Katie and Jason Weeks have always enjoyed hosting parties. When they celebrate their children’s birthdays, they look forward to surrounding their kids with friends. They don’t look forward to adding dozens of new toys to their children’s collection. So, from the beginning, the Weeks decided their children’s parties would evolve around opportunities to give back.
I am definitely a planner. I’m the friend that schedules the get-together, makes the restaurant reservation, figures out where to park, reviews the menu prior, and then looks forward to the outing – and, of course, sends text reminders prior. My family gives me a hard time when I book my flight to visit six months ahead of time. My hometown has a small airport and there are plenty of flights. My brothers say, “Six months? That’s cutting it close. We’ll try and move our schedules around for your visit.”
