42

On my 42 birthday, I attended the funeral of my dear friends' father in Freemont. No better teacher than death to make one appreciate how special the gift of another year lived.

I got to road trip there with my other girl friend Toni and even got to stay overnight in a hotel.  Toni got up in the middle of the night to decorated the bathroom and surprise me. Yes, she is crazy like that!

When I returned home that evening my family showered me with cards and gifts and treated me to dinner at the Flat River Grill in Sutton. Then, per my request, we snuggled up at home and watched Wicked. 

The next day I headed to the cabin to meet up with my high school friends Lindsay and Ashley.  We ordered pizza, sat in the hot tub and chatted late into the night.  It had been 15+ years since the 3 of us had been able to get together undistracted. I could not have asked for a better weekend of celebration. Quiet time, girl time, and no responsibilities!
