Tomorrow I'll be 40 years old...

Tomorrow I'll be 40 years old and since my birthday sometimes falls on Thanksgiving (like tomorrow), we celebrated tonight.

I wanted a skate party and that is what I got - complete with pizza, ice cream, and friends. It was such a fun time and I'm grateful for that. 😁 Super thank you to Shaun who always spoils me. ❤️

Here are a few pictures, and a video of my light-up wheels.

My friends Kalien and Mystir. Thank you both for hanging out with me! ❤️

So damn excited. 😂😂😂

New speed skates that came with the birthday package. Can't wait to try these out! 😁

My beautiful husbang.

My beautiful indoor skates. This was my first time really skating in them besides around the dining room.

Part of Stranger Things was filmed here.

So happy for all of these cuddles.

So happy for all of these cuddles. 😍😍😍 I missed these guys so much!

I was going through my body jewelry...

I was going through my body jewelry to see what earrings I used to wear and found this mustache. I don't remember ever wearing it, but I think it suits me so this is how I'm going to look for the rest of my life.

You're welcome. 😁😁😁

Oh, how I've missed being in a cat pile. 😻😻😻

Look where I woke up!

Look where I woke up! I'm so excited to get to spend the week with my ani-pals and Shaun and the kids. I have missed all of these cuddles and snuggles. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm not home for good (yet), but I'll take it. 😁

I painted my nails the other day.

I painted my nails the other day. There's a lot going on here.

I used a milky white gel base, then applied a unicorn powder on that. Then, since those flake off the tips easily and I type a lot I sponged a sparkly gradient from the free edge. I stamped one nail because OBVIOUSLY I needed to. 😂 If only I had some stones here with me I would have put at least one of those on there, too - right near the cuticle of my ring finger.

But anyway. I had fun and treated myself to something pretty. Got kind of a "gelly sandwich" going on here. I like it. 😃

Today I graduated GCU!

Today I graduated GCU! I'm officially a full-fledged Technical Consultant (no longer an Associate Technical Consultant). We had a little graduation ceremony at lunch (complete with confetti and cupcakes), but we're celebrating properly after work at MadTree Brewing.

I can't express how grateful I am for this opportunity. I have learned so much and made so many friends. I'm in an environment where I'll be able to keep learning and that makes me so, so happy. I can't wait to see how far I'll go!
