Happy birthday!

So jealous you got to dance on stage with Elton; I saw his show in Vegas, and he is SUCH a great entertainer.

And hurrah for Australia; I've only been to NSW, but looking forward to going back someday to see more or just up and moving to Sydney, one of my favorite cities.

I've been reading your blog off and on for a while but don't think I've ever posted.
Happy Birthday and many blessings on this year, esp. your senior year in college.
The one thing from your list I'd want to do is see Kelly Slater surf in person.
