Okay – so many of us know all the juicy details in regards to the day all the stars lined up and was filled with 9. This will be Abigail’s last birthday without a baby in tow. Birthday’s being married are WAY different from when you’re dating someone… I mean, seriously – like you have to really work at being creative when you’re married because you’re going to be with that person the rest of your life (which is really awesome, but I’m running out of ideas for her birthday folks!).

That being the case, this year Abby turned 27 (here are some facts about the number 27) but she also was having her birthday on 09/09/09. Thus, what makes the day interesting has to do with the number 9… and of course here are a few facts about the number 9 and Abigail’s birthday:

  2. Abby is 27: 2+7=9
  4. 09/09/09 is the 252nd day of the year…2+5+2=9
  6. 27/9 = 3 which is also the SQRT(9)
  8. The number of letters in ‘Wednesday’ equals 9 (which was the day her birthday was on)
  10. The number of letters in ‘September’ equals 9 (which is the month her birthday is in)
  12. I bought her 9 gifts, see below. (I’m broke… can anyone send me a dollar??)
  14. We went to see District 9 (UN-BELIEVABLE… Chris Johnson come back soon!)
  16. 09/09/09 will be the last single digit month/day/year combo of our lifetime (01/01/2101 is the next on the list).
  18. Here are 9 facts about 9:

9 is the largest single digit number in the decimal system.
9 is the smallest odd number that isn’t a prime, except for 1 and all the negative odd numbers.
9 is the smallest odd square integer, except for 1.
9 is 6 upside down, which means that 9/9/09 upside down is 60/6/6, somewhat like the number of the beast.
9 is the number of planets if you count Pluto.
9 times 9 is 81, and 8 plus 1 is 9.
9 is the number of the best cloud.
9 is the official integer of the Beatles White album.
9 is the number of fingers on an inattentive wood shop worker.
