F O R T Y


Today we celebrated my Mom & my birthday. It was so special to have her here and we could celebrate our shared birthday's together! We haven't been together on our birthday since 2008. 

I started off my birthday how I start every weekday - 5am at Burn Bootcamp. I had an old tie dye shirt that I wrote on. The front said "give me a high five" and the back said "today i'm 40." It was fun and YES, I did my 40 birthday burpees, a BURN Bootcamp special!

Back to breakfast with the family... 



We were showered with gifts, cards. and art. It was so sweet.  Some local friends stopped by to wish us a Happy Birthday throughout the day - really special! We enjoyed our birthday dessert for a mid afternoon snack.

This mug is very special. It was given to my Dad when he turned 40. My Mom threw him a surprise party back in Pennsylania.  They saved the mug all these years.  Dad & Mom surprised Lindsay with it a few years ago on her 40th birthday. It was then passed to Emily and now to me.

That evening, we celebrated with our birthday dinner at Indochine. This is probably the best restaurant we have here in Wilmington. They have wonderful Thai food.


As always, the food was amazing!
