A Weekend To Remember

My 2nd time celebrating birthday here in the US but i feel like it was just yesterday. I turned forty but I am proud of it. I don't have any regrets reaching this age. All my ups and downs, the pains and tears of my past makes me stronger, wiser and most of all I love myself more now and life is to short to be unhappy.

My birthday cake pie mommy made for me. It's my favorite Banana Cream Pie. She can cook different variaties of food. Like German, Polish, Asian, you name it and she'll cook it for you.

Blowing the candles with mommy's friends Carol and Dick. Carol is mommy's bestfriend and Dick is Daddy D's bestfriend. Mommy told me that they we're friends when Carol was like only my daughter's age (9 years) isn't it an amazing friendship they have?

with mommy-she very loving mother in law and a grandmother to my daughter. she loves me and my daughter like her own. I still remember the first time she saw me. she was crying because she was so happy that finally we're here now for good.

I had a wondeful birthday, it was also the first time we spent a day with my mother in law since we came here so she was so happy yesterday because she always miss my daughter. We do visit them once in awhile but we didn't stay longer.
