Planes, Family and a Wedding

I flew out to Omaha to FINALLY meet my new niece... well, and to see my other two nieces AND to see my big brother marry Katie. I wholeheartedly approve of her by all means! I am so happy I get to spend time with them and share their special day! It was hard to boil down the photos to just a handful, but here goes...

I got to Omaha after midnight on Thursday so, really just time for hugs and kisses and go to bed. Woke up Friday morning to get to do some great bonding with my new sister Katie and my nieces. Well, Claire and Rory already had me wrapped around their finger, but I get to know Sloane. Man, she is a GUILL through and through! Headstrong, independent, smart and SASSY! 

Friday was rehearsal dinner and just hanging out since the wedding was Saturday! We had a lovely dinner at the The Spaghetti Works. Tons of food and really nice people.

And the wedding... What a day! Katie and Michael picked a super cute place for the wedding and reception. The Vintage Ballroom was the cutest little place with the best feel. A few hours early so get hair and make-up in place. It was absolutely the BEST time getting ready for their wedding and just getting to be silly with family. I missed that!

After some relaxing we decided to head out and get a family tattoo on Monday. G for Guill. Well, Claire went off book and got a surprise tattoo on her arm to honor Mike. The best is that he actually drew it and the word and love heart in the tattoo was his writing. This kid! Ended Monday with some sushi to celebrate Claire's 20th Birthday and teaching Slaone about Aunt Shell selfies, or as Claire calls them.. Aunt Shellfies!

Before I went home Tuesday night, we spend some time at the Omaha Zoo. That place is HUGE!! Cant wait to spend more time with them soon!

Happy Birthday Terry

Since he hates his picture being taken and attention, I made him a cake. 

Happy Birthday Lisa

My friend Lisa's birthday was today! Her mom sent her a fruit basket from Edible Arrangements and we stopped in the newly decorated hallway to document the momentous occasion.

Happy Birthday Me!

I was kinda nervous about turning 40, but you know what, it's just another age and I plan on fully embracing it. Well, unless someone asks me how old I am!!

Day started out with a bang, ending up having my friend Missy come over to take me to the ER when I cut my foot in the bathroom getting ready!

There she is to the right, putting on make-up in the ER Room as they were making me all better!

We were the highlight on the doc and nurses morning apparently. They were joking around with us and making fun of the orderly. Good fun was had, well, as much as could be had in the ER!!

Thank you soooo much my Missy for rushing over to my house from the beach with no make-up on and still in your house slippers to rescue me!! I love you for that!

Had to get a tetanus shot since I could not remember the last time I actually had one. I'd assume it was sometime either before I got out of the Navy or maybe before we left to move to Italy. I think I was more nervous about a tetanus shot than I was about maybe getting stitches! So that was not fun!

I did however, arrive to work several hours after I should
have been there to a waiting bouquet of flowers from my husband! A sweet card that read:

"I love you more than baseball!"

40 multi colored roses for the 40 years that I have been alive. He's a keeper, that one!

I got home to a package waiting for me on the porch. He knows I love turtles. (Delta Zeta sisterhood will ensure that you will never ever in your entire life be able to turn down anything cute with a turtle or pink and green!)

He found a little diamond and platinum turtle for me and it is adorable. Jinx has a thing for necklaces and he's already eying the little critter!

Dinner was at the beach with some of my awesome friends! Side Street Cantina.. Taco's, guacamole, and a few beers. There was a shot of tequila in there thanks to Jeff and Erik!

Luckily, I have some amazing friends that stepped in for Terry since he was gone!

So, 40. I don't think you're gonna be an issue. I still look good. I feel amazing. I am happy! I have my awesome friends and cats.

Happy 

Birthday
