Last year I decided to stop celebrating birthdays, and instead I decided to start celebrating whenever I grow and become a better person.
But my mom instigated a surprise birthday party on the occasion of my fortieth trip around the sun. She got my six closest friends and my husband to keep the secret and meet up at a roadside diner in Rock Springs, Arizona. I thought I was just going to meet my mom for lunch. Instead a whole bunch of wonderful happened.
And I feel like a better person than I did yesterday. Sometimes your friends and family have to remind you.
Thank you.
Especially you, Mom.

Happy Birthday
*smooch*
Thanks, David!
Happy Birthday Cheryl.
Wow! But you give me far too much credit! You have such wonderful, caring friends who love you like I love you. You are very special to all of us and all of your family.
The pictures and comments are great, considering you had to take the pictures with your iPhone because I forgot my camera. You absolutely do have some of the most fantastic friends!
I am and always will be so proud of you!
Love you MUCHO!
Mom
belated Happy Birthday Cheryl. I’m really liking these flickr embeds. Just need an easy way to add sound
Wow, 40 seems like a short 9.5 years yesterday for me. Seven months till I hit 50 and maybe time to grow down again. Best!
