Birthday on the beach

I was told that yesterday all but 1 of the 50 states had snow. And the last few days, I've been overwhelmed by all of the pictures and status updates about snow on facebook. Snow this and snow that. Snow Snow Snow. Snow is beautiful, but as I've said before, I'd rather see sand than snow any day.

So with that being said, I invited a few friends to enjoy a nice day at the beach for my birthday. Since I have a winter birthday, this was the first time I was able to be warm and in a bathing suit for the occasion. These are my friends (L to R) Kim, (me), Yuliette, her daughter Nicole, and Jen. I'm not sure why we all decided to kneel with our hands in our laps. But I promise we like each other...


After the beach, my friend Jen wanted to take me out for dinner and a movie. Her husband is Spencer's roommate on the boat. So we have spent most of our weekends together as we are both husbandless. We ate at Zia's, a ridiculously delicious Italian restaurant, and then went and saw Valentine's Day.



Thanks to all who called, texted, facebooked, emailed, etc. I felt the love. And Spencer made sure he made up for not being there as well. So don't you worry about that. I'm definitely grateful for great friends and family.

And for today, Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you all tell those that you love just how much you love them. Cheesy? Yes. But important.
