40 year trip!!

As most of you know, this year I turned 40 years old.  Well, to celebrate the start of a new decade, one of my closest friends Vayram and I took a trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.  We left our perspective cities and met up in Atlanta, where we both flew into Punta Cana.  We stayed at the Iberostar Bavaro Resort, all-inclusive.  It was paradise!!  Beautiful beaches, delicious food, and very relaxing!  We basically woke up in the morning, ate breakfast, laid out on the beach and at the pool, ate lunch, laid out some more, ate dinner, and went to sleep.  Absolutely wonderful!!!

So for our 50 year birthday, the two of us are planning a trip to Europe.  Until then, we have 10 awesome years to enoy! 

 

 

The Sound of Music

Over the weekend, the girls had there musical performance of The Sound of Music.  If you have followed my blog from the beginning, you might remember that for their first Halloween, they were sisters, nuns.  Well, I must have foreseen the future, because they were cast as the nuns in the musical!  They did a wonderful job, singing clearly and beautifully.  They work hard for 3 months for these 3 performances.  Their dedication paid off!  We are all very proud of them.

Happy 40th Birthday to ME!!

That's right, I am now 40 years young!  It was a beautiful and wonderful day.  I got to celebrate it with my mom and dad, who flew in from Chicago, and of course with my amazing husband and loving daughters.  I am so lucky!  These next 40 years are going to be the best ones yet. 

 

 

Happy Mothers Day!!

Today is Mother's day!  What a wonderful and beautiful day!  I got to sleep in until 9am.  We went to a delicious brunch at El Chorro.  It is a staple here in Phoenix.  A restaurant with amazing views of Camelback mountain, and traditional southwestern décor.  We then went to the Schnepf farms peach festival.  We picked our own sweet delicious peaches.  YUM!! 

I am truly blessed to have two beautiful and healthy daughters.  And as you can see from the following pictures, they are growing up fast!

Happy Mother's day to All the Mamas!!
