Counting my Blessings

Yep, it's been a bit.   I have had a lot to process in the last week.  On Saturday February 28, I was blessed to be surprised by my husband, friends and family with a celebration of 40 years.  Yep....40!


I have spent the last week thinking about it.

A week!

Number one for hubby to be able to pull this off without telling me about it is amazing!  It also humbled me to no end for everyone to turn out to celebrate with me.  I had an amazing time as evidenced by the pic that Sam Ritter snapped of Brian and me!

Thanks to everyone that joined us for a great evening and for all those that wished me a Happy Birthday!  The next 40 are sure to be one hell of a ride!

Birthdays!

It is the end of February....it is cold, windy and almost miserable at times.  I am ready for spring (and baseball season)!


That being said this last week of February brings about some celebrations at our house.  What a way to end this month of cold, snow and ice!

Today is #40 for me.  This brings some crazy emotions for me.  Most of all is disbelief!  How the hell did I just turn 40?????   In reality, I don't feel much different than I did yesterday, after all it is just a number!  Today will be a great day.  I will make sure of it!   It will involve coffee, books, yarn, and my lovely family!   Cuz, that is something I didn't have when I was 20......


In related news my dear darling daughter will be turning 7.   Now, I think this is what has got me down a bit.  Not my #40, but her #7!  When did my baby get so big????  She really is a joy and has us in stitches most days, she is hilarious and will definitely tell you the way it is!
