I'm exhausted, and in a bit of a post-vacation funk, but so happy that we had a great time & my sister enjoyed herself. I ended up gambling for about 15 minutes total on the trip, and won $288, so I'm going to cover my sister's portion of our cabana rental as her birthday gift. (I also bought her airfare).
A few pictures from our trip . . . our arrival
Before a fabulous dinner at the Encore hotel
Celebration martinis! :-)
More to come, but I need to collapse in bed & somehow get a full night's sleep. M's alarm went off at 4:30 this morning for his flight to Chicago, & I barely survived a full day in the office. As I get older, I realize that I need a "buffer" day between my return flight & showing up in the office again!
In positive news, I sold three more items on Craigslist over the past few weeks, & made $85. Sweet! All going into our relocation fund. The possibility of moving has certainly lit a fire under M. :-) We should have confirmation and a formal signed offer this week. I'm on pins & needles!
How about you? If you're 40, how did you celebrate your big day? I have a few years left, but I hope to go to Hawaii with a few girl friends, and many a low-key family celebration at the coast.
Here is how weird my mind is....my first thought seeing your fab photos is that between the 3 of you gals, you have one set of dress straps. lolz
ReplyDeleteMy 40? Hell I've had a 50 too so who can remember 40?!
It wasn't anything worth remembering really. I was probably snowed in in my little shoebox of a house with 3 kids under the age of 8.(8 yr old, a 6 yr old and a 2 yr old)
When I hit 60 I'm going to make up for that year turning 40.....lol
Love dressing up, but don't get much of an opportunity. When I do, you can bet that I strap on my fancy shoes & fun dresses! :-)
DeleteYes, you have to make 60 count! What do you have in mind? Maybe a trip to Hawaii?!! :-)
It looks like you had a fun time :)
ReplyDeleteI'm coming up for the big 5 0 in 2015 and I'm hoping for a trip to the West Coast :)
A trip to the west coast sounds perfect! Where specifically? So many gorgeous places - plan for the summer time, if you can, when the weather is particularly good.
DeleteThat looks great. Love the dresses! Hope you get the offer letter so you can pick a path soon. Nothing like being in this limbo when so much hangs in the balance.
ReplyDeleteOh, exactly Tanner! I need things to be decided, so I can mentally set my mind on a path & execute.
DeleteSexy ladies!!!
