On Wednesday, April 23 I flew to Las Vegas for a surprise 40th birthday get-to-gether for my dear friend, Melanie Elms. Sunday night, Mel's husband, David and their church,
Cathedral of Pentecost in Ft. Lauderdale, FL gave her a big surprise birthday dinner that included her parents and his parents. It was there that David told her that he was taking her on her birthday to Vegas for a few days. What she did not know, was that 6 of her dear friends. . . .Myself, Mel's sister, Lori Hood, Farah, Julie Finical, Tiffany Barnaby, & her sis-n-law, Melodie Eliseo were going to be there when she arrived! Dave had the suite booked, we arrived and got busy decorating. When Dave & Mel arrived that afternoon and the door opened with all of us, what a great surprise!!! There was many surprises for Mel the rest of the week. David was a part of our party that afternoon and went to the 40th Dinner that evening at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. He flew home Thursday morning. Melody missed her plane and surprised Mel around 10:30 that night when she walked in the hotel room! Needless to say there was so much catching up with these friends! Lots of laughs, fun, shopping, eating, and just good old fun of friends getting together to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday!!

HOW FUN!!!
Happy Birthday, Melanie! Glad you got to celebrate with such good friends.
Oh my word! This looks like you had a blast!!! How fun!!!
That is the most gorgeous group of women that I have ever seen in one place at one time! How on earth did you swing that gathering? Unreal! Desperate Housewives, step aside. These are the Divine Housewives.
And she doesn't look a day over 29. Makes me wanna say, "Some people have all the luck." LOL I think Melanie is one of the prettiest girls in Pentecost. Glad you were able to join in the festivities.
Looks like this would have been a BLAST!! I've always wanted to visit Vegas.
Thought I'd stop by and say Hey! Hope all is well with ya...
