This is 40!

 Starting your birthday like this...

 Knowing you're never too old for stuffed animals...

Loving the sentiment behind those gnomes and getting lots of jewelry galore...

Opening an envelope and finding your perfect day on paper...

and the perfect note of love...

Having your doorbell ring and the postman hands you a big parcel...

with the beauties inside that show you how much you are thought of.

A free birthday drink at Starbucks, so you go big!  Really big! Extra shots of espresso right there!

Taking a selfie - or multiple - because well...you can! 

Going to your favorite restaurant and eating spaghetti with cheese...

Lots of cheese...

Lots and lots of cheese!

 

Feeling blessed...so very blessed. 

This is 40.

This is my favorite day of the year - 

the beautiful sweet words on instagram & facebook...

the text messages filled with awesome birthday greetings... 

Everything, just everything made me happy, had me cry happy tears, and made me feel loved.

So very loved.

This is 40.

Awesomely, fearfully, beautifully, wonderfully, lovingly made 40!
