One more candle added to the cake

Good morning 30, I've been expecting you....

I'd be lying to you if I said I did everything I wanted to do in my 20's - b/c I didn't. I did do a lot and had a lot of fun!
One thing I can say is I am ready for the next decade and it's a nice feeling. No panic, no regrets just excitement and anticipation.

Mike made sure I went out with a bang. This year he set up a sitter for Blake and took me on a weekend trip to New York City.

We walked the big apple



Went to a Broadway



He even took me on a dinner cruise.










It was just what I wanted.

Then on Monday, which was my actual Birthday, two great friends took me out for lunch.

If there is one great thing I have learned these last few years is that life may not turn out exactly how you planned it out to be and that is OK. In some ways that has been a hard lesson for me to learn, but I am grateful I have a great husband and a beautiful, perfect son.

The weather may be a TAD premature

and so might Robbie's car...

But that hasn't stopped any of us from going
canoeing

exploring

camping

hiking

building castles

and chillin' like a villain in our own backyard.

Greatest Gift

We, like many others, celebrated Easter with some colored Easter eggs.


A hunt with church members on a brisk spring morning.






But of course we all know vinegar stenched eggs and bunnies dressed up like Sir Elton John are not the true meaning of Easter.

It's a time of celebration for that great miracle and gift given to us - the gift of life eternal.
John 14:19
"because I live, ye shall live also"

I hope we all enjoyed Easter for it's true meaning and remember the life that Christ gave to us.
Happy Easter!
