Megan is 40!

My 40th birthday was the day after Thanksgiving and on Black Friday. I loved how it fell on a holiday this year and I could send an entire day with my family. When I walked in the house from Orange Theory that morning, they surprised me at the door and had decorated the house, had breakfast ready for me and the kids had planned a special day for me. They know I am all about impromptu new experiences, so we explored random fruit stands on the south side of San Antonio, stopped at a sushi restaurant we had never been to in Alamo Heights and the said they wanted to take me to a movie and to choose one. It ended up being a huge, laughable mom failure, when I choose the new Mr Roger's Tom Hanks movie purely based on the awesome Rotten Tomatoes reviews it had, especially compared to the Frozen 2. I didn't even read a synopsis and 20 minutes into the movie, I was laughing to myself, finally noticing there wasn't another child below 16 in the movie theater. While it wasn't anything bad, the story line was definitely not for a 6 year old. All I could do was look at Blake and laugh and me so glad that I was 40 years old and had perspective in life, not to care too much or take it too seriously. I was shocked with how engaged all of them were and how Addison truly seemed to get something out of it. It is definitely a memory I will remember for a while. While at the movies, the Burek's invited us over for the evening so we had a fun night playing all the games in their game room, laughing while playing Ms. PacMan, ping pong and other arcade games.













Blake gave me this to prepare for our BIG 40th birthday adventure we are embarking on in 2020!





A list Delaney had made for me of all the gift ideas that I may like as I turned 40 years old.
