    I am feeling perturbed by 30 and I haven't yet reached 29, so I feel ya. If I could give you an extravagant birthday gift to cheer you up it would be a night at Grantleigh Manor. 🙂 Happy Birthday Emily!

    Happy Birthday. The 30s are great and the 40s are better. Keep on biking.

    Happy Birthday!

    My 30th scared me to death, but my thirties have been so much better than my twenties. I hope you can say the same in a few years.

    Happy birthday you darling, darling girl! I hope you'll find, as I have, that your thirties are fabulous!

    Happy Birthday! I turned 30 on the 4th and I have to say, I *am* feeling a newfound sense of direction and ambition. Take time to reflect, but keep moving forward!

    Towley – In general, it was a lot like wedding planning. The stress and worry leading up to the birthday was a bit ridiculous. The day itself was great. And the "being" is the best part.

    Oh, the happiest of days to you – if it is any consolation, you are a total inspiration for how to live such a good, clean, fun and breezy life. I would love to be what you are when I turn 30, which is only 3 years away for me. You make it look good, and better yet exciting, lady!
