Thanks s.e.! My birthday was actually yesterday and I had a great day. We got fresh snow for the first time in awhile. Nick surprised me by inviting friends over for cake after a delicious dinner. Elias told everyone he saw at school that it was his Mom's birthday and Olive even wrapped up a Christmas ribbon, all by herself, and gave it to me as a b-day gift. On Friday Nick and I get to go down to Seward, without the kids, who will be in Palmer with their grandparents. Really, I couldn't be happier:)
Hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday- I cannot believe you are 40!!!
Can't wait to see your parents in another few months when they go to Florida and you guys are going this year too! I know they will be so excited to have you all there.
Great pics
Great pictures of you! Glad you will get some time away with just Nick! I turn 40 this year too but somehow in my head I'm perpetually 27. Wishing you wonderful things this year!
How did you get to forty? on lots of sheer guts, laughter, tenderness, love and only occasional forays into self-pity and rage, to prove you're human. You rock!
Happy Bday.
Happy birthday:) 40 seems so young, enjoy. hope you have a great day.
