My 35th Birthday

This year my birthday was a bitter sweet occasion.  One week before my birthday, my friend and co-worker passed away unexpectedly.  Kelley was a women who was hysterical, partied like she was still 21, and was down to earth when need be.  Kelley's smile and sense of humor flashes into my head multiple times every day as I walk past her office and know she would laugh or make a joke about the latest happening either on reality TV, in my personal life, or about one of the kids at the office.  Cheers Kelley, I know you are raising a glass up above!

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and forced me to continue to celebrate my birthday through the tears!  Off we went to Barrel Oak Winery for a fabulous afternoon/evening!  As the day turned into evening we watched the beautiful sunset as we chowed on a fabulous spread of food and drank our wine around the fire pit.

 I was so happy that Mom and Dad could make it out.  They even each had a glass of wine, and it wasn't even Passover!!!
