I'm 40 years old

I just turned 40 years old and I'm very happy.

When I turned 39, last year, I got pretty depressed about turning 40 but now that it is here I'm really happy. My life isn't exactly lined up like I thought it would be with a house, a husband and maybe some kids. However I have many other wonderful things in my life. I'm free to travel and do exactly as I please. I like my freedom! I'm happy to have the most wonderful boyfriend ever and I think we just might have a future together and that is exciting. (It has been 6 months and I'm not sick of him yet. That is a VERY good sign)

I've included pictures of the two cakes I got for my birthday. The chocolate one is from my co-workers and the lemon one is from my friend Wendy. She made it for me to have at my birthday open house. I had a small party at my apartment and the people I care most about attended. It was all good!
