I can't believe that is me.
I'm 40 today.
Is it just me or does that sound old? Like I'm supposed to be a real adult now. Eeek!
You know you are old when you now understand what your parents meant when they said "I don't feel that old." :-)
But really I have to say 40 is great! I'm more physically, mentally and spiritually healthy then I have ever been. I have an awesome husband and wonderful kids. And great friends. What more could a girl want?!
I certainly couldn't ask for a better 40th birthday party!
Friday morning I dropped the kids off at Nana's house for the day so I could go get pampered before my birthday party that evening. :-)
I met Kirstin at University Village where we had appointments at SWINK Style Bar.
Before
After
Thank you Dennis & Myrna for the gift card to SWINK!
We had a fun time!
While we were there, I got a call from Elissa & Nana to tell me that Zach had thrown up. Poor guy! He said his tummy wasn't feeling good. I think it is the antibiotics we are on. Elissa was just worried that she wasn't going to be able to come to the party. She wanted to make sure that I would still pick her up. :-)
After our hair appointment we did a little shopping and then had lunch at Piatti Restaurant. Such yummy Italian food! When we came out of the restaurant it was drizzling, so we grabbed a UVillage umbrella to keep our new do's looking good.
I headed back to Auburn to see my little boy for a little bit while Nana ran a couple of errands. He was in good spirits, but was asleep when I left again. He definitely wasn't feeling so good.
Then I went and had an express mani/pedi - courtesy of Nana - Thank you!
I got home just before Darin to get changed and primped.
I'm all ready to go!
We picked up Elissa and headed to ACME Bowl in Tukwila. A bowling party may sound a little cheesy, but it turned out to be the most amazing birthday party! Courtesy of my fabulous husband who planned it all himself. You did really great Honey! I loved every minute of it!
Thank you to my family and friends that came to help me celebrate! I had such a fun time with you!
And an extra special Thank You to Holly for being my photographer for the evening! I really appreciate you taking the time to capture my special evening.
Here are a few pictures that I took that night.
My fav....Costco white cake w/cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting.
A Mexican fiesta. It was SO yummy!
My sparkly girl!
Here is a little snippet of Elissa & Symantha dancing. They were entertaining us all night. Elissa felt like such a cool big girl! :-)
I really suck at bowling, but I did get a strike on my last turn. :-)
It really was such a fun, fun evening!
Sunday evening my kiddos gave me this for my birthday.
It is their birthstones....amethyst & emerald with a diamond in the middle for forever.
Darin made an observation that my two favorite colors are green & purple. Funny.
Thank you Honey for making me feel celebrated and loved and spoiled!
I love you!
