Surprise 40th!

The day before the horrid Texas tornado outbreak, I turned 40 years old.  Seems surreal to even say.  But, here it it.  My 40th year.  That day was spent very low key.  Jose and I got to go to dinner alone then we had a small celebration at my grandmother's house.  I knew it would be low key since it was a work/school day, but it was still nice.  Don't think we took a single picture.  We celebrated with Frostys from Wendy's; always my dessert of choice for my birthday. (FYI, have you heard they are selling them on waffle cones now? I think I just heard an angel sing.)

I knew Jose had arranged for us to have a night out Saturday night. He told me we would have a few hours alone and could go to dinner and a movie.  I was pretty excited.  It was looking iffy there for a few hours.  My dad had surgery 2 days after by birthday and was having some complications.  I was pretty much the one taking care of him,  but we managed to pull it off and got away.

He took me to Mi Cocina because he knows I am obsessed with their margaritas. I was so surprised to walk in a see a group of my friends already there at the table waiting for me!  It was the perfect group, too. People I have know for years and could totally be myself around.  It wasn't a huge crowd, but that shows my hubby knows me so well.  I don't do well when I am the center of attention.  (I was uncomfortable at my own baby showers!)  These are long time and very close friends.  Sure, there were a couple of people I would've loved to have seen there, but I was so happy and had a blast!  It made turning 40 pretty painless.
