Yesterday I turned the big 4-0.
I swear it seems like just yesterday my college roommates were throwing me a surprise party for my 21st birthday!
And now I’m 40.
How on earth did this happen??

I had a wonderful day and felt so loved by
family and dear friends.
My sweet friend Molly sent all the way from Reno, a birthday package filled with confetti filled balloons, a banner and my big 4-0 Mylar balloons. She wanted to make sure my house got decorated since she wasn’t there to do it herself.
My darling friends who I have been friends with since pre-kids surprised me at breakfast with:
40 Polar Pops from Circle K
40 Diet Dr. Peppers
and
40 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
ALL of my VERY FAVORITE THINGS!
Isn’t that so clever?? And sweet?
This gift from one of my bestie’s in Florida {Joe’s cousin, who actutally introduced us!} made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! And then LAUGH some more!!!
In case you’re wondering…she made me a tool belt {don’t ask…} and it says ‘Grab a Hump and Hang On for another 40 Year Humpathon.’
I died.
I used to work as a DJ at a radio station called ‘Camel Country’ and our motto was “Grab a Hump and Hang On”
True story.
And we’ll never forget it.๐
Two of my sweetest friends spoiled me on my birthday eve with dinner at Oregano’s {my fave} and a giant basket filled with Rae Dunn stuff {another fave!}
Birthday lunch at Someburro’s with my parents and sis.
Did you know they give you $10 free credit there on your bday?
We finished the day off by driving up the mountains to stay in a cabin for the weekend with Joe’s family.
My sweet mother-in-law had this waiting for me….
Of course it wasn’t already eaten, haha. We devoured it so fast I forgot to take a pic until after the damage was done.

I know that some of you have sent me birthday wishes via social media and I am OH SO excited to read them all. I seriously can’t wait.
I am participating in a 10 day social media fast right now. For me that means…no Instagram, Facebook or Twitter until Thursday.
I can do hard things.

THANK YOU to everyone who has made me feel SO VERY loved on my special day!
