Forty6.

What an amazing, fun weekend.

it was my birthday weekend.

i celebrated forty6.

not that bad really.

 

this is what forty6 looks like.

i have decided forty6 is going to be a great year.

i mean why the hell not?

age is just a number anyway right?

i have an 84 year old mother who has the energy of a 60 year old.

even with a new knee and hip.

she just keeps on moving.

going.

living life to the fullest.

so forty6 isn't that bad.

not bad at all.

i am young at heart.

this weekend was filled with celebrations.

a lunch with my Mom & Daddy.

 

it was so great to see my Dad up and out of the house.

{thank you for all your prayers. He is doing so much better.}

hanging out with one of my dearest and oldest friends.

Anj and i have been friends since Jr. High.

it was fun to spend the night with her and her sister Jube.

we laughed.

a lot.

 
had a great time with them.

Sunday was my actual birthday.

9-11.

after the events of 9-11 i feel like the day is a somber one.

it is still my birthday.

but i try to do my "celebrating" the day before.

9-11 will never be the same for any of us.

it is a day to remember.

so yesterday i kept it pretty low key.

got up and went on a long walk.

reminisced about the past forty5 years.

life in general.

cleared my head.

i have big plans for forty6.

for some reason i know it's going to be an amazing year.

so yesterday was a day to remember.

i spent it with the most important people in my life.

my kids.

minus meg who is in Hawaii.

{missed her}

we just hung out.

Brooke colored my hair.

the boys just chilled.

it was good.

brooke cut max's hair.

threw in a little color.

we all laughed.

talked.

just were together.

perfect.

so many of you wished me a happy birthday.

sent beautiful wishes my way.

thank you.

what a gift.

being able to be connected.

have great family.

friends.

so here's to forty6.

it's going to kick.

this week is going to be crazy busy.

off to TCC Wednesday to be on a Pitch Slam with two dear friends.

Tim Holtz and Jayme Shepherd.

then it's off to Scrapfest.

the Archivers event.

my first official with Bazzill.

can't wait to see so many old friends.

new friends.

happy Monday.

it's going to be a great week.

kiss kiss

Margie - so glad you had a good birthday. My wedding anniversary is September 11 so I totally "get" what you mean about the day itself being somewhat somber.

I also work at Archiver's and will be at the MOA on Saturday. On Sunday I am taking 5 classes (two of them are Bazzill classes) so maybe we will meet. Have a great trip!
