"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Happy 30th Nate!!


Nate did it!! He hit the big 3-0 on Saturday!! We tried to spoil him really good, but as usual I feel like he deserves so much more than we could ever do. Hopefully he had a nice day though :) I spent most of the morning putting his present together. He got off work at 11:00 and I finished it just in time. We (meaning the kids and I) were SO excited to give him his grill. We've been wanting to get him a bbq grill FOREVER!!! I kept thinking we should wait till we have our own house, but NAH.... why wait. So far he's made very good use of it and for some reason I still don't have a picture of him grilling. I couldn't find my camera in the morning. It wasn't until about 5:00 that evening that I finally found it.... lame. But yeah, so after we gave him his present and the kids gave him the cards they had made, Nate and I went on a nice little lunch date to Bajio. It was good. We stopped at the store and got some meat for him to grill, and headed home. We spent a lot of the day just relaxing, which, can I just say, seemed REALLY nice for some reason. Nate played with some Queensryche CDs with Steve, and then they got out Steve's Nintendo 64, the kids and he all played for a while. That was fun and different. And then we had a little bbq with family and his party. We had a few people show up for cake and ice cream.... it was really nice. I hope he felt special as that is the most important thing to me on birthdays. I love Nate and just feel like he deserves so much! Happy Birthday Nate!! I love you!

Christa, you don't even know how in touch u already are! Just the fact that you think of the veil each time he whines shows it. I believe the same thing! I didn't know others felt the same way too. When Kahner was born I KNEW who my gardian angel was (and is) and life made so much more sense. I teared up reading this and it reminded me that as Ollie going through the same thing how special and hard time it really is for them. Thanks for the reminder! I still really want to get together I am such a slacker I know! I have still really been struggling. Soon.
