Happy 30th Jonathan!!

Today Jonathan turns 30! We've always kind of looked up at 30 as this rather large number that started us on being old. But as the date draws closer and closer, we are realizing just how great 30 actually is. Its a perfect combination between youth and maturity. Doesn't get much better than that - anyhow, that's what everyone 5o and over keeps telling us. So we will enjoy these days of being 30 and older, just as we've enjoyed the days up to this point.

"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

I thank God for this man that He has blessed me and my children with. He is a wonderful husband, father, friend, provider, worker, encourager, and servant of the LORD. He keeps our lives interesting and even though we think he's crazy sometimes -- we love him just the way he is.
