My 41st birthday was well celebrated and very fun. Since I had just started my new job the week before, I I decided not to take off of work for my birthday to go canoeing as I usually love to do. It was still a nice day, with my former team and my new team both making a fuss over the day:) Then I was spoiled at night by my family, and on the weekend by my friends (and the weekend before by Mom and Dad). I'm a pretty lucky 41 year old!
