Well friends, we did it! We made it through another week and maybe with the spring warm-up, the days of April will go even faster! This is been an extra special week because it was my birthday, and while it wasn’t necessarily celebrated in the usual way, I still loved every second of it! May have been one of the best birthday's ever and for a second, I didn't even feel the world was off kilter!

What a great birthday my friend. I did put a package in the mail Saturday...but it seems things coming from CA to you take a sweet forever. I can't even get the tracking number to register. I handed it to my mailman, so I hope it's not hanging out in his truck. Happy Friday!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had an awesome birthday considering the situation we are all in right now. You have a wonderful family and friends! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour son's letter was very thoughtful and so very sweet. I had tears in my eyes and reading it just made my day. It literally warmed my heart. It looks like you had the most spectacular celebration even if it was a bit different this year. You are so loved Andrea and I am happy that your special day was super special. I hope that your Friday is off to a good start and wishing you and your family a very beautiful weekend.

Yay for being showered with love on your birthday. I am sooo happy that it was still a special time. I love the Kendra Scott necklace that you received. I hope you had the best day and get to celebrate again when this is all over. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun birthday surprises!!!! You will have one coming from Alabama....when I can enter the post office again. LOL. Maybe your birthday will be extended into May! Your pie and meal look amazing. I know it isn't the best way to ring in a birthday, but definitely puts things into perspective to be grateful to have another to celebrate with everything going on. At least, that is how I feel about mine this year. I laughed so hard at the coffee date with friends meme. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWell it sounds like you had the best birthday Corona would allow! Your meal looked so yummy and I am so glad so many treated you like the queen you are! I am sorry I did not send any birthday love in the mail like usual, I haven't left the house in weeks and couldn't prepare. Sorry you are missing your momma. I am missing Kevin like crazy. We will all get back to normal soon enough, I hope! Sending love for a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that your day was extra special and that you got some sunshine! :)
ReplyDeleteYour day was so special considering the circumstances! I am so glad to hear that! Happy birthday, sweet friend! P.S. Have you ever shared a skin care regime post, because I seriously want to be doing whatever you do!!!! You are youthful and glowing!
ReplyDeleteSo many gifts and so much love! I'm glad you made the most of it and were able to virtually connect with friends and family! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had such a lovely day - happy belated birthday, Andrea! I love that letter from your son and you looked absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday dear! you look fabulous
