Usually, birthdays are amazing, exciting moments for me. This year my boys made me gorgeous cards and put them on my pillow to find when I woke up. My parents and in-laws sent my mad money to buy something special. My hubby asked and asked and asked what I wanted for my birthday dinner.

And then maybe….just maybe…I’ll enjoy this last year of my thirties so much that 40 will rock!
