I had the best birthday week celebrating with family and friends. I feel deeply loved. Brian bought me this fun T-shirt, here's to turning 40! I really loved my 30s, I believe I will love my 40s even more!
The verse that God kept bringing to my attention on my birthday was Psalm 118: 24.
"This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."
On my birthday I woke up to Brian and the kids making me a delicious breakfast. They were so excited to give me my birthday cards! After that, I enjoyed a half day at the spa. I relaxed and had a facial, a massage, and got my hair done. It was lovely!! Brian, the kids, and I went out to eat at our favorite, The Watershed restaurant in Osceola, WI. We went hiking by Cascade falls and then at Taylor's Falls. We ended the night with pumpkin cake with my Dad and watched Anne of Green Gables. Anne of Green Gables was my Mom's favorite movie and watching it seemed like the perfect way to honor her on my 40th birthday. It was the first time that Brian and the kids saw it and they loved it. It was fun to laugh at all of the funny parts with my Dad!
I am blessed.
The beautiful flowers Brian gave to me.
Yesterday evening Brian threw me a surprise party! He showed me that this was the invite he sent out to everyone. I felt so celebrated and loved!
He had this on display at the party.
My surprised face! Ben and Eric burst open champagne and everyone yelled surprise as I walked in!
It was such a fun night! We had food, drinks, a bonfire, and many great laughs! Brian did an amazing job coordinating, he is the best!!! Everyone who was invited, was able to come. Karen, Kristi, Ben, Shane and Anna Long, Erik and Anna Vest, Erik and Angela Wellman, Jenna Sandmann, Matt and Amanda Schlenker, Shane and Tracy Swedeen, and not pictured because they came a little later, Eric and Laura Wegener, and Patrick and Jenny Crowe. I fell so blessed!!!
