On March 27th this year I turned 40..... wow....that really weird to say much less write! But I have to say it was a VERY eventful birthday! LOTS of people were involved in making it truly special! Starting with the wonderfully decorated kitchen with some of my favorite treats!
My family knows me well and knows that chocolate is a sure fire way to my heart! And Dr Pepper and Oreo's just made it even sweeter!
I had to work on my actual birthday and my co-workers sang to me and gave me a Olive Garden gift card! Super sweet! And when I came out to my car in the parking lot this is what I found! Some of my besties had decided that car decoration were in order! I loved the frame & mustache on the driver window! So clever!
Yes I had to drive around this way for a couple days until I could get to a car wash to get it cleaned off! It was funny!
This was so funny! And I only had two people honk- one was Carter (not a surprise there) and the other was my friend DM. She caught me the next day leaving school and was ever so happy to oblige!
Lisa sent me these beautiful flowers! It was such a big surprise- she doesn't usually do things like that!
Then the Friday after my BDay we had a dinner party here at my house. I invited over a lovely group of ladies that are truly amazing friends. They insisted I put 40 candles on the cake! It looked hilarious! It was literally ON FIRE! HAHAHA! During the party Kelly handed me a large gift and when I opened it I discovered it was a scrapbook that my Mom had reached out to have made. She contacted all my close friends and had them make pages! Even my family-including my boys- made pages! I couldn't read it until after everyone had left. The messages were so sweet and made me cry! My Mom's pages were truly incredible! Pictures of me from all stages in my life and quotes she had gathered from family. It was priceless! What a wonderful and thoughtful gift! I will cherish it!
I am so grateful for an amazing family and thoughtful and dear friends! My life wouldn't be the same without them in it! Thanks to everyone for making my 40th birthday memorable in such a positive way!
