I had a BIRTHDAY over a month ago

So I had a birthday over a month ago.  It was one of the best birthdays I have had in a VERY long time.  What made it so great you ask?  Well I am glad you asked that, what made it so great was I was surrounded by friends and family like I haven't been since I moved to Red Deer.

My husband arranged for most of my girlfriends to come down from Saskatchewan to spend the weekend with me.  Some of them brought their kids, some did not but it was a great time all around.  The house was full of people and I loved it.  We sat around, had some drinks, visited, watched television and did some shopping, we even went out dancing and to karaoke.  It was a great weekend.  I miss my girls from Saskatchewan every day and they are TRUE, REAL friends.  It doesn't matter if we don't talk for months at a time, when we get together it's like we were just together the other day. Back into the old groove and I LOVE it!!!

Here are some pictures from that night!!!
It was a take picture with Nellie Night, not sure why, he wasn't the birthday girl lol!!!

Estelle, Nellie and Sharon

The running joke of the weekend was that Kota looked a lot like Nellie.  We were wondering if there was something we hadn't been told!!

Love was all around

Friday Favourites!! Friday Five Link Up

Image
I'm again linking up with the girls in DC, Mar, Courtney and Cynthia for the Friday Five.  I've been waiting all week to write this post and I'm so glad I get to talk about my Favourite things!! I'm going to talk about my new favourite things, things I've recently discovered and now use on a daily basis!!! 1) I've discovered some new make up palettes.  Make up and I have gone through many phases and faces in my life. For a time all I bought were the cover girl eye shadows, blushes and mascara.  Then I grew up and started experimenting with other drug store make up. I was a bit of a hoarder.  Then in the past 5 years I've moved from palettes of Make up to single colours that I would blend. I've used Mary Kay, Benefit, Arbonne and I've enjoyed them all.  But recently I've been wanting to buy a New palette of colours so I could change up my look, and I found two that I love!! I got the Sephora IT Palette for smokey eyes and Benefit Bright

40th Birthday Bucket List

I am turning 40 this year.  After turning 39, I struggled with turning 40, the thought would take my breathe away and I felt sick.  I don't even know why, it's so dumb, I rarely feel like I am 40, sometimes I think I am still only 25.  So it's strange that for at least six months, I was in a state of anxiety every time I thought about turning 40.  It probably had something to do with my depression and as I move out of that state, I am less encumbered by turning 40 and more willing to face it head on with a smile on my face. So I have come up with a list of things I am going to do in the 365 days that I am 40.  Some of them are things I should have done years ago, but I have neglected and some are brand new who would have thought I would want to do this items. 1. Get a Will. 2. Travel to Vancouver (this one I get to check off since I did this as my birthday trip with my mom) 3. Travel to Vegas 4. Travel to Mexico 5. Travel to New York City. 6. Travel to the East Coa

My Heart Belongs in.... {Friday Five}

Ok I'm going to join a link up and follow along for the next few Friday's posting my Friday Five!! I learned about this Link Up through Run Salt Run , and she follows along with Mar On the Run .  Both are great blogs for runners which is how I found them through a google search!! You can see their Link Up Badge on the right hand side of my blog!! If you are interested in doing a Link Up, even starting one of our own for Alberta (if you are an Alberta Blogger) let me know I'd totally be down for doing that. The first topic is your favourite city, well I've travelled a bit in my life and I've lived in a few different cities, but my favourite still is Lake Tahoe (which technically may not be a city, but it's my favourite place!! So here are the Top Five Reasons I love Lake Tahoe!! 1. It's location What could be better then a community nestled in the mountains with a huge lake at it's centre? But that's not all, it's right on the border of C
