On the day I turned 40, we woke up so early to catch our flight going to Texas. I am just glad that my kids are a real trooper, they were ready when we woke them up at 3 o'clock in the morning.

It was raining when we land to Chicago |
Our connecting flight from Pittsburgh to Chicago took 1 and 1/2 hours. I regret that I did not let my kids wear jackets as it was so cold on the plane. I was literally shaking. Our flight from Chicago to San Antonio was a bit longer, 2 hours and 35 minutes. We were greeted at the airport by the Dias Family.
Love the bouquet they gave me and the welcome sign is just too sweet!
The Dias Family were so thoughtful and sweet to threw a party for me. We had dinner at their home.
A Huge Thanks to the Dias Family for making our stay in Texas extra memorable. I could not ask for more for a better birthday celebration. So is it true that life begins at 40? For me, my life begins when I married my husband and have kids of my own! Life then and now is just wonderful!
Oh wow I didn't think you were already 40! happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I will say (as I am approaching 59 this fall), that the perspective that you have from 40 on is priceless. I think you will notice the shift over time. So, from that POV, I guess it does 'begin' after 40....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday! You are so cute and I would have never guessed you are 40.
