Happy 30th Birthday to Brian

Today is my hubbie's 30th birthday. Wow, that's a BIG birthday isn't it? I have come to understand that everyone ---whether your older or younger, thinks 30 is a big deal. You are officially crossing over from your teens/twenties to a decade where you are simply waiting for middle age to hit. :) Brian is out playing golf at the exclusive Vaquero golf course this morning. Then later tonight I have some secrets in store for him. Can't go into detail just in case he checks this today---which I could almost guarantee he won't. I'll definitely post some pictures in the near future though.
So I realize I skipped a month in updating my blog. I really do feel bad about it because people start to think that it isn't worth looking at anymore. I frankly do not read any blog/space that isn't updated regularly. I apologize and ask that you not give up on me!
With the web, we now have opportunities to extend our prayer circle much further than our church small group. With that in mind, I'd like to ask your prayers for my family (extended). There are some hard things to be worked through and a lot of pain to heal from. Please pray for God's grace, love, and mercy to be poured out on our family in sizeable quantities. I appreciate this so much. Maybe someday I can disclose more, but for now, that's it.
I became an aunt for the 7th time this week. Jeremiah Tucker Mulree was born weighing a whopping 9lbs 11oz....booting Noah out of the biggest baby reign. I am so excited about this little boy---more so than usual and I'm not sure why. The last nephew that was born was Payton---and he turns 4 years old tomorrow! But I just LOVE babies and find myself being very drawn to Jeremiah. I think Noah and I are going to make a visit later this summer to spend some time with him (he's in CA). My other two sisters are done having children and it makes me sad. It widens the age gap between us. I obviously just started having kids and there is this funny need to have everyone around you having kids as well. But to know that my sisters are done, and that Kristy is possibly done now, makes me sad. There is a sense of everyone moving on and "closing" that chapter of their life and looking towards getting their kids all grown up and in school so that they can have more flexibility and freedom again. Which don't get me wrong, makes perfect sense. But I always seem to be closest to people who are one life stage ahead of me....and a few that are one stage behind me. I suppose my astounding maturity puts me in this place. ha ha ha. just kidding.
Well, I better get going and start making last minute preparations for tonight. If you know Brian and didn't realize it was his 30th today, send him an email or give him a call. He would appreciate it so much. Until next time..............
