It's been a rough week or so, but today I wanted to get back to the happy. You know why? Because a few minutes ago it became the best day of the whole year for me. My anniversary. Oh, and also my birthday. As of today, May 12th, Raven and I have been together for 4 years. And I am 26 years old.
I love that two such special days coincide. It makes is basically impossible to forget either event (something I'm prone to in both past relationships and past birthdays). It also means more reason to celebrate and less focus on only me. I have always enjoyed my birthday, but the more of them I have the less I want to focus solely on myself that day. My birthday is always an excuse to spend time with my friends and people I love. There is nothing better than spending it with my partner. No better gift than a reminder that we have enjoyed another year together.
But enough drivel! I'm sure you don't come here to read that. Instead I'm going to share our birthday/anniversary plans. Tomorrow (after we sleep, tomorrow) there will be delicious breakfast to be made and consumed. Then we will probably hang about the house and play some games (I'm itching for Dominion). We have also made plans to see Avengers at last - we're hoping for less people on a Tuesday afternoon while most folks are at work and school. Raven is a darling and picked out some delicious food to make for dinner - though we'll share the cooking itself. It's less fun to observe. I'm going to make raspberry chocolate cupcakes - an endeavor I am fully looking forward to. Also looking forward to making some creative iced tea - mint honey green tea with some very special ice cubes that we prepped tonight.

We will also do gifts tomorrow and I'm excited about the way we're doing that too. Raven already picked up some neat stuff for me at thrift shops - mostly apartment decorations. She also bought me some amazing stuff at our local comic book shop (which we frequent enough to be recognized as "regulars" - something that pleases us both to no end). Our anniversary gifts will be a joint endeavor though and I think that's a wonderful idea. We're going to get some silly, but useful gadgets or decor for our apartment. And I'm pretty giddy about picking out something new and neat to help keep our house neat, our kitchen well stocked, or our apartment in order. I guess I really am getting older. The only gifts that could make me more excited would be books. Or maybe socks...
Best wishes,
Owl
