Hello Forty!

-

Yesterday was a day I had been dreading for years. To my surprise, it wasn't bad at all. In fact, I was happy to share that not only was it my birthday it was my 40th birthday. I have to admit that the last 4 decades have been amazing I’ve had quite the journey. I have so much more to do and see, but I am incredibly proud and blessed to have had life experiences and checked a few things off my bucket list!
I  have:

 ✔ loved ✔ set & met goals ✔ failed ✔ leaped ✔ gone to a concert ✔ paid off debt ✔ donated life ✔ traveled out of the country ✔ learned to appreciate my parents ✔ invested ✔ been loved ✔ owned a pet ✔ ran a marathon ✔ fallin in love at 1st sight (4X’s) ✔ faced my fear of heights ✔ been heartbroken ✔ established a career ✔ gotten a tattoo ✔ volunteered ✔ gambled ✔ been to a drive-in ✔ mastered Mexican rice ✔ swam in the ocean ✔ explored a cave ✔ zip lined ✔ para-sailed ✔ attended a fabulous gay wedding ✔ forgiven someone ✔ refinished furniture ✔ started a blog ✔ started a workout routine ✔ established long lasting friendships ✔ been on TV ✔ attended a professional sports game ✔ been on a cruise ✔ taken a girls trip ✔ attended a Cirque du Soleil Show ✔ read many books before seeing the movie ✔ thrown a themed party ✔ hosted a holiday ✔ watched a documentary ✔ gotten professionally glammed up ✔ worn bright red lipstick (frequently) ✔ stayed at an all-inclusive resort ✔ had fondue ✔ gone wine tasting ✔ had many white Chritmas' ✔ photobombed a stranger ✔ been present at a birth ✔ fed a homeless person ✔ obtained a college degree ✔ donated clothes ✔ ridden a camel ✔ toured a castle ✔ Gold status with Starbucks

Our boy finally has a voice! We hit a  monumentous moment yesterday, captured by his Mommy  and Tia and I can't stop  watching it. Munchkin is 3.5 years old and has pretty much been nonverbal apart  from a handful of words. My girl has been putting so much effort into getting him  up to speed and in a comfortable position before he starts kindergarten. He has  been seeing a speech therapist twice a week for nearly a year and is now  additionally enrolled in a half day program focusing on speech therapy.  This  simple moment of his tiny little voice vocalizing his first short but full sentence "I WANT MORE", made my heart burst instantly. Good  job Little One, your Lolli eagerly awaits your endless voice and thousands of questions!

I have been lucky enough to see my immediate family members including visits from my parents, son, and in-laws. I have my husband, girls, and grandson here to love and gather support almost daily. We've even had a few limited friends over for small gatherings. For that I am thankful for. So much has happened in the last few months, it's become overwhelming and I have plenty of mixed emotions about it all.  Work Life While we've spent many quarantine hours in the pool, I've spent even more at my desk working from home. I know there are people who have...

Just had my 1st # mammogram !  Top 3 reasons I didn't think twice: 1. I'm 40 years old, my risk are higher. 2. Breast cancer runs in my family history. 3. I'm a mother of two daughters and an older sister, its my duty to lead by example. My experience: 1. It didn't hurt, but it wasn't pleasant.  2. It took a whopping 15 minutes.  3. My boobs are bigger than I thought.
