However, his outlook is correct. When you get married at 20, and celebrate your 30th birthday with four kids while simultaneously planning your 10 year anniversary (still taking child care offers!).. it feels a bit like you have hit the major stepping stones of growing up, and the next to arrive is the AARP card come Birthday number 55. Yet it's not all doom and gloom. It was a good time to realize that he's done a lot at the ripe old age of 30. There's a lot of life still to do, but man.. we sure know how to pack it in and get things done. And I'm not just talking about going to law school, becoming a lawyer, moving 5 times, having 4 kids, a crazy wife, and cool hair. Although that does take some energy.
In addition to having a relaxing day of bike races, a McDonald's breakfast because two rambunctious little boys lost the privilege of going to the planned gourmet breakfast brunch.. we found time to simply relax. Added to that was the endless supply of caffeine provided by none other than Kevin's birthday present, a Keurig coffee maker. Let me just say that the sheer delight I felt in the ease of brewing a cup of Joe in under 60 seconds was enough to keep me awake for days. We all know how much Kevin likes his coffee.. so it was a perfect gift, for both of us. His birthday was, however, a great excuse for the purchase.

And we would like to take a side note to thank the many lovely friends and family that participated in my other gift to Kevin: a journal of notes from you all letting him know how much you love him, and appreciate his friendship. He loved it. And when I say he loved it, you know that meant that there were a few tears. He wouldn't be ashamed to admit it. We cry at commercials. There is nothing better than knowing that you have made a difference with your life. And Kevin Mitchell.. you have made a difference in all of ours.
Happy 30th Birthday: You still look as Young as always.
