Memorable Moments

Today is my 30th Birthday.
The BIG 30!
I'm not going through a mid-life crisis or anything (nor should I because my life is not mid-way) but it is a little strange to be 30 years old. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was in high school or graduating from college. I feel very blessed for the life I have been given. I'm grateful for the all the opportunities I have had to learn and grow. My family and friends are amazing and I feel important and loved. Most of all, I feel loved by my Heavenly Father. He has given me so much and continues to bless me.

Here are a few moments that stood out to me from today:
Chris wishing me happy birthday early this morning during a brief moment of being awake.
Chris making me breakfast.
Lila, with her sweet voice, telling me 'no', when I asked her for a birthday hug.
My brother Scott, telling me he was going to mow the lawn, when I asked him how he was going to celebrate my birthday.
Lila giving me a hug because she wanted to.
Calvin actually taking a 45 minute nap today in his bassinet.
Chris driving 10 miles to get me my birthday cake with chocolate crunchies, that I love.
Feeling love from so many people through phone calls, texts, and FB messages.

I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!
Can't wait to see what life in my 30's will bring:)

Things Change Quickly...

From this...
to this...
I love Lila's expression and Calvin's lack of in these two photos:)
They actually play great together and despite what this photo shows, Lila handles the hair pulling well. At least she does so far. They love each other and that makes me happy.

On another note, here's some pics I took of them today.
The end.
