Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on February 10, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Lauren! Another year of waking up before sunrise and still managing to look effortlessly fabulous on "Today in New York." Your ability to report traffic jams with charm makes even gridlock seem entertaining. Seriously—only you could make morning commutes enjoyable!

From your engaging interviews around the city’s best eateries, you've made us all hungry at 6 AM (thanks for that!). Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer early alarms and more delicious adventures ahead. Keep shining bright; mornings wouldn't be nearly as fun without your wit and warmth lighting our screens.

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
