Ahhh…To Be 39…

Yep, another year has past in a flash and I still feel much like a 39 year old trapped in a 25 year old body.  When did I live 39 years?  It seems to have past in a flash.  Goodness, I remember when my mom turned 39 and now I am 39…WHAT THE!!!!

So, here is what 39 and in the Peace Corps looks like…and it is pretty awesome!

There was really great food.  Many thanks to Caroline for hosting and organizing this crazy group.  We all had a blast.  It was one of our last epic parties at Caroline’s place as she is headed home in a few short weeks.  I will miss her terribly, but am so thankful for modern technology. 

  

There were friends.  I have the greatest friends.  And many of them put in an appearance.  Thanks everyone!
This picture makes me happy and sad at the same time.  Why can’t the four of us all live in the same city?  Oh right, we would signal-handily keep Papa Sergey (Head of Safety and Security for the Peace Corps in Ukraine) a very busy man.  LOL!  I had a great five days with these girls.  We worked hard and then we played hard.  The perfect long weekend.

  

  

  

My tutor and friend Ksenia, her husband Sasha, Yuri and I, and Caroline’s fanny….LOL!!!

There was cake!  With firework candles….and singing!!!

   

So, fortieth year of life, I am so ready….Bring It!!!

And then there was cleavage …. But the photo has been removed to protect the not so innocent!
