My 35th Birthday In Pictures!

Yes, I have reached that point where I can no longer say I'm in my early 30's.  All birthdays will now move me towards the big 4-0.   So I thought I would document my birthday weekend in pictures for those who couldn't be there.....and you know who you are, Em!

My actual birthday was on friday so I met for coffee with my gorgeous friend Sharnessa who probably just toppled out of bed and looked like that, while I had taken a full hour of scrubbing, brushing, drying and stuffing to even look presentable.

 

 

Then hubby had arranged for me to have a haircut and weave.   (I must be crazy to show you this NAS-TAY picture of me, but I DO like to keep it real,)  I look a bit lethargic because me and my tinfoil head had been sitting under the dryer getting rather snoozy.

The hubby AGAIN out did himself by setting up a mani-pedi for me.   My sweet vietnamese nail tech must have thought I was crazy when I asked her to take my picture.   She kind of missed the point and didn't actually get the pedicure part but at least you can kind of see what I'm doing. 

 

The next day........

Friends had set up a birthday breakfast in my honor.  (L to R is my friend Sharnessa (Barb's daughter), Me, Julie, Caren, Barb Shelton (who I blogged about a while back) and  Julie)  All homeschool mom's! 

So now the whole town knows me as the crazy lady who keeps asking to have her picture taken!  How vain!

Looks like you had a great time! My 37th is coming up, and my birthday wish is for a dump load of washed dairy manure for my gardens LOL

Blessings,
Keri

It made me smile that you had your vietnamese nail lady take your picture. I bet behind your back she was laughing with her friends about us silly Americans. LOL.

You husband did so good this year! All that pampering sure adds up.....plus, him watching the kids while your friends honor you.....that's a great present too!

Thanks for making me feel a part of it all.....sniff.....sniff.

Happy Birthday! (And way to go hubby!)
You look great! In fact, all of your HS mom group look GREAT! WOW! I'm just a tad older than you. I know what you mean -- the slope to 40 is hard to swallow. GULP.

What a good man to send you to be pampered! I'll be sure to share that with my hubby since my 35th is next month. You fit right in with your gorgeous friends. You are what I always wished I looked like- dark, dark hair, pretty skin, etc. I have red hair (currently Ginger Twist with Built-in Highlights) and annoying freckles. Growing up, though, I would pretend my name was Diana (from my fav book series Trixie Belden), who had "Shiny Black Hair and Violet Eyes." Maybe you're the real life Diana. (Her dad was a new millionaire- yours??)

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I've been reading your sweet girlfriend's blog as well. Don't know if you live close to each other or not; hope her move isn't too hard on you. Makes for a great vacation spot!

Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a wonderful time and were very pampered. That's great! You're still a bit younger than me...if that makes you feel any better! ;o)

Thanks for the encouraging comment you left on my blog!!!

Wow, what a birthday. How wonderful to have friends & hubby who go to such great lengths to help you celebrate. (I do have to say that I think my hubby slightly outdid yours, tho- he moved heaven & earth so that we could close on our long-desired "bigger" house on my 40th birthday!)

Happy Belated Birthday! Those are great pictures, it looks like you had a lot of fun. And I agree with one of the other posters that you fit right in with the group of pretty ladies!

A little belated. But it looks like you had a great time. How fun to celebrate with friends and getting pampered at the same time. You have a very sweet hubby!!

I'm 35 too and I think I'll just park my age right there.. Like Peter Pan - "I'll never grow up"..LOL
