How Old?

So, we celebrated another year of my life on this beautiful world. Yep, 34 years. I had a wonderful day, thanks to Matt and both of our parents and siblings. We went to lunch with Matt's parents and my parents at Olive Garden it was so yummy!! Mom & Dad Funk gave me 3 awesome cartridges for my Cricut machine. I love them. Thanks so much!!! Then later for dinner, mom made me enchiladas and we had a yummy cake. White cake with raspberry filling, it was great! Matt gave me an necklace and earring set in my birthstone, they are gorgeous. He also got me some jewelry cleaner and some lotions. Mom and Dad got me a cute sweater and a couple of slips, which was badly needed. I guess I can finally get rid of the ones that Cassie, my dog from a long time ago, chewed on when I had her. Then they got me a really nice digital camera. I love it. I'm hoping to start trying to do some photography and take family pictures. Aunt Bean and Uncle John sent me a sweet card with some money. And some great phone calls and emails from family. And a great effort and thought from Amy in my digital b-day card, 45 min. of her day spent on me, means so much to me even if it didn't work. I love ya, Amy! My friend Alsiha listed the number of things that has made her, her in the number of years..
