if you ever need someone to keep a secret, i’m your girl!  i’ve known for a month or so that over this past weekend i would be flying to St. Louis to surprise my friend tricia for her 40th birthday bash!

nevermind that i almost gave it away in the eleventh hour…sheesh, the pressure…i do think she was a wee bit surprised!

the par-tay was in St. Libory, IL.  don’t ask me where-the-heck it is, i know i drove there, but the rest is a disoriented blurr.  now enlightened, i’m darn proud to add it to the esteemed list of places i’ve been to in this little life of mine!

you know…rome, barcelona, prague, amsterdam, st. libory…fits right in…dontcha think?

well anyway, what a cute idea to have a photo booth!  the birthday girl and me being silly…

it was so great to meet her family and friends…now my family and friends! (hope they don’t mind!)  and it was superfun hangin’ with the birthday girl!

next post maybe i tell you about the “accommodations” or maybe i won’t…
