Ris's 40th Birthday Celebration {Ensenada, Mexico}

What an incredible time we had outside of Ensenada to celebrate a real beacon of light in my life's 40th birthday.  We stayed at La Masion which came with it's own housekeeper/chef as well as a house manager who would get us whatever we needed.  It was a real treat!

You wouldn't know it from the photos but this amazing woman Ris has Stage 4 cancer and she is terminal.  Although she's also outlived every single life expectancy report from every single doctor by YEARS, so sometimes saying that doesn't feel real.  But I promise she really is sick and I'm so grateful for every single second with her on this earth.  She is a true fighter and an incredible person and friend inside and out.  At a recent doctors appointment a few days after this trip we got some really encouraging news and I'm still on cloud 9 thinking about that!

The weekend was a celebration and the love for Ris was evident by the people who love her most.  We had a paella chef, taco guy, mariachi band, wine tasting and incredible memories that will last a lifetime.

There may have been some Kinder Eggs taken back for the kids.  These are illegal in the US (chocking hazard)!
