It happened! My handsome honey turned 40 and it was so fun celebrating him.
We turned his birthday into a week-long celebration full of all of his favorite things.
Our first celebration was spent at Surin's having our all-time favorite spicy tuna rolls, followed by macarons and seeing Venom.
A few days later we went to Amerigo and had the best steak in town
And we ended his birthday week with our family dinner at my parents house which again, was packed with his favorite things (margaritas, strawberry salad, Italian cream cake...all the delicious things) We celebrate with food--if you couldn't tell ;)
Mom out did herself with the decorations and fun "40 themed" trivia game
You are so easy to celebrate and I'm so happy we had a week to shower you with well wishes, yummy treats, love, and thankfulness of the years we've had with you and the years to come!
My cousin shared many years ago that her Mom sends her a Psalm each year that correlates with her age and I love that. Psalm 40 says:
"I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
Blessed is the man who makes
the Lord his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!
You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;
none can compare with you!
I will proclaim and tell of them,
yet they are more than can be told.
In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open ear.[a]
Burnt offering and sin offering
you have not required.
Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.”
I have told the glad news of deliverance[b]
in the great congregation;
behold, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord.
I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will
ever preserve me!
For evils have encompassed me
beyond number;
my iniquities have overtaken me,
and I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head;
my heart fails me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
Let those be appalled because of their shame
who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
As for me, I am poor and needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!"
