I am also musing about the fact that in the last year, I became a mother. Not of one, but of three. Here we are this past weekend on a "Team Lorax" expedition.
And I became a wife. We've been down about SR's job situation, but it sounds like he may get hired to do research. And we're going on our honeymoon to California and Nevada starting next weekend. Life is great when you are in love.
I'll leave you with a thought that makes me happy on my birthday...
This is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Happy Birthday and Enjoy your honeymoon!
Happy birthday!
So where in California are you going to be? Just curious, since I live in this great (read: totally too expensive with gas prices that are quickly bleeding us dry) state. LOL!!
Happy birthday, SeaLegs. I hope your 29th year exceeds what sounds like a spectacular 28th year. For some reason, I actually thought you were in your 30s. What do I know. Happy honeymooning!

This is a beautiful poem, honey...made my eyes well up. I sent it to somebody:)
Happy birthday, sweet thing!
Happy birthday! We were born a day apart (me on the 22nd) and our babies, three weeks apart!
Thanks SLG! We live in Sicily, on the east coast. We will be moving early next year, maybe to the states, maybe to somewhere else in Europe. We still don't know. Hope you had a great birthday!
Michelle, we'll be in SF, Sacramento, Reno and the Sierra Nevadas. Not too close to Fortuna (which looks like a beatiful place, though!).
Meghan, I guess I'll take that to mean my perspective on life is so mature and not that I look older :).
Olga, I can't take credit for it. That's from the Regina Spektor running song of the day.
Thanks Lisa and Brianne!
Hey SLG, happy birthday! Mine was Sunday -- but I'm older than you. I'm going to be in Reno, Sacramento, and the Sierras this weekend. Are you by chance going to Western States? That happens to be where I'm going :-)
Marriage, childbirth, moving, change of jobs... that's one active year the two of you are having! Happy birthday!
Very cool, SLG! I grew up in Auburn near Sactown and really miss it. Thankfully my parents still live there so I can visit! ;-)
Yes, Fortuna is beautiful but definitely off the beaten path. That's probably my biggest complaint, actually. We're just so darned isolated!
Just be warned that there are lots of fires in the Sacramento area right now and the air quality is horrible because of the smoke. A lot of the fires have been burning a while in forested areas and might still be burning when you two get there. Sucks but it's true. :-(
Here's a link to a map of the active, major fires right now.

Shoot, that link didn't paste completely.
Try this one, then click on the statewide fire map (the Google Earth one):
