I'm now 3 tens!!

Yesterday was my 30th birthday.  Caedon asked me how many 30 is.  I told him that 30 is 3 tens.  "But, mom!  That is too old.  You should be dead and with God in heaven!!"  Wow.  Talk about perspective!!

Overall, I am happy with where I'm at at 30.  We still have some struggles (I'd thought I'd be completely financially secure by now...pretty funny thought).  But, I've been blessed with an amazing hubby and 3 great kids.  Sometimes it feels like more than I can handle.  Times when the baby has a blow-out up the front AND back right when Gavin decides to whack Caedon over the head causing the greatest tragedy since Pearl Harbor (at least in Caedon's mind).  All of this happens right when I'm opening the door to load up the mini-van to head out to church!  All of the sudden, I'm not feeling much like worshipping!  But, for every rough moment, there are a hundred amazing moments.  Moments when I look at the life God has given me and I can't swallow over the lump in my throat.  What did I do to deserve this life?  I must remember to relish every moment because the days may be long, but the time is so short.
