40 is the new 20!!!

Well word on the street is that 40 is the new 20!!! You wouldn't know it by all the "over the hill" and black balloon decorations they had strung out everywhere for my party last week!!! But if you ask me I am sticking with 25.... my grandma as been 18 ever since I can remember so it runs in my family!!

I had a fantastic birthday weekend!  My birthday was actually on the 8th.  My sister-in-law, a friend from work (pictured on the left with me) and I went out to watch MMA fighting at a local bar.  Pretty cool and some great fights!!! Had my picture taken with Chris Lytle, he was a UFC fighter and now runs a place on the other side of town for some of these fighters.

Then on Saturday most of my family (minus my sister-in-law and my youngest niece, who came down with strep throat) all went to the Rock & Worship Roadshop!! All I can say is this concert was AWESOME!!! Some artists were Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, Kutless, Tedashii, Rhett Walker Band and Family Force 5 to name a few!!! It was just a great time and our family loved all the music.  The most moving part of the night was at the end when  you had 11,000 people singing Amazing Grace, no music just the whole stadium singing, it was a moment to remember and I was glad I was part of it and the whole night!!!


Then the festivites continued onto Sunday for my birthday party!!! All my family and friends gathered at my Aunt' house for great food that my mom (above) prepared!  And my Aunt prepared 3 kinds of desserts (if you know anything about us, you know we LOVE to make desserts and she is awesome at them!!!).  Then we opened presents and just hung out and visited!  It was a great day and a great birthday weekend and I could not have asked for a better 40th birthday!!!!  Now only if Monday would not have ruined it by returning to work....hahah!!!
