My 40th (A BIG THANK YOU!) *Long*(updated 2-21)

As most of you know last Wednesday marked my 40th Bday. I was sooo not looking forward to it.....but thanks to you all 40 has been my best year yet.

My best friend Robin (Robilee-the little birdie) started what's called a Card Party for me. She worked very hard pming everyone and asked them if they would like to participate. Needless to say, many, many, many of you did and I can't thank you all enough!
All the terrific cards, well wishes and gifts (to my surprise) were absolutely wonderful! Day after day the postman brought me cards, he probably thought I was one of the most popular people around because one day he brought me 17 of them!
I can't thank you all enough, I never realized how many friends I have!
Look at this stack of cards!

And here they all are layed out on my table...there almost wasn't enough room!


Ohh and do you see those black baloons laying on the floor? Know what they're from? A SURPRISE PARTY! Yep you heard me right, Mark threw me a party and was I ever surprised!
Goodness there was so many things that should have told me what was happening, but I really didn't see all the signs. My manager at work even almost let it slip so I kept thinking something was going to happen, but then when it never did I thought it was all just my mind playing tricks on me. It wasn't my mind, it was my hubby and my friends!
There were people from my work, family and friends...pt friends! Yep, besides Robin... Staci, Amy & Diana were there too! Phred had planned on coming but unfortunately he couldn't be here due to circumstances
Look at us all!

A BIG thanks to Loudlou, she had these made and sent them to us for everyone to wear & take home as a momento (and a keychain for both Mark and I to keep-there are better pictures of them in the album), it was great!



I have sooo many pictures and I really can't decide which ones to post so I'll just post one more of the man who made the party possible....
My hubby (Looks pretty cute with my crown on doesn't he)

I love him so much!

And what a lucky woman I am, his gift to me was a $300 gift card to a day spa! Ohhh I can't wait for a day of pampering!
The rest of the pictures are HERE so feel free to have a look and please don't make too much fun of me

PS Staci sent me a link to her pictures also, they are HERE She really captured the moment!

Thanks again everyone!
