The Peavy Family Blog: Birthday Wishes from Afar

January 31st came and went much more calmly at the Peavy household this year. We had to settle for hoping Drake was being celebrated appropriately while in Oxford and it sounds like he was. I even was able to squeeze in a 45 minute conversation with him into my day - that’s about as close as it gets to spending time with him. We caught up on his fraternity and his classes and it was just nice to hear his voice on his day.

Not only did he receive the cookie tray for us, he received a cake from his roommate’s parents and his fraternity brothers. He was unfortunately unable to go to dinner with his roommate (who shares the same birthday) and his family, but I was happy to know that people were thinking of him.

We spent an hour of our evening attending a presentation on his new fraternity which I suppose is an appropriate way to spend his birthday in some ways. We’re learning about what is in store for him as he enters the next phase of his life.

And while he wasn’t here with us, I know I was thinking about him and the many wonderful birthdays we spent with him through the years - his first birthday cake, gymnastics party, bowling, hockey game, climbing places, skiing, Top Golf and of course, The Melting Pot. Here’s to many more memorable birthdays son. We love you.
