Social distancing at home during the middle of a pandemic was not how I was expecting to spend my 40th birthday, but somehow Molly and Jason made it a better day/week than I ever could have imagined.
 |
| They planned a week of yummy meals, including the best takeout ever on my actual birthday - paella from Next |
 |
| Jason made a photo book ... this is the first version with the mistake on the cover (don't worry, a reprint with the correct year arrived just in time!) |
 |
| I was surprised with a "happy birthday" trumpet serenade from 6+ feet away |
 |
| After work, it was time to enjoy an aperol spritz, courtesy of supplies delivered from Jon and Adina (and wearing new earrings from my mom) |
 |
| Closing out the day with my favorite girl, who helped Jason with the planning every step of the way |
The highlight was definitely the birthday video that Jason made. He had friends and family from near and far send in birthday wishes and it absolutely made my day. Thanks to everyone who took the time to send a video in! I watched it twice on my birthday and will continue to watch it anytime I ever need to feel the love:

So far, 40 is pretty fabulous!
