THE BIG 4-0

I entered a new decade....and frankly, I am kind of excited about it and looking forward to rocking it. Thankfully, my family and friends did a PHENOMENAL job of doing so many thoughtful, kind, funny, and truly glorious things to help me feel so loved -- I am truly humbled.

The night before I got to go out to dinner with my sister and my parents. Thursday night my lovely husband cooked a wonderful dinner for all of us, gave me the MOST amazing present of three rings with our kids names on them....and then literally blew me away. He - in conspiracy with two of my friends -- created a video montage based on individual videos sent from friends and family throughout my life and from our children. The 15 minute video is love wrapped up in a video form and it had me smiling, crying, laughing, and just glowing from all the kindness. It was, one of the NICEST and kindest and most thoughtful gifts ever.
