Well it happened…. In October yours truly turned 40.
Seriously friends, I remember being a kid and seeing those Lordy Lordy look whose 40 pictures
and thinking wow they are old.
But here I am, and guess what I don’t feel old, I feel great!
I have my life figured out (for the most part;)).
I am happy where I am at personally and in my career.
Although I am still constantly striving for improvement.
So as much as I will miss my 30’s I think 40’s will be pretty great too.
I had not one but TWO parties for my 40th.
I have to say turning 40 was FAB. U. LOUS!
My San Diego friends threw me an amazing birthday party which I will also share, very soon.
This party was a sweet little dinner party I threw for my dearest friends.
I wanted to celebrate those people that I love and treasure,
and that have to put up with me on a daily basis ;0).
Four of my college girlfriends flew in to join us and we had a whole weekend to celebrate together!
I HIGHLY recommend multiple parties!
I don’t know why I waited so long!
This is my formula for a perfect dinner party

Venue: Oliver and Rose (part of Cafe Chloe)
If you have an upcoming celebration, have it here! They are AMAZING!!!
They went above and beyond to make my party special you really can’t go wrong if you hire them.
They handled menus, flowers, place cards, etc.

I highly recommend this piece, I learned in college how fun it is to have pictures of your celebrations and this way your guests don’t have to worry about taking pictures all night!
Necklaces: My lovely friend and fellow FGI member was our necklace maker, I highly recommend hiring this position. That way your guests can just pick our their designs and then drink socialize.
If you’d like her email drop me a line. She created a project for my other party too!
If you can’t hire or find someone to do this for you, make sure have most of the work done before the party, then your guests can just add the charms.
