The Aftermath!

The Birthday Girl (aka: me!!) and the swag!

I am in a considerably calmer state than I was last time I posted. Turns out, as usual, I panic for nothing. What a fantastic night! While the party itself wasn't entirely a surprise, some of the people who were there definitely were! The dinner was really nice, and there was just so much wine. And SO much swag! My friends and family definitely showered me with love...and presents!! And wine! The best part is that, and I know that I can't be the only one like this, but I have different groups of friends...and they are separate...and they know that the other groups exist, but they have never met. On Saturday night, many of my worlds collided...and it could have gone pear shaped...but it was GREAT! My friends all melded together perfectly! I literally could not have asked for more. I feel very very lucky and very loved. And now...I will let you see pictures!!
My BFF Marla. Friends since Kindergarten!
Me and my boys. The little one is happy, I swear.
My other BFF Ana, and the hubs, who organized the event!
My brother Ross.
