May God bless you on this day Elizabeth, and hoping for a wonderful "40th" year for you. I am so glad your day is turning out so wonderful. Best wishes!

And here's verse two that we sing at our house:
May Jesus bless you,
May Jesus bless you,
May He guide you and keep you,
May Jesus bless you!

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

God bless,

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! You have a few years on me, but I am so glad because I can learn so much from your experience.

Prayers for Micheal (and you) as he starts out in this new phase of life.

Happy birthday, Elizabeth.

I am 45 ( can't believe it!) and I still get those first/last pangs.

Hope all goes well for your ds.

I'm sure you are finished with your computer time for the day, Elizabeth, but I wanted to wish you a somewhat belated Happy Birthday.

My girls got a kick out of hearing that Michael and friend (who they also know) had their "first day of school" today at age 17.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!!!!   Many blessings!~
It may be the 11th there already, but here, it's 10:37 pm on the 10th!   
I am 43 and I think the 40's are mostly pretty do-able

A belated happy birthday to you, Elizabeth!!!

I just turned 40 last month and my sweet dh said the other day that I actually look younger than I did 5 years ago... I wonder if that corresponds with when I started to color my hair???

I don't think the big 40 is bad--now the big 50--I'm scared!!
