Fun, Flirty and Forty!

This past weekend, I turned 40! I cannot believe that I am actually, forty now. It seems kinda strange and normal at the sametime.

Dear hubs and my mama friend, Kim Parmelee threw a birthday bash for me at a club here in Aptos, CA called Verve Lounge. I have been going there throughout the year for various events. It seemed fitting to have my 40th there. My cousin Kim Deruloo Gray came up for the weekend. She arrived on Friday night. We went to see New Moon. It was great. It played out pretty much like the book. It was a fun way to kick off the weekend.

Saturday was all about primping for the party. We got pedi/mani's then went and did some retail therapy, then there was sushi for lunch at my favorite sush spot Pink Godzilla. The rest of the day we spent getting ready....


Getting ready! Does it get better than this?!
