Another Year Older...

Now I am officially 34 years old. I am reminded as I am every birthday about the OB/GYN whose lunch hour was interrupted so I could be delivered safely. My arrival was early by about 6 weeks; I guess I just couldn't wait any longer.

Much has happened in the last year. It hardly seems possible that a year has gone by, actually. I still remember well what was happening this time last year. My unfortunate root canal, the Virginia Tech shootings, my birthday supper at Pietro's.

If I'd only known how much would be different a year later! I am a first-time uncle (love ya, Lydia Joy!). I am a first-time dog owner (love ya, Chili-dog!). I am now grandparent-less (love ya, Papaw and Clara!).

What will this birthday year bring?

Happy Birthday, I forgot your birthday was so close to mine. I welcomed 32 on Monday.

I hope you have a great day.
