This is it! My big milestone BIRTHDAY—I am #40XFINE! This year was definitely one for the books! We chilled in #ClubQuarantine and made the most out of a situation beyond our control. I couldn’t see my family or friends—but I did get a visit from my Mom. I also had “Face” time with my sweet nephews, got serenaded by my Sweet Face, and a birthday dance from my spirit animal, Baby P. Birthday kick-off week with my friends on Zoom also was a winner. Thank God for the internet! But one thing I am beyond grateful for is my sweet Hus-bae! He made my birthday celebration all that and a bag of chips and salsa!
“Girl we gon’ party like it’s your birthday
Don’t care if it’s Sunday
Don’t care if it’s Thursday
Cause it ain’t gotta be
The weekend we still party
We can still party” —Dougie F
He spoiled me with the Ultimate Seafood Boil x Fish Fry. My celebration was originally planned with family and a few friends, but we made it work with just the two of us! Great food (including an ice cream cake from Coldstone Creamery – curbside), great music, great drinks, a few tears, and lots of laughs. Not to mention, my birthday was on a WEDNESDAY! A School Night! Lol!
No fancy photoshoot, just hanging out in VIP at #ClubQuarantine, and pretending I’m in Hawaii (this was where I was planning to wake up on my birthday). But— that’s OK! We are still planning our trip to Hawaii after all of this is over and moving forward in our new normal. Thank you Hus-bae for helping me keep my sanity and not lose my marbles leading up to my birthday. So many emotions, an unexpected way to celebrate, but through it all—I’m grateful! These new blooms are proof that GREATER is coming!
TRUST THE PROCESS.
Oh, and you better believe when we get to go back outside and play again…I WILL be celebrating-CELEBRATING! I’ve also decided that I will be celebrating for the rest of the year! AND probably next year!
Thank you to everyone who sent kind birthday wishes, comments, texts, songs, and blessings my way…I love you, BIG!! Happy 4-0 To Meeeee!!!
This is only the beginning! And BTW…40 is LIT!
