Jonathon's birthday is a curse and a blessing...
Now, before you jump to conclusions about this statement, let me explain myself. First of all, have any of you had to count to remember what number cooresponds with the month of your birthday, or ever been confused which number goes first, the day or the month. In fact, it isn't even consistent among all of the forms and applications there are... and believe me, there are many. So, for example, my birthday is March 8, so I can write it 3/8 or sometimes (in weird cases) I write 8 day of 3 month or something weird like that. Or, maybe it may just be me that gets momentarily confused by this, or at least has to pause to think about it a bit. ANYWAY, Jonathon's birthday is a blessing because it is December 12, which is often written 12/12. This way, he never mixes up which number is the month or day. He writes it the same either way...What's more I never have to remember the day... I just know it is the same number as the month, and I can remember that his birthday is in Dec.
Now, Jonathon's birthday is also a curse. This is because his birthday always lands on or near finals. BUMMER. Well, this year was no different. So, we decided to celebrate his birthday a week later... TODAY!

I kept asking him what he wanted for his birthday cake/celebration, but I could never really get a straight answer out of him. He just told me to do whatever sounded good to me, which was kinda nice. See, I don't really like cake, or pie, or many other really sweet desserts, but I do like ICECREAM! I knew if I baked him a cake (which I would gladly do, it sounds fun) he would either have to eat the whole thing, or it would go to waste. So, I decided this year that we would have icecream pie! My favorite! So I made it up, stuck some candles in it, and WALLAH! Happy Birthday Jonathon!
