In a span of 4 days, specifically the 8th-12th of April, four of my favoritest people in the world were born.
While my wallet says “whoa” my heart screams “yay!” because ladies and gentlemen, these peoples are so money it’s not even worth checking my bank statement.
My bestie, Meagan, and I met in high school. We spent many a morning late for class due to my inability to relate to a clock. But during those drives, classes skipped at the coffee shop, jaunts to the mall, and whatever else we did as teenagers (?), we became very close. She’s one of those friends you can go weeks without talking to (which we do too often) and always pick up where we left off. Since we both teach elementary school there’s an added bond. Meg Rocks. She’s like a sister to me. Which is why I wish I was there in person to celebrate her big 3-0 on the 8th. I will make it to visit soon, though!!
My eldest niece, Eleanor, turned FIVE on the 9th. Can we pause for a minute? When did that squishy little baby get to be so big?! There will always be a huge place in my heart for her. Eleanor rocks my world and always make me laugh. Like when she called to wish Mike a happy birthday (they share a bday!), sang to him, and then said, “Now you sing to me!” Aunt Vicki Cool Dude loves her Little E.
I know when I married Mike we promised to help each other in sickness and health and all that good stuff. But lately he’s been such a rockstar I don’t even know how to express it. While my head decides to dish out weird bouts of pain, Mike consoles me and takes care of me, without missing a beat. I loved celebrating his birthday (once in March and again on April 9th), because he deserves so much. I am so very lucky & so very in love.

we attend a conference on blogging together]
Recently I met Nicci through the interweb words and our personalities clicked. She’s crafty (visit her shop!), funny, nerdy, smart, and also wants to be a teacher! There are times when we can be found having a text, email, and tweet conversation all at the same time. We’re that cool. Fate decided the 12th needed to be a stressful day for her, instead of a fun birthday, so I hope this bday weekend is kinder to her!
So you see, April has some pretty stellar people born into it!
I’m so glad they are all a part of my lives and I get to celebrate their existence.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Meg, Eleanor, Mike & Nicci!!
Note: Vicki is no longer accepting friends or relatives with birthdays in April. Please apply for May or August, where the ratio of people’s births to dates is currently low.
