RE: RC: young adults & Endurance

I have to agree...I'm 30 and have a 2 1/5 yr old and a 10 yr old.  Boy, was it tough to convince me to have that second baby!!  For the exact reasons addressed by Carolyn: no sooner did I get Alyssa grow enough to be able to get back to riding than I had Katie and now have to go back to 'idle' until she's a bit older....but we're trying!!  And to think, the husband actually asked to have a THIRD last year.  No thanks, I want to be able to enjoy my outdoor/horsey life before I'm too old to. (no offense to the over 30 crowd!).  I really do have a lifetime goal of riding the Tevis one day, and I really don't want to have to wait till I'm 50 to do it the first time!
