I just turned 30. And to celebrate Brian whisked me away to the wood’s of Cook Forest for a little R&R. At first I was hoping his gift would be more useful… more practical like underwear and socks to replace the dingy items in my panty drawer or a new yoga outfit I could wear when I teach. But a getaway in the woods… Really? Not Brian’s style at all. So I knew something was up.
When I asked him about his choice of gift he explained that he wanted to honor my year of nothing new and give me an experience rather than more “stuff”. And he made the right decision, the weekend was magical and just what I needed. It really became a birthday of presence rather than presents!
(If you're interested – a few of my more practical girlfriends did give me the priceless gift of new underwear, but my socks still have holes!)
