about JT before – my amazing travel buddy that I met while studying abroad in England, and who, aside from my family, is the only person who has truly seen the depth of my moodiness before I figured out what was going on (like, I’m talking before meds!) – and still stuck around. Whenever I talk about him, that’s one of the main things I mention. Very few people would put up with the shit I pulled!

One of the first trips we took together in Scotland - don't we look great?!
I’m so lucky to have him in my life and to count him as one of those people who will make me laugh, have my back, and no doubt make any endeavour we take on an adventure. This past weekend was no exception.

My birthday is in July, but since JT will be out of the country on the date (and before that, studying for the BAR – which he will ROCK), this weekend was an early birthday celebration. I didn’t know what it would entail or where we were going – he planned it all out – including the phenomenal meals that he made FROM SCRATCH (yes, ladies, he cooks) – but when we arrived at “Activity 1”, I wanted to cry.

It was a shooting range. A range where you shoot. GUNS. How did he know? By an offhand mention of it on my blog. Are you kidding me? Amazing, right? Unfortch, we couldn’t get in because something broke down in the range, but I was able to soak up the atmosphere, the men (oh, those MEN), and look at all the guns. I was in heaven – redneck heaven (my favourite kind). We’ll go back for his early birthday (though how I can ever top the surprise of that is beyond me).

 
Friends forever *love*
Activity 2 – a back up in case we needed it – was nothing less than horseback riding. He planned gun shooting AND horseback riding. Dear god. I can’t even make this post about anything but how much I love this guy. I don’t quite know why I got so lucky to have a friend like him, but I’ll be forever grateful that I do!

“Babies get colic.” “But we don’t put babies down…” – Talking about how colic is fatal for horses. A snapshot of his humour. I never stop laughing!

JT, this blog is all for and about you. Thank you for being you!

Love,

M
