What a fantastic 35th birthday celebration I had!!! It started off with this:
 |
| Beautiful view from our room at the Ritz |
 |
| Champagne and strawberries! Yum! |
 |
| What a beautiful pool area the Ritz has |
Richard and I decided to take advantage of a residents rate that the Ritz has so we booked ourselves into the hotel over the November long weekend. We had a great weekend of good eats, good drinks and lots of relaxation. Once we checked out (which I didn't really want to do!), Richard played a game of golf and I hit up the Westin spa with some girlfriends. It was great to be pampered and to get caught up with them - life has been so busy for all of us and it was so nice to connect. I enjoyed a lot of birthday emails and phone calls too - I am very spoiled. After working the day on my actual birthday, Mike and Julie had us over for supper. Yum. Roast chicken, all the fixings and CAKE! Julie makes the best cakes ever.
A couple of days later, AK was able to join the celebrations. She sent a really sweet voice note singing "Happy Birthday" to me, I tried to figure out how to upload it to share with you but I have no idea... anyone have any ideas on how to work with an .amr file? Didn't think so...

| AK set the table ALL BY HERSELF! AK is in her pyjamas as we had a pyjama popcorn princess party :) |

| The sparkler goes right there! |

| Look at this beautiful card AK made for me! |

| Such a gorgeous girl |
As I mourned the loss of my youth (ha), I stopped to reflect on where I was a year ago. How quickly life changes... a year ago on my birthday, I had been in Honduras with a new group of people, new friends, and I faced some challenging adventures. It was an amazing weekend that really opened my heart up to new possibilities... and here I am, a year later, having just celebrated one year of dating with Richard :) AK and I really love having him as part of our family and I am SO excited to see what the next year will bring the three of us!
