Thanks to everyone who sent cards, ecards, and emails! I'm having a great birthday so far. I kicked off the celebration by...sleeping in! I know this doesn't surprise many of you, but really, I don't sleep in a whole lot anymore now that I've been employed.
*Mandatory waxing poetic on another passing year*
I can't believe I'm 34. Where did all that time go? I honestly don't feel that old. People keep asking me if I got all depressed when I hit 30 or if I'm sad I'm not in my 20s anymore. I have to answer that with a wholehearted "NO!" I've enjoyed my life up to now, but my 20s included some really rocky periods and I capped off that decade by nearly getting a heart transplant. My 30th birthday was a celebration because I was just leveling off and maintaining my health from my heart condition. But even aside from that, I have to say that my life just keeps getting better every year. I'm married to a wonderful man, we own our own house which I adore, I'm surrounded by Beagle 1 and Beagle 2, and I've got my daughter on her way. Really, what more could I ask for? Bye bye 20s! Bring those 30s on!

Enjoy your special day!
Posted by: Katrina at June 15, 2007 05:18 PMYou cannot be that old! I only say that because of what that makes me (and Grandpa Rosiak). Other than that, you are my favorate child (don't tell your brother)and I really appreciate having you for a daughter.
Love Pop
Happy Birthday Shelby!
We are getting a bit old. I was asked the other day if I was my friend's mother (she's only 2 years younger than me, so it was quite a shock).
And you have a baby coming? Much excitement for you in the 30's!
Happy Belated Birthday from a reader in Hamburg. Coincidentally, it was my birthday, too. I just turned 30!
