So a disclaimer of why it took me so long to post this-I'll keep it short and sweet (trust me you don't want details) My sister, mom and I were the lucky recipients of a parting gift last weekend...a stomach virus! We all have never experienced this kind of thing and we don't want to ever again! I am able to catch up on this thing because I called in sick today-I have only called in sick two times in my whole working career (since I was 16) so this was not fun. The dr. told Heather it would last 7-10 days, 5 days in and it's dwindling, but keeping a UN too friendly presence.
Honestly, a picture is going to have to speak a thousand words because when it came to this past weekend I am close to speechless. It was absolutely perfect ...besides being so short. I got to spend some goofing around, giggling and gabbing time with my sissy - I got to see all my family which I love so much and we got to surprise and celebrate the women who has more impact on our life than any other. Mom I hope you felt as special as we do getting to have a mom like you. I know I ALWAYS say this especially after seeing my family when it's been awhile, but I am so blessed! I would not trade my family in for any other in the world... They are crazy, loving and never stop making me laugh.

I love the comments on the pictures it made me laugh out loud!! Yes some of the pictures could have been excluded but then hey you only turn 50 once right. I can now use old age as a reason why I can't remember half of the pictures ( had nothing to do with the Tequilla). What a wonderful family and group of friends I have you all made me feel very special. Thank you again for such a wonderul day!!
