Today is my boyfriends 21st birthday so I want to start by saying a huge happy birthday to him and wishing him the best day ever!
Despite living in different cities, we aim to see each other as much as possible. So I was always going to try my best to be there for him on his special day, no matter how busy I was!
As this was the first present I have ever bought Jamie (and it was his 21st birthday), I found it really difficult trying to decide what to get him. Of course I know what he likes and what he doesn't, but I wanted to get the perfect present. Me being me, I thought/panicked about this months ahead of time! I like being organised, what can I say! 😜 I wanted to get him something that was meaningful and special, and something he would always remember.
In the end, I planned a trip to Edinburgh. Edinburgh is such a special place for us both, as it's the place we first met. During our first time together, we came across The Caledonian, an amazing 5 star hotel which looked so luxurious and sophisticated. Everytime we passed it, we joked that we'd stay there next time. So, for Jamie's birthday, I decided to book to stay there for 3 nights.
Because December is such a busy time for us both, with birthdays, uni exams, Christmas etc, it was hard to set aside three days where we'd be able to really enjoy ourselves and celebrate properly without rushing home for some sort of event or other occassion. In the end, I decided to book it for New Years Eve. This way, we could celebrate Jamie's 21st birthday and New Years Eve, together in a beautiful and special city. We will go to the NYE street parade and hopefully have a lovely dinner somewhere in the city. I really can't wait. Although I didn't get Jamie a gift he could physically open, I'm hoping he enjoys our trip and that the moments and memories we share, will forever remind him of his 21st birthday.
Fingers crossed he loves his present!
Right now, we are off to celebrate and enjoy the special day!
Enjoy your day!
