Lordy, Lordy look who's 40!

I know it has been A LONG time since I have blogged. I would love to have some great excuse but the truth is I just haven't felt like it (or to borrow from my British friends "I just couldn't be bothered). Please don't be too mad at me...I will try to catch up. I will start with the easiest post.

You know I remember my parents being 40. I never thought of them as old at that age, but I didn't think of them as young either :-) (sorry guys). I wasn't looking to forward to turning 40 because there were goals that I knew I would not be meeting. Well, I guess you just keep trying.

So here is the run down of the celebrations - while we were skiing Sarah made me a cake (while I snored on the couch) and gave me slippers & a book which became my newest obsession (TWILIGHT - awesome read & movie). Kevin promises to buy me a clock during our trip to Germany in March & the girls keep reminding him so that one should be good as well.

But the best surprise of all came from my wonderful friends in the Thursday Bible Study group. I was hosting the 2nd session for this book and had no idea that they had connived behind my back. Deena shows up dressed like an old lady, scooting along very slowly, and asked was this the old ladies study group. And then the others continued to show up. They gave me purple balloons, a purple plant, an awesome cake, a gorgeous set of pictures of Stamford (I was so wanting one of these too - yea!), and tons of laughs. I was so surprised & honored. THANK YOU to all the wonderful friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah being the scrapbook-er that she is put the following together for me. I hope you enjoy!
