on the day i turned FORTY 😳 in a new town with on the day i turned FORTY 😳 in a new town with no friends, i put on my red dress to channel my inner birthday girl sally from wee sing (scroll to the end to see if you’re too YOUNG and not 40 to know!!) 

but despite the lack of nearby loved ones, gid made me feel special all day, a ceiling full of 40 balloons, a mango birthday message, he let us order only seafood at dinner and my favorite @alisoneroman cookie instead of a dumb cake! stocked up on some new wine, a charcuterie board delivery from gigi and a new custom charm necklace from my best friend 😭 i feel so loved!

anyway i’m gonna be 39 for a bit longer so i can celebrate with my girlfriends later on! so like, don’t think of me as 40 ok?!?!

we’re still drowning in boxes but it’s feeling more like home
the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile long but i just hung a fish on the wall and feeling great about it!! 🐚
