If you get the chance, you should turn 46!

If I could do it all over again, I would. Daily. 

Turning 46 wasn't so bad. 

Seriously. I recommend it to all of you. 

A few of our East Coast gang friends came over for the weekend to help me celebrate. 

Friday night Coach cooked a gorgeous dinner for us....good thing we stayed in, it rained like you would not believe. 

Seriously....you wouldn't. 

Saturday night, the grown ups...heading out. 

  We had a beautiful dinner overlooking the gulf of Mexico. 

We witnessed a wedding AND a marriage proposal.
And...I forgot my camera....the sunset was amazeballs. 

See? Freakin' camera phone doesn't have enough flash.  Oye. 

When Heather, PJ and Superboy visit, there is always a lot of wine laughter. 

I'm talking the burning calories kind of laughter.

 See? Mouths wide open....catching flies joy.   

Little superboy is growing up quick-He'll be 4 next week!
I'm waiting for fins to sprout on him...quite the swimmer. 

 We had a great weekend with them; they make me feel so special!

Come Tuesday, the actual day of my birth I had a few things planned.

I worked in the garden in the morning, got a haircut, had lunch with the Coach, went to my favorite store (Home Depot!) and then dinner with the family. 

We ate in a clamshell for dinner!
Yes, I was Ariel the Little Mermaid for the night...notice you can't see my fins. 

The girls spoiled me with sparkly goodies. {I love that they shop with their own money!}

My family bestowed me with gifts, flowers a fruit bouquet and well wishes....I'm lucky.
The Coach surprised me with sweet cards a personalized poem and a weekend away at a deluxe resort.

There were so many flowers in the house that I quoted my Grandma:
"Who died? It looks like a funeral in here!"

Yeah, I'm all sorts of bruised from pinching myself. 

Only 363 days until I can do it all over again.

XOXO
