Happy Birthday Cel!

A milestone birthday for a dear friend!  Celeste is one of the very first friends I made when I moved to Birmingham in 1996 and we have been close friends ever since - 16 years of friendship!  Wow!  Cel is the first of our birthday club to turn 40 and we had a fun time celebrating!  We had our usual birthday club dinner but 2 weeks later, another dear friend, Kerri, and I (Ashley we missed you greatly!) got the chance to make a night of it to celebrate.  It was dinner at Firebirds for a relaxing dinner and off to a night at the Embassy Suites in Hoover of girl time!  A little elf had entered the room and left flowers and Cel's favorite dessert of Strawberry cupcakes from Edgar's Bakery.  No calories on your birthday, much less your 40th!  Such a fun time together and nice relaxing breakfast and chatting and praying for each other on Saturday morning.  Friendships like these are precious and not to be taken for granted!  Cel, thanks for your enduring friendship through thick and thin and more is to come!  What an incredible 40 years and more is coming your way, sister!  thanks for letting us celebrate with you!  You are a blessing to me and so many!!!
