I turned 40???

For real???

Yes, for real.

And my sweet, sweet husband threw me the best party ever!

A bit of a surprise...

Going to Anna, IL. 

Staying at a B&B that used to be an old school. Our room was the 2nd grade classroom. A woman, teacher, taught 2nd grade in that very room for 29 years! So charming. So unique. Here is the B&B:

A limo picked us (me/Scott, Renee/Chuck, Jen/Neal, Sally/Vince) up from the B&B and off we went to several local wineries. Our room:

Beautiful sunny weather. Wine. Friends. My husband. And a wonderful time.

We had dinner reservations as a local restaurant we could walk to and there was a cake to end the night! Pics of the teacher and her class as well as a letter she wrote:

Thankful. So very thankful. Actually, very blessed. Thanks babe...you sure did make me feel special this year! Love you so...
