We sent to Sight & Sound theater to see David today with friends family. 
I really love all the show we watch here ever year!

Happy birthday my sweet girl!!! You make me so incredibly proud to be your mom and I thank God each day for what a beautiful gift you are to me. You are that cool girl I always wished I could be! You are only sixteen but you are a warrior. You are brave in all the ways that matter. You stand firm in what you believe and you don’t waver at the dramas around you. I am in awe of the beautiful young woman you are and becoming. Love you so much, my firstborn child!

Chloe’s birthday party continues and tonight is the party with her friends! 
I went with 16 candles theme for the tablescape and for the party decor, Shane and I blew up 100+ balloons last night to make the balloon arch that matched the color of Chloe’s dress. It took us over three hours and I couldn’t have done it without Shane’s help! Thank you, son!!!

Once again we beat the crowd by going to the Louvre on Thursday evening. There was hardly any wait to see even the Mona Lisa so this time, I lingered littler and took my time a bit. I even went back for the second time. This is my third time visiting this museum and I always leave feeling I needed more time to observe and admire everything… But I’m so glad I got to share this experience with Chloe. 

We had amazing 5 course dinner with wine to celebrate our first night!  Even though it was supposed to be 5 course dinner, with chef’s special pre-starters and in-between palate cleanser, bread variety,  and complimentary desserts, we felt like we had about 8 or 9 plates of food. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours and it was so intimate and special to share it with my girl. 

HAPPY 50th anniversary to my beautiful parents!!!

I helped my friend throw her husband his 50 th birthday party. 
What a beautiful night it was! I had to swallow my tears many times, being so touched and blessed to witness so much love and support shown to this amazing guy! God has truly blessed him and his family with wonderful children, parents, siblings and friends. Most of all, the love that this couple has for each other is a true testimony of God’s love and grace. So blessed to know you and call you my friends!
