Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Just wanted to share something happy for a change. My 40th birthday is officially over. Tim gave me a surprise party on Saturday night with about 40 of my friends. We had a great time and it was so good seeing some people I haven't seen for awhile. Today was my actual birthday and woke up this morning to Tim and the kids singing happy birthday and getting a beautiful diamond and sapphire ring. Sapphire is princess cut and matches the pendant I have that Tim gave me when Leah was born. It's her birthstone. Have to admit turning 40 was a lot better than turning 30. Back then I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and taking care of my terminally ill mother and was well over 300 pounds. It's hard to believe that 10 years older and I feel a heck of a lot younger and better than I did 10 years ago. What a difference with energy, looks, etc. When I turned 30 I wasn't really looking forward to the future even though I was pregnant with this new life inside me. Was so miserable about my size, my looks, no energy, etc. I start back to school tomorrow and just excited about so many things coming up over the next few days, months and even years. Never thought I'd be planning for a future as I was sure I'd be dead by the time I was 40. Well here I am and think I'll stick around for awhile longer. : ) Instead of making a wish for something I wanted when I blew out the candles on my cake, I silently thanked God for this surgery and for all of my friends (all of you included) for your love and support over the past three years. I know in my heart that if it weren't for the surgery and the support, I wouldn't be here today. You've all been so supportive over the past few years, especially over this last year with all of my trials, I thought I'd share something happy with you for a change. Tim really went out of his way to make this day very special for me. Planned the entire party by himself and saved up for over a year to pay for everything. We went out to dinner tonight, just the two of us. My friend gave me a gift certificate for one of my favorite restaurants and babysat for us too. Just had a really great day and wanted to share it with all of you. Love, Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Happy new life, as you round 40, Regina! The best presents are love, caring and health, and you have them all. The party, the dinner, the jewelry are symbols of the caring and love of your family and friends. May you have at least another 40 years with the same health, love and caring that you now experience. --Steve At 12:46 AM -0500 1/22/03, Regina Block wrote: >Never thought I'd be planning for a future as I was sure I'd be dead by >the time I was 40.
