Wasn't that a party!

Last night Brad actually managed to surprise me by throwing an early birthday party for me. All of the major players were there including the Rack Pack girls, our neighbors & friends from the fire department. It was great to relax & enjoy our new hot tub in the company of so many cool folks. Plus I also acquired enough bottles of wine to last the whole summer. (Thanks everyone)

As I made my way around the yard visiting with all of my friends and accepting many well wishes I couldn't help thinking...... 30 isn't so bad, especially when I have so many awesome people to share it with!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Lately I've been thinking about how many cool women I have the privilege of calling my friends. It amazes me how I've been able to connect with so many different women with different stories and I admire them all.

I admire my girls who are single mothers. They are gutsy and incredible.

I admire my girls who are married and dazzle me with their abilities to support their spouse and stll be unique and independent.

I admire my girls who are divorced for knowing themselves well enough to make a change and for picking up and moving on.

I admire my girls who are single and living life to the fullest on their terms.

I admire my little girls who are sunshine and rainbows and happiness. They give me a lift everyday.

To all my girls big and small I love ya and treasure what you give me!!
