I turned 40 last week. There. I said it. Actually, I had no trouble with turning 40, although just saying that number makes me sound older.
I had a GREAT birthday. My family flew in and surprised me. I couldn't believe it. Part actually got spilled on FB when someone mentioned that my sister was coming out here. She is a bit spontaneous and free spirited, so it didn't completely surprise me that she would come. So when she showed up on my doorstep, I was't exactly surprised, but I was so happy to have her here with me. She came in and we sat in the living room to chat. 15 minutes or so rolled around and I heard footsteps outside. I look out there and the rest of my family was out there with birthday signs. I think I said this already, but I couldn't believe it. I felt so humbled and loved that they would spend that much money to come spend a couple days with us. And I count it as God's kindness. If there was one thing I could have picked for my birthday, it would have been to celebrate it with my family. It will definitely be a birthday I will remember and treasure.
I love them. :-)
